Peruvian
Economy and Finance Minister Kurt Burneo met with leaders of business associations, to whom he reiterated the aim of his sector: to create necessary conditions to promote private investment in the country.
Burneo explained the general lines of work to be undertaken during his leadership of the
Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), noting that he will shortly present a short-term plan summarizing the objectives and actions to be taken —in terms of economic policy— in order to achieve economic revival.
"I think we can give clear signals in the very short term. It is important that we are able to unblock public investment and give it a greater impetus, because that will also invigorate private investment," he remarked.
"Macroeconomic stability and the recovery of confidence are necessary conditions, although not sufficient. We also need to separate politics from the economy," the minister added.
During the activity, which took place on Tuesday, Burneo was accompanied by Deputy Economy Minister Alex Contreras.
Moreover, the meeting saw the presence of the heads of the National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (Confiep), the National Society of Industries (SNI), the Association of Peruvian Exporters (Adex), the National Society of Mining, Oil, and Energy (SNMPE), and the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL).
Also attending were the heads of Comex Peru, the Peruvian Hydrocarbons Society (SPH), the Association of Peruvian Farming Producers (AGAP), the National Fisheries Society (SNP), the Association for the Promotion of National Infrastructure (AFIN), the National Chamber of Tourism (Canatur), and the Peruvian Association of Renewable Energies.
During the meeting, he affirmed that his sector will seek a greater rapprochement with the
Central Reserve Bank (BCR), with which coordination efforts have been initiated in order to face the external effects of the international situation in the country, by articulating monetary and fiscal policy actions.
