Abstract

This investigation tried to develop a risk analysis through the application of the CAMELS method in the five largest banks in Ecuador, selected under the criteria of assets, liabilities, equity, liquidity funds and financial profits, allowing a monitoring of the entities of control and institutions to make timely decisions and measures to avoid possible financial imbalances, reduce risk and uncertainty in the markets and thus strengthen public confidence. The approach used is quantitative, under a phenomenological and empirical methodology, where a database of the Superintendency of Banks of Ecuador was used, on the indicators: capital (C), asset quality (A), governance (M), profitability (E), liquidity (L) and market risk (S), managing to establish a good positioning of the financial entities under study. The best positioned institutions were Pichincha, Internacional and Bolivarian, which showed a high rating, being Optimum (A) and Above Expected (B); in comparison to Banco del Pacífico and Guayaquil, which showed a rating within what was expected (C) and below what was expected (D).
