on Friday met with business associations at the Government Palace to strengthen efforts aimed at boosting economic growth for the population's benefit.
"We must continue doing what has benefited the country, keep adding to reach 5% growth, and add further points to GDP," Jeri stated during the meeting to coordinate the foreign trade and economic development agenda.
The Head of State said a higher level of coordination with business associations is needed to establish a clear timeline and roadmap that will allow for returning to a path of growth.
In this regard, he reaffirmed the Executive Branch's willingness to work jointly with the private sector on issues that can be resolved in the short term, while fostering the best possible conditions to ensure continued coordination with the next government.
The top official recalled that from the first day of his administration, he assumed the commitment to strengthen Peru's economy and its trade relations.
For their part, business associations agreed on the need to improve connectivity, airport infrastructure, and road networks, as well as on the prompt regulation of the Law on Private Special Economic Zones and the Agro-Export Law, among other measures.
Likewise, they said the country must maintain stability and free competition.
Attendees included Foreign Affairs Minister Hugo de Zela, Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister Teresa Mera, Congresswoman Ana Zegarra, and representatives from the Peruvian Exporters Association (ADEX), the National Chamber of Tourism (Canatur), and the National Chamber of Commerce, Production, Tourism, and Services (Perucamaras), the National Society of Industries (SNI), among others.
