WASHINGTON, DC April 16, 2026 – The World Bank Group today recognized the Central Bank of Ecuador for joining the Reserve Advisory & Management Partnership (RAMP), underscoring continued growth in demand for advanced public asset management advisory services across Latin America. Ecuador’s membership comes as RAMP marks its 25th anniversary, a milestone year reflecting the partnership’s long-standing role in supporting central banks and public institutions worldwide.

Ecuador’s membership further strengthens RAMP’s regional engagement as central banks across Latin America seek to enhance institutional capacity, governance, and resilience amid an uncertain global financial environment.

As global participation continues to expand, RAMP has reached a record 95 members, underscoring the scale and trust of its advisory and asset management platform.

Through its RAMP membership, the Central Bank of Ecuador gains access to the World Bank Group’s advisory services, executive training, and asset management expertise, while joining a global network of public asset managers committed to sound reserve and public asset management practices. Representatives of the Central Bank of Ecuador and the World Bank Group recognized the joining at a ceremony in Washington, DC, commemorating the first phase of a long-term collaboration.

“We are pleased to welcome the Central Bank of Ecuador to the RAMP community,” said Jorge Familiar, World Bank Group Vice President & Treasurer. “As RAMP celebrates 25 years, the continued growth of our membership in Latin America—and the overall record level of members in the Partnership—reflects the value that central banks place on practical, long-term partnerships to strengthen reserve management and institutional resilience.”

“Joining World Bank Group RAMP represents an important step for the Central Bank of Ecuador as we continue to strengthen our reserve management practices in line with international standards,” said Gustavo Camacho, President, Financial and Monetary Policy and Regulation Board. “This partnership will support our ongoing efforts to enhance institutional capacity, deepen technical expertise, and contribute to financial resilience.”
