Impacto del COVID-19 en el sector de la economía en Ecuador

Abstract

The economic crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on various economic sectors in Ecuador, which has led many companies to close and a significant loss of jobs and economic income to the country. The objective of this research is to provide detailed information on the financial situation of the country after the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the negative effects that it has had on economic growth and on the ability of people to meet their basic needs, especially for those who belong to the most vulnerable groups. The analysis presented shows how the crisis has caused an economic contraction in the country, significantly affecting government revenue, employment and consumption. Although some economic changes have taken place, much remains to be done to improve the financial situation of the Ecuadorian population in general. Finally, the collected statistical data and figures show a challenging financial situation in Ecuador caused by COVID-19, which makes it necessary to implement effective measures to improve the economy and reduce inequality in the country. To achieve this, it is important that policies and strategies are carried out to support the people and companies most affected by the crisis, while at the same time promoting sustainable economic growth in the long term. In this way, it will be possible to overcome the current economic challenges of the country and lay the foundations for a more solid and stable economy in the future for the Ecuadorian population.
