Foreign investors have the same trading rights as local investors.
There are no authorizations, licenses, or any other condition required or restriction imposed for trading in securities in Ecuador, except with respect to investing in the financial sector where the Superintendency of Banks should approve the investor's reliability. However, the same restrictions apply to both local investors and foreign investors. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the ability of foreign investors to purchase or sell securities in the local market, except with respect to fisheries, radio, television, publicity, and real estate within a certain range from territorial borders. Based on a Ministerial Regulation, investments made by a foreign company duly incorporated in Ecuador are considered national. Foreign individuals may also be qualified as national investors if they are residents of this country, and waive the right to repatriate their investment of the profits therefrom.
