Sales of Computer Parts Up
The sales abroad of chips and
other computer parts recorded a
25% increase the first 10 months
in 2005, as compared to the same
period last year.
The increase is due, mainly, to
a recovery of the international
demand of Intel products.
In 2004, the cumulate sales
January-October were us$938
million, while the amount for
the same period this year
reaches us$1.17 billion.
This means a us$234 million
difference, according to the
Foreign Trade Promoter of Costa
Rica (PROCOMER in Spanish).
The benefit for the economy of
the country, aside from the
exports, is that the increase in
the production of chips
generates more jobs and a larger
demand of support services for
the operations in Costa Rica.
