Abstract

Abstract: The study "Analysis of the Economic and Financial Structure of the Province of Los Ríos, Babahoyo Canton, 2017 to 2022" evaluates the financial status of companies in this region. Using data from the Superintendency of Companies, Securities, and Insurance, it analyzes the evolution of assets, liabilities, equity, and key financial indicators. Findings show growth in assets and liabilities, indicating an expansion in operational and investment capacity. Large and medium-sized companies invested in long-term assets, while micro and small businesses faced challenges in liquidity and financing. Performance indicators, such as sales turnover, improved, indicating greater efficiency in generating income. Profitability, measured by ROA and ROE, showed a positive trend in large and medium-sized companies. Study limitations include variability in data quality and differences in the interpretation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The analysis provides a detailed understanding of the financial evolution of Babahoyo's companies, with implications for business management and the formulation of public policies.
