"Ecuador - Presidential Election sees victory for pro-mining banker, Lasso in run-off for presidency
The victory of a pro-mining former banker, Guillermo Lasso in the run-off for Ecuador’s presidency is likely to be welcome news to mining companies operating in the country and to their investors. Mr. Lasso , who will assume the Presidency on 24th May defeated his opponent, Andres Arauz by a margin of 52.5% to 47.5% with Mr. Arauz conceding defeat overnight. Mr. Lasso is seen as keen to attract overseas investment, including from the mining industry which he has pointed out contributed 46% of direct foreign investment between 2017-20, to Ecuador as well as to stimulate the local growth of small businesses through tax incentives."
