The Minister of Economy, Pablo Arosemena, said that the issues on which the Government was working to issue strong decrees were related to the stock market, fiscal sustainability, but also those related to making life easier for entrepreneurs.

“These are issues that we have worked on together with different government portfolios, such as the Ministry of Production and the Tax Administration (SRI). this enables us to have strong legal provisions,” he said in a radio interview.

The minister reminded “that what we are presenting in some way we already presented two years ago, that matter with the stock market was also in the bill that was sent two years ago, so the Assembly was very stingy with the Ecuadorians and that it was a mistake to this is a created institution, it should not be repeated.”

Now the Constitutional Court is the body that must analyze and approve or disapprove every decree-law issued by President Guillermo Lasso, after the application of the cross-death mechanism that dissolved the National Assembly and entered the process of early elections to elect a new president and a new assemblyman.

Until the appointment of the Assembly, the president can – with the favorable opinion of the Constitutional Court – issue decrees on economic emergency laws that the legislative body can approve or repeal, Article 148 of the Constitution states.

Since May 17, when the cross of death was placed, the Government sent two decrees to the Constitutional Court: Organic law for strengthening the family economy, which includes tax reform. And the Decree on the reform organic law for attracting and promoting investments for productive development dealing with free zones. These two proposals will be discussed at public hearings next week, June 6 and 8.

Therefore, it is estimated that five decrees of the law will be sent from the Government.
