BBC World Service - World Business Report, Ecuador: Business heir Daniel Noboa sworn in as president

Mr Noboa becomes the youngest ever president

His appointment follows a deadly election campaign, during which Fernando Villavicencio - an outspoken corruption critic - was assassinated.

35-year-old heir to a banana business empire Daniel Noboa has been sworn in as Ecuador’s new president, with a promise to create jobs and curb violence in a country gripped by a bloody drug war.

Mr Noboa holds a degree in business administration from New York University and three master’s degrees, from Harvard, Northwestern and George Washington universities. He intends to bring order to the country and stop the violence. However, it is not clear what economic reforms the new president is preparing.
