The Minister of Economy and Finance, Denisse Miralles, stated today that the Peruvian government is seeking to create conditions to expedite investments by large companies, as well as small businesses.
"We are very strong with our debureaucratization initiative. We want to create these conditions so that not only can large private companies expedite their investments, but also so that small business owners can face fewer obstacles in starting and continuing their businesses," she said on Canal N.
"We believe that the State has grown too large and needs to be simplified so that, for example, tax payments are easier and we can have more revenue to finance all the needs we have at the national level," she added.

Denisse Miralles stated that there are good prospects for the Peruvian economy this year, considering that there will be elections in 2026.
“These conditions with which we closed the year (2025) are very promising and allow us to have good prospects. However, we must also be clear that 2026 is a complex year in which two elections will take place simultaneously,” Minister Miralles said.
“It is a political year in which some dissenting voices will surely emerge, but we can convene the political forces to generate that minimum platform of fiscally responsible behavior,” she added.
2025 was a positive year
The minister highlighted that 2025 was a very positive year for Peru, mainly due to the high level of mineral prices, which allowed the country to meet its growth target.
“I also want to highlight the efforts of the current government, which in just two and a half months, for example, has significantly reduced excessive government spending. We have had record tax revenue, exceeding last year's total by 10%,” she stated.
“This gives us considerable room to move closer to meeting our fiscal and growth targets. Furthermore, we are keeping inflation within expected levels. Obviously, this is managed by the Central Reserve Bank, which provides us with macroeconomic stability that has been ratified by international rating agencies, and Peru has maintained its investment grade rating for 17 consecutive years,” she explained.
On another note, Minister Denisse Miralles highlighted the establishment of the Fiscal Agreement for Sustainable Growth, a government initiative that brings together various sectors.
“The Fiscal Agreement for Sustainable Growth will begin meeting next week with some goals and lines of work that we have designed to establish a minimum framework that will ensure Peruvians can continue to maintain fiscal discipline in the next administration,” she stated.
