No candidates have officially announced for this year's vote, but former Economic Minister Rafael Correa, a strong critic of the IMF, free trade and the United States, could be a contender. He may find himself up against another candidate inspired by the left-wing, nativist triumph of Evo Morales in Bolivia: Auki Tituana, the mayor of the Indian ecotourism enclave Cotacachi, not far from the capital of Quito.

He says that a $15 per bbl. increase in the price of oil 10 years ago, if sustained for a year, would have cut growth in Europe and the U.S. by about 1%. Now it amounts to a cut half that size.

...longer oil prices continue to climb, the greater the inflationary pressures will become. Rodrigo de Rato, the IMF's managing director, said last week that if high oil prices persist, "the impact on Asian growth will be considerable."
