The Minister of Economy and Finance, Alex Contreras, said that Peru’s economic activity would grow by 3% between August and December this year.
“July already shows better results, and August also, and the idea is to converge quickly because we expect a growth of 3% between August and December,” Contreras said.
“Additional measures are coming to continue boosting economic growth; some will seek the recovery of construction activity and continue to restore private sector confidence,” he added.
“In the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), we have taken measures since we took office, since December 2022, and we will continue working in that line to accelerate the recovery of the economy, which implies the recovery of employment and the living conditions of citizens,” Peru’s Minister of Economy and Finance said.
The minister emphasized that the government is committed to private investment, economic growth, and the sustainable recovery of income.
“The decline in private investment is being reversed, and we expect it to continue to improve in this environment of recovering confidence,” he said.
