There are loads of datasets, available in both the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE) and National Institute of Statistics (INEC) repositories, both containing oficial statistics from from different sources.

Our Datasets are contained in five sections: Activity, Prices, Money and Banking, Fiscal, External Sector and Financial.

Moreover, data is pre-processed within the platform so that you don't have to spend time doing transformations such as Seasonal Adjustment, currency change, % of GDP, Year to Date, Cumulative sums, etc.
