Thanks for the post. I've been following events in Bolivia and am less informed about Ecuador. I know Bolivia uses the U.S. dollar as its official currency. Is Correa going to try to change this?
Correa did state during the campaign that he intended to move Ecuador's currency away from the U.S. dollar, but then he supposedly changed his mind. I know he wants to support Chavez's idea for a South American currency, but near the end of the campaign he changed his stance on "dollarization."

And if you are following events in Bolivia I would like to ping you when I post on that country. I'm especially interested in following the
dos tercios issue in the Constituent Assembly and whether the Cruceños and
Media Luna are going to succeed in achieving autonomy.
You can see some of our Bolivian discussions below:
