The results of a set of indicators measured as of March 2025 suggest that positive figures will be obtained in the national economy in the coming months,
Among the indicators that showed favorable development are business expectations and the Central Government's tax revenues.
"We are seeing good numbers in March; it seems an important growth rate is ahead, which we will learn about in the coming weeks," he emphasized.
However, preliminary progress suggests that the recovery will continue, in line with the 4% growth forecast for 2025 by the MEF.
Among the
indicators highlighted by Minister Salardi are those obtained through the Macroeconomic Expectations Survey conducted by the Central Reserve Bank (BCR) in March 2025, which showed that business opinions remain favorable for the tenth consecutive month.
The aforementioned survey revealed that all 12 business expectation indicators for both 3 and 12 months have remained in the optimistic range for 10 consecutive months.
These indicators are: expectations regarding the economy, sector, their company's situation, demand for their products, personnel hiring, and company investment.
"This result reflects businesspeople's confidence in the growth of the Peruvian economy," Salardi emphasized.
Additionally, in March 2025, the investment and hiring expectations indicators reached historic highs not seen in over a decade.
For example, expectations for company investment over three months reached 60.9 points, the highest level on record (since July 2013).
Similarly, expectations for hiring personnel over three months improved to 56.3 points, the highest level in more than 11 years (since February 2014), and over 12 months increased to 63.7 points, the highest level on record (since July 2013).
Expectations for the economy over 12 months recorded 58.1 points, remaining in the optimistic range for 16 consecutive months.
"It is noteworthy that business confidence remains optimistic in March in a scenario where the Government reaffirms its commitment to promoting an environment conducive to investment, sustained growth, and job creation," the minister stated.
Within this framework, Salardi mentioned that various measures are being implemented to reduce bureaucracy and streamline administrative processes, with the goal of facilitating private investment and strengthening economic stability, which are key pillars for the country's development.
It should be noted that the indicators measured over three months remained in the optimistic range in February, rising from 52.6 points to 54.5 points compared to the previous month.
Meanwhile, expectations for the economy over a 12-month horizon reached 60.7 points.
