A reduction of the remittance tax from 3.5% to 1% has eased potential economic distress, but it applies only to cash remittances and represents a small portion of total remittances. Livestock exports are set to gradually resume due to previous bans. However, these agreements have not alleviated broader concerns, as negotiations appear dominated by non-political actors rather than a robust diplomatic response, leading analysts to criticize the government's handling of the relationship.
