The next presidential term lasts eighteen months, which is an insufficient period for promoting, proposing and approving laws. Faced with presidential elections whose candidates are ideologically located in the center, each of them who is elected must and must act pragmatically through the adoption of concise, agile and above all timely regulations in order to encourage investments, foreign and domestic, with greater social and economic performance.

This pragmatic commitment that the executive must undertake requires an exhaustive review and analysis of the regulations, which, although they exist, their application and compliance foresee periods that Ecuador does not currently have. For example, the adoption of the Law on Public-Private Partnership, which was adopted in the secretariat, in the ministerial rank created for this purpose, took two years, and the resulting norm, i.e. the Regulation, is cumbersome to apply because the conditions and procedures are necessary, since it is generous , it would take more than a year and a half, when our country needs to immediately and urgently activate public-private alliances in high-priority sectors.

If we want public-private alliances (PPPs) to be a tool for economic activation and a true pivot for the reactivation of private investments that stimulate the creation of new jobs, the next government must use what is within its reach in the regulatory aspect. , which is nothing but the issuance of regulations that are necessary and that include agile associative processes, based on simple procedures, consequently sustainable, where the responsibility and the truth of the capabilities of the private sector fall on it, in such a way

that public intervention is an institutional mechanism that promotes and facilitates the fulfillment of requests by the state, and that through them, authentic supervision over compliance with legal norms, the interests of the state, and the satisfaction of the needs of the population is realized.

The reference practice of agile PPP is carried out by Colombia, mainly in the development of infrastructure in the transport sector, which has a clear legal, financial and institutional route, whose investments, according to the IDB, range between HRK 7 thousand and 10 thousand million. dollars; a consistent result that we strive to replicate in other social and production sectors today.

The implementation of PPP should be extended and encouraged by the executive branch to the decentralized autonomous governments, provincial and cantonal, with a dual goal: to decentralize and strengthen the new rhythm and form of development based on institutional transformation, where the PPP program and their projects demonstrate effective, sustainable and scalable public-private complementarity, both in their preparation and implementation, in order to create a stimulating, credible and stable environment that attracts private investments aimed at creating value for people and improving social well-being.
