Central American Common Market

A first effort to establish a Central American Common Market, CACM
(Spanish: Mercado Com?n Centroamericano, MCCA) was attempted in 1960 under
the auspeices of the Organiztion of Central American States (OCAS). A
restructuring was started in 1973. Members include Honduras, Guatemala, El
Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The common market will cover all
products traded within the region by the end of 1992. A second step toward
regional integration will be the establishment of a
common external tariff. CACM is associated with the Central American Bank
for Economic Integration; headquarters are in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
