Currency Change in Ecuador?

I just read a post...Correa is in favor of a currency change in Ecuador...

What currency do you think Ecuador would adopt?  The article seems to indicate that Correa is in favor of Ecuador's own currency.

As an Ecuadorian lawmaker said last summer, the temptation to issue a new currency rather can curb spending may be too much to resist.

However, it defies logic to think that the tea leaves can be read with any chance for accuracy before the complementary electronic currency is introduced, integrated into EC society and evaluated over time.

If there is a new currency down the road, it will probably be one as yet unnamed, because adopting any currency already existing in the world would not give El Supremo the flexibility he wants to maintain EC spending.  Spending, which, by the way, many observers consider was long overdue when Correa assumed power eight years ago, and which has improved many lives.
