Segura expressed concern about the actions of Congress and the permissiveness of the MEF. Regarding the consumption pension approved in the pension reform, he affirms that this proposal does not exist anywhere in the world.
The new president of the Fiscal Council, Alonso Segura stated that “the economic plan of the Government of Dina Boluarte is not clear”, during an interview on Canal N. He also pointed out that there are no consistent measures in the medium term.
Along these lines, he urged that the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) observe the signatures of the corresponding laws and return them to Congress for a deeper discussion and a more diligent quantification, thus avoiding the waste of public resources.
Regarding the consumption pension contemplated in the reform of the pension system – approved in the second vote with the support of only 38 parliamentarians – Segura pointed out that this proposal does not exist anywhere in the world. “They are anti-technical measures that can cost billions of soles a year,” he explained.
In that case, he stressed the importance and responsibility of the task that the Executive should have to observe it because there would be unconstitutional spending initiatives. “We all want better pensions, greater coverage, but respecting the stability of public accounts,” he stated.
It is important to remember that the Fiscal Council – previously chaired by Carlos Oliva – is an autonomous body that ensures the transparency and institutionality of public finances. Faced with this, Segura expressed his concern about the actions of Congress and the permissiveness of the MEF, which also wants to modify the trajectory of fiscal accounts.
