Description:... Ecuador, like many developing countries, aims at increasing the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in its economy, not only through attracting more FDI but also through benefiting from it more in terms of technology, employment, exports, skills and in general competitiveness. The report considers the policies and actions needed to realise Ecuador's considerable FDI potential. It concludes that the success will depend on the effectiveness of the Government's policies relating to: restoring stability and resuming growth; achieving social consensus; further improving the legal framework for investment; implementing a viable privatisation programme; improving physical infrastructure; increasing long-term benefits from FDI; and implementing an investment promotion programme.
