El Salvador's exports drop 7.3 percent

El Salvador's exports dropped 7.3 percent in the first five months of the year, compared with the same period last year, the country's central bank said.

The figure represents exports worth $2.19 billion from January to May.

If the numbers continue to drop, the country's economy would grow less than 2 percent this year, said analyst Rigoberto Monge.
