Ecuador Time (ECT), as named by the IANA time zone database, is the time observed in mainland Ecuador since 1931. Ecuador Time is at UTC-05:00[1] and has no daylight saving, except for a brief period from late 1992 to early 1993 during the government of president Sixto Durán Ballén.[2] Galápagos Province observed Ecuador Time until 1986, when it switched to Galápagos Time (GALT), at UTC-06:00.[1]
