El Salvador Handelsbilanzsaldo

El Salvador’s trade deficit widened to $844.7 million in June 2025 from $707 million a year earlier, as import growth outpaced exports. Imports jumped 16.6% year-on-year to $1.42 billion, driven primarily by a 24.2% surge in capital goods purchases. Exports also rose, increasing 12.5% to $574.1 million, but the gain was insufficient to counterbalance the sharp rise in imports. The export boost was mainly supported by a 49.7% jump in coffee shipments, while sugar exports plunged by 72%.
