It should be noted that the list does not in every case include all alternative names applying to the same institution.

  • Central Bank of Ecuador, 1927: Among Dictatorship, Revolution and Crisis
    Volume 2, Number 1, 128-173, January-June 2017 doi: 10.1344/jesb2017.1.j025 Cristian Paúl Naranjo Navas Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo (Ecuador) Central Bank of Ecuador, 1927: among Dictatorship, Revolution and Crisis Abstract On July 9th, 1925, a coup d’état overthrew the Ecuadorian government of the president Gonzalo S. Córdova. The Military Junta chose the new president, Dr. Isidro Ayora, who founded the Central Bank of Ecuador in 1927. The majority of historians emphasize the patriotic spirit of the military forces in order to eliminate the influence of private banks. Nonetheless, there is a less popular view of the process known as the Julian Revolution, which understands the coup d’état, and the foundation of the Central Bank of Ecuador, as the result of struggles between bankers due to controversies around currency emissions. The arguments behind the Julian Revolution were based on some economic facts. Even though real GDP did not decrease in any year from 1913 to 1927, there was a generalized perception of a critical economy due to the constant fluctuation in prices, the increasing of fiscal deficit, and the reduction of revenues from the trade balance. This article proposes two hypotheses: first, the economic crisis was not an isolated case in Latin America, on the contrary, it was part of a regional trend; second, the economic crisis only affected the urban areas, which account for less than half of the total population.
