Ecuador's credit to GDP ratio has undergone significant fluctuations over the past 24 years, with a notable increase in recent years. The ratio has risen from its all-time trough of 18.06 in 2003 to its current peak of 58.07 in 2025, a substantial growth of 39.01 percentage points. This trajectory is comparable to that of Malta, where the ratio has also increased by 38.61 percentage points since 2002. In contrast to some of its peer countries, such as the Slovak Republic, which has maintained a consistently high ratio, Ecuador's growth has been more pronounced in the past decade. The latest value of 58.07 in 2025 indicates a high level of credit in the economy. A potential shift in the trajectory could be driven by changes in Ecuador's economic policies or an adjustment in global interest rates, which could impact the country's ability to attract foreign investment and maintain its credit profile.
