The Peruvian economy's recovery is already a reality based on production indicators that will favor a GDP growth in the order of 10% in 2021,
In this sense, Alva said that —without an economic plan— the national GDP would fall 20% in 2020.
Likewise, she stated that the
economy will continue to recover based on three key factors: the boost to demand, capital stock, as well as to competitiveness and productivity.
Minister Alva also pointed out that two dynamics are witnessed in 2020.
"In the second half, we see another dynamic; it is a recovery driven by
primary sectors that will reach levels similar to those registered before the COVID-19 pandemic broke up (...)," she added.
Lastly, she ruled out a tax increase in 2021.
