Pedro Francke: “The economy is 3% above pre-pandemic levels”

The Minister of Economy, Pedro Francke, reported that the Peruvian economy grew 3% above pre-pandemic levels, according to data as of September this year.

“The GDP has continued to recover, we see all the variations compared to 2019, the huge fall that was one of the largest in the entire continent with the quarantine. But we have recovered quickly and today we are 3% above our pre-pandemic level. This is quite significant, we have recovered and we are growing ”, explained Francke during his presentation at CADE Executives 2021.

The head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) also pointed out that within the balance sheets that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has made, Peru is the second country in Latin America that has recovered the most.

“However, although we have recovered, the trend would indicate that we should be above; that is, we still have a product gap to recover, “said the official.
