Peru PM: Executive Branch to speed up investments

14:36 | Lima, Apr. 16.

The Peruvian Government is working intensively to speed up investments with efficiency and openness, Prime Minister Cesar Villanueva affirmed Monday.

"We are going to increase the investment speed. We are working hard on that, day and night, including holidays (…)," the government official noted.

According to Villanueva, the Executive Branch seeks to totally redesign timelines for investments in order to turn them into more dynamic "with efficiency and openness."

"That means speed does not imply losing the efficiency during the implementation, and much less the openness," the official underlined.

"That's why we are coordinating with all the actors involved in this huge task," he added.

Villanueva also pointed out he and President Martin Vizcarra are working to ensure continuity of on-going regional projects.

Likewise, he stated the Government is trying to reduce the current spending to increase investment levels.

Remarks were made at an extraordinary session of GORE-Executive (Executive Branch and Regional Governors Meeting) held at Lima's Government Palace.

The two-day meeting, which features Peruvian ministers and regional governors, is aimed to spur actions that will encourage further development in the nation.
