REUTERS/Santiago ArcosQUITO - Business heir Daniel Noboa will have 17 months to revive Ecuador's battered economy and tackle rising crime after winning the country's presidential election on Sunday.
Noboa has pledged to attract foreign investors and create jobs for young people, but has also said he will balance meeting foreign debt obligations with the needs of the population.Noboa has said he will tackle sharply rising crime with a new intelligence unit, tactical weapons for security forces, prison ships to house the country's most dangerous convicts and a beefed up presence at ports and airports, hot spots for drug smuggling.
He will be delighted to see Noboa at the presidential palace on Tuesday, Lasso said on social media late on Sunday.
