Export growth lagged behind that of imports, as buoyant nontraditional exports, rising at a 16 percent annual rate, were offset by stagnant exports of the maquila sector. In particular, the discussions centered on (i) spillovers from the United States to El Salvador and the associated risks; (ii) the short-term fiscal stance and its consistency with medium-term fiscal objectives; and (iii) the internationalization of the Salvadoran banking system.
