Ecuador has undergone a preliminary assessment of its capacity to implement the AEOI Standard and technical assistance is being offered to support implementation in collaboration with other international organizations and member countries. The assistance provided during this mission is aimed at ensuring that Ecuador can pass the relevant legislation to implement AEOI. Ecuador is expected to issue an official commitment to implement the Common Reporting Standard in the near future and to indicate a specific timeline to commence exchanges under the standard.
