Mirtha Vásquez: “I have not seen in the president any intention to change the Minister of Economy”

The prime minister, Mirtha Vásquez, last Tuesday ruled out that President Pedro Castillo is evaluating the change of the head of the Economy and Finance portfolio, Pedro Francke.

“I have not seen in the president any intention to change the Minister of Economy,” he said.

In that sense, Vásquez affirmed the position of the head of the MEF remains solid given the economic performance that the country has had in these months.

“The Ministry of Finance is one of the strongest positions at the moment because the data shows that our economy has performed well, despite the circumstances,” he said in dialogue with Bloomberg.

The statements of the president of the Council of Ministers come after in the last weeks of 2021 it transpired that the advisers to the head of state were looking for candidates to replace Francke in order to carry out a restructuring of the ministerial cabinet.
