The head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Alex Contreras, highlighted that the constant political crisis that the country is going through has affected economic growth. However, he indicated that the current administration is carrying out proposals to boost private investment and address infrastructure gaps.
“We want to recover this capacity for growth that Peru has had in recent years, unfortunately andThe political context has not helped, it has been something that has taken away. I believe that with the ability to generate consensus, with the reforms that we are proposing, we will be able to reverse this situation,” he said this Tuesday, November 28, during his presentation at the Americas Society/Council of the Americas (AS/COA) event.
Contreras also pointed out that during the year they have sought to establish a countercyclical fiscal policy, for which 13 laws have been approved in order to improve the environment for private investment.
“From the beginning we knew that the year was going to be a challenging year“The great challenge of this administration is to reverse a slowdown that is more than a decade old and that worsened as a result of political problems and conflicts,” he added.
Likewise, he reiterated that mining is one of the sectors that is driving the economy the most, but those non-miners are also showing progress, thus highlighting that they also seek to recover the US$20,000 million that left Peru in 2021 and 2022 after the loss of trust.
