General Paco Moncayo is now candidate to the Presidency of Ecuador. He has blameless reputation in his management of public affairs. He is a moderate orator who gives the impression of patriotism, dedication and resourcefulness. The weakness of his candidacy appears to be his Economics. Ecuador is highly indebted, the price level is utterly excessive, the Government has lost most part of its main source of income besides taxes, namely Oil. Tariffs on imports are maddening high, public debt is sky high. There is 5% tax on capital exports, which makes capital imports practically impossible. General Moncayo will need great ingenuity to conceive the right economic strategy. The key to solving the mystery must be in getting most imports to be financed for a year or more by foreign Export Banks and other providers of export finance. So the import duties could be much lowered and the general price level could fall making life less expensive for everybody. The job of the Presidency will be at any rate extremely difficult. He is the most important representative of the city of Quito and its surrounding provinces. The country, for quite some time, has been ruled by populist men from Guayaquil, with rather questionable results. General Moncayo has the appropriate character to be President. |

Tariffs on imports are maddening high, public debt is sky high. There is 5% tax on capital exports, which makes capital imports practically impossible. General Moncayo will need great ingenuity to conceive the right economic strategy. The key to solving the mystery must be in getting most imports to be financed for a year or more by foreign Export Banks and other providers of export finance.
