Central America opens for business

Article Abstract:

Central American nations are learning the economic value to international trade and are working to improve the factors promoting import and export trade. These nations however, must learn to make their estimates realistic and prevent their economies from overexposure so that adverse consequences of globalisation will not have that much an impact. Central American leaders are opening up their markets and streamlining customs procedures aside from others in the hopes of increasing trade and economic growth.
