Ecuador Economic Outlook
September 12, 2017
The economy resumed its upward trajectory in June to close the second quarter on a high note. The Central Bank’s economic activity indicator jumped in June after two consecutive months of sub-par growth. Together with increasing consumer and business confidence, the economic upswing is likely to have carried over into the third quarter. However, political turmoil continues to plague the country’s short-term economic prospects. Newly-installed president Lenín Moreno has shown a remarkable degree of autonomy in the early days of his term, to the point of engaging in a war of words with his predecessor Rafael Correa. Moreno has been encouraging investigators to look into corruption allegations against the previous government, and Vice-President Jorge Glas was already stripped of his powers last month because of his alleged involvement in the Odebrecht scandal.Ecuador Economy Data
