Abstract

Although Ecuador maintains a mining potential, it has not received the corresponding support so that the activities are properly channeled and it is considered a strategic sector that contributes to the country's productivity. Legal instability has limited foreign investment, and this situation in recent years has generated a problem of low levels of contribution of this sector to the Gross Domestic Product (PIB). Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the impact that the mining sector had on Ecuador's PIB, from 2017 to 2020, which established the degree of correlation between the indicators of liquidity, indebtedness, management and profitability of mining companies and the Ecuadorian PIB through the analysis of the financial statements exposed in the Superintendence of Companies, Securities and Insurance corresponding to the years of study through a quantitative methodology of correlational scope. The results obtained showed that PIB had an impact on liquidity, however, indicators such as country risk were added, which showed a relationship with liquidity and indebtedness, and inflation with the management indicator. Therefore, it was concluded that the integration of national economic indices denoted the influence of the sector and its dependence on direct economic stability to absorb international capital, which contributes to the growth of the national PIB.
