The exchange of goods between Guatemala and Ecuador shows an average annual growth of 16.7 percent and 16.5 percent, in the last four years, according Ecuador’s Embassy Trade Office report.
As indicated, the Central American country’s non-oil sales to the Andean people went, between 2018 and 2022, from US $44.5 million to US $82.5 million and those of that country from US $37.6 million to US $69.5 million.
“Trade has been growing steadily; it is diverse and consolidated. Guatemala is not a marginal partner; it is an impor- tant partner and, I would say, the most important in Central America”, the Ecuadorian ambassador Hernán Yáñez said.
The diplomat considers that the recent year’s trend will continue in 2023.
Closer ties
In April 2022, an extension to the Partial Scope Agreement of Economic Complementation between both countries, in force since February 2013 and initially covering 614 products, came into force.
This extended the tariff preferences to 160 more items in beverages, textiles and clothing, fruits and processed products, confectionery, notebooks and paper, and snacks.
