Most of the Ecuadorians are Roman-Catholic; the official language is Spanish. The Presidential Republic is sovereign since 1822 and is subdivided into 24 provinces. They have adopted US-currency.
Ecuador – export friendly and economically involved
The country has rich mineral resources and leads the way with petroleum, natural gas and gold. The largest petroleum reserves are in the Amazon regions. Since just 50 years, it has been producing approximately 400,000 barrels of petroleum, which is predominantly exported to South Korea and USA. Besides fossil fuels, it exports roses, coffee, cocoa, bananas and prawns. Oil palm plantation is a very significant industry. Palm oil is distributed globally for lubricants, frying fats and cosmetics. The large mangrove forests on the pacific coasts are spawning sites for prawns, fishes, crabs and mussels. This makes the Republic of Ecuador the fourth largest exporter of crabs in the world. The most significant import products are vehicles, machines, and means of transportation and chemical products. In 2016, the Government decided to invest 34 billion dollar in energy and water industry, industry, tourism and oil production. Presently there are attractive investment options even for foreign companies.
