In less than a month, Peru has started to write a new chapter of its democratic history with a new government offering hope and expectations, National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep) Chairman Martin Perez affirmed.
Peruvian economy’s most important advances involve growing at an annual average rate of 5.7% over the past years, being the second best rated sovereign in Latin America, and making private investment account for over 25% of GDP.
“Moreover, the country maintains solid and stable macroeconomic fundamentals, and our economy has joined the global arena with more than 50 trade agreements that enabled exports to increase five-fold,” he stated.
Governability and success
He is confident the country will have an active Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch will act responsibly over the next five years, providing Peru with the governability it requires to become a thriving nation.
“We need to continue with the things that have worked well, and change what needs to be changed,” he added.
According to Perez, the fact that Zavala’s Cabinet has been granted the vote of confidence offers a new opportunity to enhance democracy. “Our politicians have proven to be mature enough,” he added.
