Abstract

The analysis of the influence of fiscal policies in attracting foreign investment was based on the observation and comparison of specific cases in China, Mexico and Ecuador. The importance of tax incentives, legal stability and tax management were highlighted as key factors in creating a favorable environment for investment. The identification of an inverse relationship between Foreign Exchange Outflow Tax revenues and investment flows provided concrete evidence of investor sensitivity to tax changes. In addition, it was argued that political instability and frequent changes in fiscal policies represent obstacles to Ecuador's competitiveness. Consequently, it was concluded that clear, stable and transparent fiscal policies, supported by international cooperation, are essential to promote foreign investment and improve Ecuador's position in the world.
