El Salvador
This information comes from the assessment conducted in country for the El Salvador report, which was published in January 2005.
For many reasons, El Salvador is a role model for the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) region. Since implementation of its Final Peace Agreement in January 1994, El Salvador has experienced numerous and far-reaching achievements in economic development and institutional capacity building. There exists a seriousness of purpose in reforming public institutions that has produced tangible results, including a highly functioning Company Registry and a similarly effective Real Property Registry; a customs service that has made dramatic strides in efficiency and effectiveness; and improved managerial and automation practices in several other government agencies.
