on Wednesday reported that —as at January 28, 2020— public investment totaled S/663.11 million (about US$198.83 million), which represented a nominal growth of 22.5% if compared to the entire amount executed in January 2019 (S/541.53 million = about US$162.379 million).
According to MEF, the government level that recorded the highest spending was composed of municipalities, since it went from S/36.01 million (about US$10.799 million) to S/206.45 million (about US$61.906 million) until last Tuesday. Thus, it will close January with an expansion greater than 470%.
To date, the execution recorded by
regional governments reached S/116.79 million (about US$35.020 million), still below the S/159.09 million (about US$47.705 million) that was executed in the entire first month of 2019.
Within this framework, national government spending amounted to S/339.85 million (about US$101.906 million), less than the S/346.42 million (about US$103.874 million) invested in January 2019.
It should be noted that regions and the national government have a couple days left until January 31, 2020, to increase their investment levels and thus surpass the amount recorded in the first month of last year.
