Peru: Private investment doing well as expected

08:00 | Lima, Sep. 14.

Private investment in Peru is doing well and performs as expected, the Central Reserve Bank has reported.

It must be noted BCR projected —in the June 2019 Inflation Report— that private investment will expand 3.8% this year. 

In this sense, BCR's Economic Studies Central Manager Adrian Armas confirmed his estimate that Peruvian economy's performance will improve in August compared to July. 

Business expectations 

On the other hand, he stressed that business expectations have deteriorated due to external and internal factors. However, they are waiting for a recovery in order not to affect future investment decisions. 

In this sense, Armas stated BCR currently monitors the performance of public investment for future projections. 

"The Central Bank expects a recovery in public investment, but for this to happen, a series of factors, such as the performance of subnational governments, must be put in place," he added.
