Ecuador Central Bank Lifts 2026 GDP Growth Forecast to 2.7%

Ecuador's central bank raised its 2026 economic growth forecast to 2.7%, up from a prior estimate, though it frames the projection as a technical scenario rather than a firm prediction. The revision suggests improved official expectations for the Andean economy, but uncertainty remains over external conditions and domestic policy implementation. The move signals a modestly more optimistic growth outlook for Ecuador, which could support investor sentiment toward the country's assets.
