Economy and Finance Minister Denisse Miralles stated that the current administration is prioritizing durable and sustainable investments to hand over to the next government a stable country, supported by solid macroeconomic foundations and steady growth.

"We are governing with a long-term vision. Our duty is to ensure that the next government inherits a country prepared to continue growing, with monetary stability, fiscal sustainability, and investor confidence," she emphasized from Chiclayo, northern Peru. 

The government official mentioned that Peru has demonstrated an ability to preserve economic stability even amid complex political contexts, thanks to the strength of its macroeconomic fundamentals and the economic institutional framework built over decades.

From her position within the Cabinet, the minister reaffirmed the Executive Branch's full respect for democratic institutions, due process, and the decisions adopted by Congress of the Republic within the constitutional framework.

During her working visit to Chiclayo, the Cabinet member highlighted that Peru is projecting 3.2% economic growth in 2026, placing it among the region's most dynamic economies, above countries such as Colombia, Chile, and Brazil.

The minister noted that one of the current administration's main objectives is to ensure transparent elections and preserve economic stability.

"From the Executive Branch, we are fulfilling that responsibility, and we call on all political and social actors to uphold this commitment for the country's well-being," Miralles expressed.

"The country needs five consecutive years of responsible policies to lift growth above 3%. Our macroeconomic fundamentals are solid; with social and political stability, we could reach rates close to 5% and make a qualitative leap in development and job creation," she added.

The dignitary said that, in the remaining months of the administration, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) will focus its efforts on consolidating growth, accelerating strategic projects, as well as strengthening the execution of public and private investment.

In that regard, she stressed that it is essential for the electoral debate to focus on proposals that are technically sound and fiscally viable.

As part of her agenda, the minister is carrying out work activities in Chiclayo and in the province of Chepen (La Libertad region).

These efforts are aimed at boosting investment projects and strengthening coordination with local authorities, reaffirming the MEF's commitment to decentralized and sustainable development nationwide.
