In a radio interview from Guayaquil, the president and ADN candidate, Daniel Noboa, addressed key topics of his reelection agenda, including structural reforms to the Central Bank and the defense of dollarization. Additionally, he firmly criticized his opponent Luisa González, questioning her ideological ties and international stances.
Noboa warned about the use of so-called "ecuadollars," promoted by sectors of correísmo, as a threat to economic stability. He pointed out that this practice could generate an automatic devaluation and jeopardize the current monetary model, stating that "the single currency is not the same as the official currency."
During the interview, he reiterated his defense of dollarization, recalling that he mentioned it more than a dozen times in the last presidential debate. He criticized correísmo's attempts to control financial bodies, such as the Superintendency of Banks, which, he said, would be a setback for economic institutionalism.
Regarding the Central Bank, Noboa proposed a restructuring so that it functions as a technical and regulatory entity, not as a political tool. He emphasized that currently the BCE "blocks many things," and he committed to creating a board that would improve monetary regulation and ensure competitive interest rates.
