Entre los factores externos se tiene el mayor nivel de exportaciones hacia Estados Unidos, el alza en los precios internacionales de productos básicos como el petróleo y la mayor inversión extranjera directa en el país, factores que convirtieron al sector externo en motor de crecimiento en 2003. Igualmente, para 2004 se espera que este proceso de recuperación continúe, aunque muy ligado al desempeño económico mundial y específicamente de Estados Unidos.
