Economic Context

Ecuador’s economy is expected to grow by around 2.5% in 2025, driven by the recovery of the oil sector, the expansion of agribusiness, and the dynamism of trade. This growth is attributed to rising crude oil prices, infrastructure investment, and a rebound in domestic consumption.

The country maintains a stable macroeconomic framework, although it faces fiscal challenges due to its level of debt. Nevertheless, the government has reaffirmed its commitment to fiscal sustainability through the implementation of consolidation measures and agreements with multilateral organisations, which has helped preserve investor confidence and financial stability.

Market Opportunities

Ecuador’s expected economic growth in 2025 is set to generate new opportunities in key sectors such as agribusiness, mining, and technology. The government is promoting incentives to attract foreign investment, including the reduction of regulatory barriers and tax incentives for strategic sectors. Furthermore, infrastructure modernisation and the strengthening of foreign trade are enhancing the country’s competitiveness, facilitating market diversification, and boosting productivity in key industries.
