Ecuador’s legal framework implementing the AEOI Standard is not in place in accordance with the requirements of the AEOI Terms of Reference. While Ecuador’s international legal framework to exchange the information with all of Ecuador’s Interested Appropriate Partners (CR2) is consistent with the requirements, Ecuador’s domestic legislative framework requiring Reporting Financial Institutions to conduct the due diligence and reporting procedures (CR1) has significant deficiencies in areas that are fundamental to the proper functioning of the AEOI Standard. More specifically, deficiencies have been identified in Ecuador’s enforcement framework and in relation to the scope of Financial Accounts.
