World Bank | Washington DC | Updated: 02-02-2022- 'World Bank approves US$ 700M loan for resilient economic recovery in Ecuador- "The World Bank's mission is to reduce poverty, promote shared prosperity for those who have the least, and achieve environmental sustainability."

"The approved operation is the first of three loans that will allow the Ecuadorian government to continue its policies to address structural challenges to achieve fiscal sustainability, promote job creation and protect the most vulnerable population, as well as to strengthen low-carbon development and fulfill the country's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050."

"This operation reflects Ecuador's decision to create opportunities, generate employment, guarantee transparency and fiscal sustainability with equity, and promote climate action. The World Bank's mission is to reduce poverty, promote shared prosperity for those who have the least, and achieve environmental sustainability. Thus, today's decision by the Bank's Board of Directors is an acknowledgment of Ecuador's commitment to sustainable, equitable growth for the planet," said the Minister of Economy and Finance, Simón Cueva.

This new financial operation has two pillars. The first will support government efforts to promote more inclusive, resilient fiscal management through inclusive, transparent and green tax collection; promote growth and job opportunities by reducing trade barriers and labor market rigidity; and strengthen mechanisms to support the most vulnerable groups, including people living in extreme poverty and malnourished children.

The second pillar will support actions to encourage private sector participation in the financing of non-conventional renewable energies, facilitating renewable distributed generation, an institutional framework to prioritize investments in energy efficiency, decarbonization of the transport sector, measurement and reporting of greenhouse gases, mitigation initiatives and development of voluntary carbon markets.

"The COVID-19 pandemic has had many repercussions for countries' development. Today, governments must address these challenges by thinking about solutions that allow sustainable growth while protecting the most vulnerable," said Marianne Fay, the World Bank Director for Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru.

"The World Bank helps countries take advantage of green growth opportunities. Ecuador is taking important steps to advance on the path of ecological transition, which will allow it to build environmentally-friendly practices and at the same time prevent the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable groups," she said.

The financing is a variable rate loan with a maturity period of 16.5 years, including a 5-year grace period."-
