indicated the Peruvian economy might have grown between 4% and 5% last June, compared to the same month in 2023, due to good results in leading indicators such as electricity consumption and tax payments.
The Cabinet member mentioned that June "is also doing well," driven by all leading indicators, such as electricity consumption, tax payments, General Sales Tax, and the volume of sales conducted via electronic means.
"Other colleagues and (forecasting) firms tell us that June is going well. We expect growth, perhaps not quite at 5%, but between 4% and 5%," Arista indicated.
"We hope that soon this variable will also move in the direction we would like, with the aim of reinvigorating the financial market, which has been a bit sluggish lately," he added.
Remarks were made during his participation at a press conference following the Council of Ministers session at the Lima-based Government Palace on Wednesday afternoon.
