- Ecuador’s National Assembly failed to overturn President Daniel Noboa’s veto on increasing the value-added tax (VAT)
- The veto established a VAT band between 13% and 15%, compared to the current 12%
- Opponents of the veto failed to reach the necessary two-thirds majority to block the changes to the bill
- The Finance Ministry estimates that the tax hike will provide $1b in revenue in 2024 and at least $1.3b annually going forward
