Overview
Ecuador's government revenue stood at 36.80% in 2024, a rise of +0.82% from 2023. Ecuador ranked 54th globally.
Ecuador’s government revenue as a share of GDP has risen sharply from 19.93 percent in 1995 to 36.80 percent in 2024, placing the country 54th globally. The upward trajectory accelerated after the all‑time trough of 16.43 percent in 1998, reflecting fiscal consolidation in the early 2000s, and peaked at 40.33 percent in 2012 before moderating in the subsequent decade. Compared with peers of similar rank, Australia recorded 36.70 percent and Azerbaijan 37.97 percent in the same year, indicating that Ecuador’s revenue performance now aligns closely with middle‑income economies that have diversified tax bases and relatively stable commodity exports. The 30‑year coverage shows a sustained increase in fiscal capacity, yet the post‑peak decline suggests sensitivity to external shocks and domestic spending pressures. Continued structural reforms, improved tax administration and a stable macro‑environment will be crucial to sustain the recent upward trend and potentially lift revenue above the current level.
