7 In the nineties, Petroecuador reviewed contracts and granted the operation of fields to Private corporations that increased their production. In May 2006, the expiration of the contract between the State and Occidental (Oxy) was declared, thus block 15 and the unified fields were transfered to the State. As of late 2010, State owned corporations increased their production due to the absorption of certain fields that were operated by Private corporations that left Ecuador in November of that year, in light of changes in contract modalities implemented by the National Government. 250 OIL PRODUCTION Millions of barrels, Priv.

21 As of 2007, the Services and Income Balances with regard to GDP decreased as a result of a decline in Worker Remittances received.

Exclusion of remittance inflows, the deficit of the Current Account would increase 3% of GDP.

23 In the last three years, the result of the Current Account is explained mainly by the performance of the Goods and Services and Income Balances. In 2013, the Current Account deficit was USD -1,232 million, which was determined mainly by the negative result of the Balance of Goods in the amount of USD -630 million, and by the increase in the Services and Income Balances deficit (USD -185 million) CURRENT ACCOUNT AND ITS COMPONENTS Millions of USD, Remittances received Services and Income Goods (Registered Trade) Current Account Source: BCE. 23
