The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo met with a delegation from the National Society of Industries (SNI) at the Government Palace in Lima on Friday evening.

"The Government continues to bet on private investment as a fundamental part of the economy. Get rid of the ghosts which suggest that we scare investment away," Mr. Castillo affirmed during the work meeting with the SNI Chairman and guild representatives.

The event had the purpose of coordinating actions that enable the country to continue growing in a sustained manner.

Among the issues addressed at the meeting were: eight proposals to dynamize Peru's economy and raise growth levels; the implementation of targeted subsidy programs; the consolidation of a stable investment climate; as well as the strengthening of public and private institutions.

Similarly, the business delegation presented to the Head of State sectoral proposals aimed at increasing the competitiveness of nine key sectors; development projections with diversification and job creation established in the book called "Peru Agenda Towards 2031" —the same which was presented to Mr. Castillo.

On this occasion, the top official was joined by Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister Roberto Sanchez; SNI Chairman Jesus Salazar; First Vice-Chairman Felipe James; Second Vice-Chairman Roman Miu; General Manager Oswaldo Garcia; and former Chairman of said guild Roberto Nesta.

In statements to the press, the current SNI Chairman revealed that President Castillo had showed willingness to articulate efforts with business guilds in order to raise investment levels in Peru to generate better working and living conditions for all citizens.
