Overview

Ecuador’s gross savings rate has risen steadily over the 50‑year span from 17.88 percent in 1976 to 23.76 percent in 2025, placing the country 65th in the world. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 30.49 percent during the 2008 global boom, while the deepest decline occurred in 1987 with a trough of 11.76 percent, reflecting the adverse effects of the debt crisis that hit many Latin American economies. The 2025 level is virtually identical to the rate recorded by Italy (23.72 percent) and only marginally below Iceland’s 23.92 percent, suggesting that Ecuador now aligns with middle‑income economies that maintain moderate savings buffers. The upward trajectory since the late 1980s indicates a growing capacity to finance investment domestically, but future movements will depend on fiscal discipline, commodity price volatility, and the effectiveness of reforms aimed at broadening the tax base and improving financial inclusion.
