Abstract

The social and solidarity economy is composed of those components that organize the processes of production individually and collectively. They are developed to be in line with the financing and consumption of goods and services. The goal is to satisfy the necessities generating incomes. Due to this, the EPS is an intermediary between the Solidarity Economy and the Social Economy according to the logic norms which are immerse in the common good. Because of this, a capital could be accumulated according to the humans' needs and requirements, as well as the accumulation of the heritage can exist. All of this must be integrated in the Mixed Economy system. It includes the three fundamental areas: the capitalist, public sector and business sector. The financial institutions of the EPS in Ecuador have an economic greater impact in the country. This is largely due to the first level activities which are money lending with interests according to the law. Secondly, it is the purchase of landed property. It leads to the thought that an outstanding management of the micro and macro finances is the main instrument to fight against high levels of poverty. It leads to counter the fluidity and liquidity directly and indirectly. The current Constitution of Ecuador has restructured the financial sector including the Social and Solidarity Economy. It schedules the new schemes for the proposal and performance of the different sectors including the financial entities, as an important part to manage the economic resources of the population. Due to this, this study is focused on the features of the sectors that are part the EPS. It allows to recognize these organizations' characteristics and activities.
