The creation of macro-regions, taking into account the geographical proximity and the connection at the level of economic corridors of the country’s departments, would generate around 3.2 million direct formal jobs by 2031. A) Yes, the figure would go from seven million in 2021 to 10.2 million jobs in the next nine yearsaccording to Jesús Salazar Nichi, president of the National Society of Industries (SNI).
According to Salazar, by implementing a series of strategies in each zone, more than 500,000 jobs in the construction sector, more than 700,000 in tourism and gastronomy, more than 300,000 in information and communication technologies, and more than two million in MSMEs, among others.

Another contribution of the creation of macro-regions would be the increase in the contribution of the industrial sector to the national GDP. “If investments estimated at more than US$70,000 million are promoted in the nine prioritized sectors, the national industry could contribute 18% of the national GDP,” Salazar commented during the presentation of the book “Perú Regiones al 2031″.
In detail, currently Lima contributes 42.8% to the national GDP and 59.4% of the industrial GDP, the central macro-region 11.3% to the national and 10% to the industrial, while the South adds 15.3% and 12.8% to each one; North, 19.3% and 15.7%; in the case of the Oriente macro-region, they only represent 2.6% of the national GDP and 2.1% of the industrial GDP.
