The 50% reduction in remuneration will no longer apply to Vice Ministers of State.
Through Executive Decree 1118, signed by President Lenín Moreno, this Wednesday, August 5, Decrees 1041 and 1048 were amended, which provided for the reduction of half the salary of the President, Vice President, Ministers and Vice Ministers from 8 May 2020 to May 24, 2021.
The measure will no longer apply to Vice Ministers, so the text of the new Decree no longer includes them on the list.
According to one media outlet, the State would save USD 102.868 per month, by cutting 50% of the salary of the authorities of the four hierarchical levels.

The 1119 in which he named Tangya del Carmen Tandazo Arias as the president’s delegate to the Council for the Quality Assurance of Higher Education (Caces); and 1120 with which it authorized, on an exceptional basis, the delegation to the private sector of the project: «Design, Financing, Construction, Operation and Maintenance of the Cumbe-Cuenca corridor (South Access to Cuenca) -Azogues-Biblián».
