Round table on Ecuadorian economy 2019

The November 19 held a round table on issues and economic events in the country in the Multiple Use Room, attended by students from the last cycle of the Economics degree.

In the event, economists from the city of Cuenca were recognized as Andrés Mideros, former Secretary of Planning; Juan Carlos Urgirles, on behalf of credit unions and Wilma Salgado, former Finance Minister.

The forum ended with a call for a continuation of this round table that will take place the first week of December.

The invited authorities will be experts in topics as diverse as popular and solidarity economy, tax issues, among others.
