The appointment of Dina Boluarte as president of Peru brought with it many protests demanding her departure. These mobilizations caused the bankruptcy of some 5,000 micro-enterprises in Arequipa.
As reported by the regional coordinator of Mypes Unit of Peru (MUP) in Arequipa, Abel Dongo, the impact of the social crisis was direct on the economy of microentrepreneurs due to the blockades.
The businessman indicated that, due to these mobilizations, a notorious investment uncertainty was generated in the private sector. For this reason, the sectors of graphic, textile, hotel, gastronomic and tourist industry They recorded more losses.
“According to the analysis of the MUP, at least the 50% of microentrepreneurs that have gone bankrupt did not start a business again, while the remaining percentage re-emerged in the informal sector”, he specified.
The also president of the Association of Graphic Mypes of Arequipa emphasized that to date the consequences of the sector are still visible, given that the sales rate they record is abnormal compared to previous years. “For example, the printers have a drop of 60%, many of our colleagues have gone bankrupt,” she concluded.
