"Our idea is to keep the engines running from this year so that there is no reason for our economy to stop, despite the electoral cycle. Therefore, the economic sector has proven to be very resilient and is in a position to continue in this dynamic," Salardi explained on April 2.
The government official noted that indicators observed in early 2025 suggest a positive year ahead.
"Our challenge will be to maintain this pace throughout the year, and we will do everything possible to achieve 4% growth in 2025," Salardi stated.
As support, he mentioned that public investment is on track to reach a record annual execution, surpassing 2024's achievements.
The
Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) reported that public investment reached a historic quarterly milestone of S/11.233 billion (US$3.063 billion) between January and March 2025, an 18% increase over the same period last year.
Speaking before business leaders convened by Canal B, the minister added that the MEF is promoting public-private investments totaling US$70 billion between 2025 and 2026.
This includes a portfolio of projects in sanitation, healthcare, tourism, electricity transmission, telecommunications, as well as the enhancement of road, port, and airport infrastructure.
Similarly, the development of large irrigation projects in the north and south of the country (Alto Piura, Chinecas, and Chavimochic III - Majes Siguas II) is being promoted, which will expand the agricultural frontier and consolidate the agroindustry.
Salardi added that actions are being taken to harness renewable resources aimed at renewing the country's energy matrix, with the development of 29 generation projects worth US$2.742 billion through 2028.
