| description |
The policy notes for Ecuador are part of
a series of books that the Bank prepares periodically
summarizing its accumulated knowledge on the economic and
social issues of member countries. The timing of the notes,
early 2007, coincides with a new presidential period, which
offers the country the opportunity to consolidate many of
the gains of the past few years, while building the basis
for a more dynamic, equitable and inclusive growth process.
The analysis contained in the policy notes indicates that
Ecuador is a country with great potential, with a society
that has exhibited incredible resilience and the ability to
adapt to new challenges. The Ecuadoran society has overcome
adversity with great determination in the past few years.
Periodic economic crises, external shocks, and even natural
disasters tested the country's ability to cope with
difficulties. Despite these challenges, the country has
maintained a forward-looking perspective and has achieved
some important goals. Economic stability in the past few
years has given Ecuador the opportunity for a period of
sustained economic growth. During this period several
development indicators have improved, and several sectors of
the economy have demonstrated the dynamism and
entrepreneurship that are present the Ecuadoran culture. In
general, surveys show that Ecuadorans feel that their
individual conditions are likely to improve in the future.
The notes cover many areas and subjects but are grouped into
three broad themes: preserving stability and accelerating
growth, promoting sustainable and equitable social
development, and improving governance and strengthening
institutions. The remainder of this chapter summarizes the
main findings and recommendations of the policy notes. |
