Ekonomiczna pomoc - pobieranie | $267.6 million of which $55 million from US (2005) |
Ekonomia | The smallest country w Central America, Salwador has the third largest economy, but growth has been modest w recent years. Robust growth w non-traditional exports have offset declines w the maquila exports, while remittances and external aid offset the trade deficit from high oil prices and strong import demand dla consumer and intermediate goods. Salwador leads the region w remittances per capita z inflows equivalent to nearly all export income. Implementation w 2006 of the Central America-Republika Dominikanska Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), which Salwador was the first to ratify, has strengthened an already positive export trend. With the adoption of the US dollar as its currency w 2001, Salwador lost control over monetary policy and must concentrate on maintaining a disciplined fiscal policy. The current government has pursued economic diversification, z some success w promoting textile production, international port services, and tourism through tax incentives. It is committed to opening the economy to trade and investment, and has embarked on a wave of privatizations extending to telecom, electricity distribution, banking, and pension funds. In late 2006, the government and the Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a five-year, $461 million compact to stimulate economic growth and reduce poverty w the country's northern region through investments w education, public services, enterprise development, and transportation infrastructure. |
