Ecuador unveils 2040 Growth Agenda
The Ecuadorian government, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance, released the "Agenda de Crecimiento Ecuador 2040," a 130‑page strategic plan that sets a long‑term vision for the country's economic transformation. The document outlines three main pillars – institutional and legal security, fiscal stability, and competitiveness with productive investment – and adds a focus on strengthening dollarisation and deepening the financial system. Technical support for the agenda was provided by the Inter‑American Development Bank (BID).
The agenda calls for coordinated action among national and regional governments, the private sector, workers, academia, and civil society to turn the vision into concrete policies. Critics note that the plan does not address constitutional reforms that many see as necessary for attracting larger private investment and achieving the targeted sustained growth of around 4‑6 % per year.
