Rafael Vicente Correa Delgado (Spanish pronunciation: [rafaˈel βi


ˈsente koˈre.a ðelˈɣaðo]; born 6 April 1963) is an Ecuadorian
politician and economist who served as President of Ecuador from
2007 to 2017. The leader of the PAIS Alliance political movement
from its foundation until 2017, Correa is a democratic socialist and
his administration focused on the implementation of left-
wing policies. Internationally, he served as president pro tempore of
the UNASUR.
Born to a lower middle-class mestizo family in Guayaquil, Correa
studied economics at the Universidad Católica de Santiago de
Guayaquil, the University of Louvain (UCLouvain), and
the University of Illinois, where he received his PhD. Returning to
Ecuador, in 2005 he became the Minister for the Economy under
President Alfredo Palacio, successfully lobbying Congress for
increased spending on health and education projects.
Correa won the presidency in the 2006 general election on a
platform criticizing the established political elites. Taking office in
January 2007, he sought to move away from
Ecuador's neoliberal economic model by reducing the influence of
the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. He oversaw the
introduction of a new constitution, being re-elected in 2009 and
again in the 2013 general election.
