As of March 13, 2026, Ecuador's international reserves (RI) reached a staggering $11.940 billion, setting a new historical record according to the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE). This sum surpasses the previous record set on February 16, 2026, by $81.54 million, indicating a consistent upward trend in the country's financial statistics. The BCE attributed this increase to sound financial management practices aimed at maintaining economic stability and supporting the sustainability of the U.S. dollarization in Ecuador.

The details of the current reserves reveal a diverse composition: $807.81 million in net deposits in foreign banks and financial institutions, $5.928 billion in time deposits and securities investments, and $4.262 billion in gold, among other assets. This distribution reflects a solid base from which Ecuador can manage its economic challenges and strengthen its financial security, further reinforcing investor confidence in the nation's monetary policies and practices.

As Ecuador continues to stabilize its economic landscape, the Central Bank emphasizes transparency and technical management as essential factors in protecting the national economy. The rising reserves not only signify a buffer against external shocks but also serve to boost credibility with international partners and investors, thereby enhancing the overall economic framework of the country, which remains heavily dollarized.
