The Colon Free Zone (ZLC) ended the first half of the year with sales of $8,226 billion.

The figure represents an increase of 26.8% compared to the first half of 2020, but is still below the results of the first half of 2019, when sales amounted to $9.185 billion.

Last year, commercial activity in the free zone remained at minimum levels due to the mobility restrictions implemented by the Government to combat the spread of the Covid-19 disease.

Giovanni Ferrari , manager of the ZLC, acknowledged that the free zone is immersed in a process of recovery, but the activity is still somewhat distant from the data prior to the pandemic.
