Ecuador Central Bank Chief Resigns, Exiting Post Early

Ecuador central bank chief Guillermo Avellán announced his resignation Tuesday, saying he would leave the job about a year before the end of his term to pursue other professional opportunities.

“After four and a half years at the central bank, the time has come to take on new professional challenges with the same commitment and responsibility,” Avellán, a 39-year-old economist close to former President Guillermo Lasso, said in a social media post.
