Comercio bilateral entre Ecuador y la Unión Europea: Impacto generado en balanza comercial por el acuerdo Multipartes, 2019 – 2022

Abstract

For several years, Ecuador's accession to the Trade Agreement with the European Union was paralyzed due to the debate between opinions as to whether or not it benefited the country, but by the end of 2016 it was signed and came into effect at the beginning of 2017 and that, Once 6 years have passed since the implementation of the agreement, its analysis is essential. The objective of this article was to study the exchange of non-oil goods and its impact on the trade balance in the period between 2019 and 2022, through the analysis of statistical data that were prepared based on public information from the Central Bank of Ecuador, integrating it with bibliographic references to thus provide it with a theoretical basis. With the results obtained, it is concluded that the trade agreement has allowed us to continue maintaining a positive non-oil trade balance, consolidating the European Union as one of the three main trading partners with regard to non-oil exports.
