Full partner list for 2025

Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates.
Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for El Salvador's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories.
