ECUADOR: A STRATEGIC LOCATION
|
|
Ecuadorian businesses are positioned at the boundaries of two of the largest and most flourishing markets of the world: on one side the new and expanding markets of the Pacific Rim, and on the other side the markets of USA, Mexico, and Canada. Ecuador, set at the heart of the Andean Pact Countries, is also uniquely poised at the center of South America and able to reach the growing markets of Colombia, Peru, Chile, Brazil, and others, but also within easy reach of European Community markets as well.

More than 19% of Ecuador's exports are manufactured goods (ECUADOR today). Around 50% of exports go to North America, while 18% go to Europe, and 13% go to the Pacific Rim countries, 9% to the Andean Group, and 14% to the other Latin American countries. The North American Trade Agreements always bring extraordinary opportunities for international trade between Ecuador and U.S.A., Mexico and Canada. NAFTA had created a market of more than 400 million people. USA 300,000,000 Million people CANADA 28,975,000 MEXICO 96,630,000 For a long time Ecuadorian business has been preparing for this great market opportunity. Today is that day.
