In addition, 10 ministers were changed, among whom the new head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Oscar Graham, was sworn in, replacing Pedro Francke, who was in charge for seven months.
It should be noted that during January the Peruvian sol strengthened by 3.63%. However, at the close of trading yesterday, the market was cautiously awaiting the appointments of the head of the PCM and the MEF, according to experts.
