Incidencia de los sectores económicos en el PIB del Ecuador en el periodo 2018-2021: distinción pre y post pandemia Covid-19.

Abstract

This document is focused on analyzing the performance of the economic sectors and their incidence on Ecuador's GDP, identifying their evolution from 2018 to 2021, taking into account the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, which forced the government to implement economic and health measures that affected both negatively and positively the country's economic sectors. In order to understand the contribution of the respective economic activities, a quantitative, descriptive and documentary methodology was used, making use of official data from the Central Bank of Ecuador as the main source of information. All this in order to identify the contrast between the two periods studied and reach conclusions about the reality of the Ecuadorian economy. It recognizes the resounding change in national production around the pandemic experimentation, including in the industries (Commerce, Construction, and Education/Health and Social Services) that contribute the most to the economy, and the social and economic factors that influenced it.
