Ecuador’s trade surplus narrowed to $485.58 million in January 2026, down from $877.56 million in the same month a year earlier. Exports slipped to $3.10 billion from $3.17 billion, as higher shipments of primary products, which rose to $2.82 billion from $2.75 billion, were outweighed by a sharp decline in industrial exports, which fell to $284.54 million from $422.32 million. At the same time, imports increased to $2.62 billion from $2.30 billion, driven by higher purchases of raw materials, up to $886.41 million from $752.35 million, and a rise in consumer goods imports to $689.85 million from $503.07 million. Imports of capital goods also climbed, reaching $615.77 million compared with $507.69 million, while purchases of fuels and lubricants declined to $417.82 million from $519.38 million.
