AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

US Tariffs & Forced Labour: The Trump administration began imposing new 10%–12.5% Section 301 tariffs on imports from 60 trading partners, after a temporary global 10% levy expired—Ecuador is listed among the 10% group, while China and others face 12.5%. Ecuador Oil Windfall: With the US-Iran conflict pushing crude higher, Ecuador’s government is collecting record oil tax revenue—$1.63bn as of July 23—though analysts warn the “bonanza” is smaller than it could be due to weak transport and refining infrastructure. Ecuador-Linked Drug Smuggling: Italy seized nearly 1,700 pounds of cocaine hidden in a refrigerated banana container shipped from Ecuador, estimated at about €250m ($290m), highlighting how legitimate exports can be abused. China-Ecuador Ties: Ecuador’s National Assembly delegation met China’s Latin America affairs envoy Qiu Xiaoqi, reaffirming plans to deepen cooperation in economy, trade, science, tech, tourism, and agriculture. Security & Trade Pressure: Trump renewed threats of tariffs against Canada over wildfire smoke, adding to a week of escalating trade friction. World Cup Finance: FIFA announced a record $727m World Cup 2026 prize pool, with Ecuador among the teams set for $12.5m payouts.
