Análisis descriptivo de las exportaciones de los principales productos ecuatorianos y su relación con el producto interno bruto. Período 2010-2024

Abstract

This research analyzes the evolution of Ecuador’s commodity exports and their relationship with the Gross Domestic Product(GDP) from 2010 to 2024. It aims to determine the influence of export sectors on the national economic performance through a descriptive and quantitative analysis. Using data from the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE), ECLAC, and INEC, the study employs graphs and contingency tables to identify trends and behavioral patterns. The results demonstrate that while international trade is crucial for GDP (peaking at 28.3% in 2011 and reaching 28.1% in 2022), its trajectory depends on external factors such as oil prices, the COVID-19 pandemic, and government policies focused on increasing value added and stabilizing the export matrix.
