Impacto del COVID-19 en las remesas y su efecto en la economía ecuatoriana en el año 2020.

Abstract

Remittances, FDI and exports from the non-oil sector are considered as an inflow of foreign currency with a large share in the balance of payments, constituting an important contribution to Ecuadorian economic growth. One year after the decree of the declaration of a state of exception in March 2020, this research aims to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the Ecuadorian economy, focusing the analysis on the effect on the receipt of foreign capital flows and their participation in economic development during 2020 in relation to previous periods, through the search and collection of data from different secondary sources.
