DECEMBER No. 488

THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE SALVADOR,

CONSIDERING:

I.- Article 101 of the Constitution provides that the State shall promote economic and social development through increased production, productivity and rational use of resources. To that end, it will promote the various sectors of production and defend the interest of consumers, and thus boost the economy to generate new sources of employment or strengthen existing ones;

II.- That in order to achieve a more robust and dynamic economy, combat poverty and promote productive development, a comprehensive policy should be established that includes the modernization of legislation, creating an agile and modern legal framework that enhances the economic value of different types of movable goods, so that they can be guaranteed and adequately support the obligations of all kinds that contravene the various sectors of the country ' s economy, primarily micro, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs; ;

III.- That while civil and commercial legislation contemplates a number of types of mobiliary guarantees, the regulation of their registration and execution is diverse, so it is necessary to establish a uniform regime of agile, transparent, safe and economically accessible procedures for the constitution, registration, advertising, cancellation or realization of those procedures, for which it is necessary to establish a specific electronic record, equipped with security measures indispensable for its proper functioning;

IV.- That the legal and practical experiences of the modern market have been reflected in a Model Law on Mobility Guarantees, adopted by the Assembly of the Organization of American States; so many countries are basing their reform efforts on this subject in the Model Law mentioned above, which would provide an appropriate basis for regional harmonization if used to issue homogeneous laws in those countries that have a legal framework on this subject.

TANTO,

in the use of its constitutional powers and at the initiative of the President of the Republic, through the Minister of Economy,

Describe the following:
