Ecuador: determinantes de la deuda externa durante la pandemia covid-19.

Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to identify the determinants of external debt through statistical information and its economic effect during the Covid-19 pandemic. In order to know the contrast of the determinants, we analyzed from 2018 to 2020. The method used in this research is quantitative since the results presented are descriptive statistics. The techniques and instruments used are in correspondence to a descriptive analytical approach, and for the collection of indexed data we resorted to official statistical sources such as: The World Bank, Central Bank of Ecuador and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. In order to know that the creditors and tax collection are the determinants that established the information collected, demonstrating that the economic effects of the loss of income caused by the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the increase of the Ecuadorian external debt by generating an imbalance with the negotiation of the debt.
