PERU
- The Ministry of Economy and Finance is aiming to attract $16bn in private investments between 2025 and 2026, through awards from the State-run Private Investment Promotion Agency, according to Deputy Economy Minister Carlos Gonzalez. In an announcement made during an interview with Radio Nacional, Gonzalez noted that over $2bn in projects have already been awarded to the private sector this year.
- Gonzalez also said that the ministry aims to repeat the record of $8bn in investments this year to sustain Peru's economic growth trajectory, according to the report in Andina. He added that the Ministry of Finance is working toward achieving annual economic growth rates above 5% or 6%, as these levels significantly impact the population's well-being. As a comparison, the BCRP expects the economy to grow 3.0% this year, following an estimated 3.2% expansion in 2024.
