The study is focused in branches of activities corresponding to the primary and secondary sectors which include the manufacturing industry. The task is also performed at an aggregated level and at the level of products related with employment increase and basic alimentary items. Based on information provided by the Banco Central del Ecuador (BCE) concerning offer and utilization both at current prices as well as at constant ones (referenced to 2000). We are computed the Export Ratio, Coverage Rate, Import Penetration Ratio, Tradability Index, International Competition Exposition Rate, Openness Level and Trading Balance Rate. These indexes let us measure the country’s competitiveness both at global and sectorial level and therefore help the decisions making for improving Ecuador’s situation. The classification by branch of activity and main product of external trade is that used by the Banco Central del Ecuador, which corresponds to the International Standard Industrial Classification of Economic Activities (CIIU, Rev. 3) and Products Classification of National Accounts (CPCN).
