Similarly, he informed his discrepancy with the estimation of the fiscal cost made by the MEF.
“They have released a report that means S/1.7 billion. That amount is wrong. Let me tell me, although it is my colleague, that amount is very wrong, it is not an impact of that dimension, it is much lower. I invite MEF officials to support that amount, ”said Midagri head.

That is, around S/20,000 million that will stop raising between 2025 and 2035, while the measure is implemented.
