stated on Monday that her government is laying the foundations so that, in the medium term, Peru will be established as the main logistics hub and coordinating center for trade routes in the South American Pacific
"I invite Indonesian companies to become users and invest in the future logistics, industrial, and technological hub of Peru's central coast, projected around the Chancay Megaport, the modernized Callao Port, the new Jorge Chavez Airport City, the future Industrial Park of Ancon, and the economic zones that may be established in the area," she stated from the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry headquarters in Jakarta.
Before Indonesia's business leaders and investors, the Head of State highlighted the launch in Peru of a deregulation shock, a strategy consisting of 402 measures aimed at promoting investment, increasing productivity, and eliminating the extra costs caused by excessive regulations that discourage private investment.
Likewise, the top official stated that this initiative seeks to strengthen competitiveness in the short and medium term by reducing regulatory burdens.
"In this entire context, I would like to invite Indonesian entrepreneurs to invest and do business in my country. Peru is a reliable and stable partner," Mrs. Boluarte underlined.
Afterwards, the President presented a portfolio of infrastructure investment projects, including railway projects and 22 irrigation projects, with an estimated investment worth over US$67 billion.
Furthermore, the Head of State highlighted Peru's high productive potential to contribute to global food security, reminding the audience that the South American country ranks among the world's top ten agricultural exporters.
"Peru is, without a doubt, an attractive destination and a reliable partner for investments and trade. We are ready to welcome Indonesian investments with open arms, providing legal certainty, macroeconomic discipline, stability, and commitment," she emphasized.
In that regard, the top official expressed Peru's interest in obtaining the Halal certification with the support of Indonesia. With this certification, Peruvian products will be able to enter new Muslim markets.
Moreover, the Head of State highlighted the strength of Peruvian macroeconomic policy, evidenced by an average 4.4% economic growth over the past 20 years, single-digit inflation rates, a stable exchange rate, and controlled interest rates.
Mrs. Boluarte also emphasized that the entry into force of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement will strengthen the trade relationship, which grew by 23% in 2024, consolidating Indonesia as Peru's sixth-largest trading partner in Asia.
"Our strong macroeconomic fundamentals reflect our commitment to maintaining economic growth and the country's openness to new investments, always guided by a criterion of social profitability," Mrs. Boluarte stated.
"That means seeking tangible benefits for the populations in the areas affected by each project, while also ensuring sustainability and respect for the environment," she added.
Also participating in the business meeting were the Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), Anindya Bakrie; the Deputy Minister of Indonesia's Ministry of Trade, Dyah Roro Esti Widya Putri; and Peru's Ministers of Foreign Trade and Tourism; Economy and Finance; Agrarian Development and Irrigation; and Foreign Affairs.
