highlighted that Peru's economic growth potential is between 5% and 6% annually, driven by the country's wealth across its regions. He added that investments will be boosted through a confidence shock.
Along with other measures to be implemented in the coming weeks, the government official hopes to restore the path to faster growth that Peru has the potential to achieve.
"Last year was a good year; there was an economic recovery, and we (Peru's economy) grew by 3.3%. However, I believe the potential is there to reach levels of 5% or 6%, as one can see region by region the country's wealth and existing potential," he underlined.
In this regard, the Cabinet member stated that efforts will be made to work jointly with all sectors of the country, in a fully open management approach based on dialogue, proposals, and constant interaction with various stakeholders.
The minister noted that the Peruvian economy is already showing organic growth and expects growth levels this year similar to those reached in 2024.
"But the idea is to deliver a confidence boost, further encourage investments, and seek to drive growth to higher levels," Salardi emphasized in remarks to RPP Noticias.
"We will see how the economy responds in the coming months in that regard. Yes, we need to work hard. We also need to manage (affairs) effectively," he added.
Likewise, the government official emphasized the importance of returning to the fiscal rule and helping to stimulate economic growth drivers.
Thus, Salardi hopes to end the year with an economy that is "growing well and with balanced fiscal accounts."
"I believe it will be an interesting transition to the next government, and next year could also be quite promising in terms of growth," he pointed out.
