ECUADOR: Lasso promises to slash taxes, create jobs
The leading opposition presidential candidate ahead of general elections next February, Guillermo Lasso, set out his economic stall this week. Lasso, a former banker who is running for the centre-right Movimiento Creo (Creando Oportunidades), said that he would take Ecuador into the Pacific Alliance trade bloc with Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru (and presumably out of the Venezuela-led regional bloc Alianza Bolivariana para los Pueblos de Nuestra América [Alba]).
