Peru Gov't offers conditions to secure private investment's continuity and growth

14:41 | Cañete (Lima region), May. 3.

The Government provides all necessary conditions to ensure private investment's continuity and growth in Peru, President Martin Vizcarra affirmed on Thursday.

Speaking from Chilca district in Cañete province —where he recently opened Termochilca Combined Cycle Plant— the statesman emphasized that foreign investors are interested in Peru because they trust its political-legal stability and —especially— its people.

"We, the Government, provide all the necessary conditions for private investment to continue, not only as it occurred over recent years, but experiencing growth," the Head of State pointed out.

Joined by Ministers Francisco Ismodes (Energy and Mines) and Silvia Pessah (Health), Vizcarra highlighted Peru receives private investment successfully, and proof of this is the plant implementation in Chilca.

In his short speech at the official event, the dignitary recalled that one of the Government's goals is to recapture the pace of growth to annual rates of at least 5%, thus resulting in social projects, plus improvements in health, education, and basic services.

"We have set our goals hoping that private investment will increase significantly. This power station was opened thanks to private investment (…)," he stated.

Likewise, Vizcarra underscored the fact that the country's Parliament granted a confidence vote to Cesar Villanueva's Cabinet, and believes that such support is important because it will help implement the work plan presented by the Prime Minister.

He also welcomed political forces' efforts to reach the common objective of seeing progress, growth, and improvement in citizens' life quality.
