Exportadores salvadoreños prevén aumento de costos por restricción en el Canal de Panamá

The president of the Salvadoran Exporters Corporation (Coexport), Silvia Cuéllar, announced that the reduction of vessel traffic through the Panama Canal, effective this Thursday, is expected to increase operational costs for Salvadoran exporters. The restrictions on the interoceanic route are anticipated to impact logistics and trade expenses for businesses in El Salvador.

This development highlights the vulnerability of regional supply chains to operational changes within the Panama Canal. As a critical transit point for international trade, the reduction in capacity poses a direct financial challenge to Salvadoran export activities, forcing stakeholders to prepare for potential economic adjustments.
