The economic results obtained in 2024 are the starting point for the country's consolidation and sustainable growth, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) highlighted.

"In 2025, our commitment remains intact. We will continue with measures to consolidate economic recovery and growth, job creation, and poverty reduction in Peru. The MEF keeps the doors open to dialogue," it stated via X on Thursday evening.

According to this statement, the results obtained in 2024 demonstrate a trend towards the consolidation and sustainability of our economic growth.

"This is not free; this exercise has demanded a joint effort by the private sector and the Government, with ongoing concern for maintaining the conditions necessary to return to the growth path," the MEF explained.

"The historic milestone achieved in public investment last year (S/57.742 billion = US$15.365 billion), which boosted the economy, was joined by the agricultural export drive that generated a US$2 billion trade surplus and a 2.5% growth in private investment -achievements that, along with controlled inflation, a stable exchange rate, and a solid legal framework, led to a GDP expansion estimated to reach 3.2%," it detailed. 

In this regard, the communiqué noted that "for this year, the administration led by the President of the Republic Dina Boluarte, reiterates its commitment to continue adopting economic measures which consolidate our position on the path to recovery, growth, job creation, and poverty reduction."

Finally, it reaffirmed that the MEF is an advocate for dialogue and permanent spaces for engagement with all actors in our economy in order to achieve development goals that benefit all Peruvians.
