The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Monday announced the relaunch of the Compras a MyPeru program, as well as the launch of the second phase of the Con Punche Peru program, as a measure to promote economic reactivation and activities carried out by micro- and small-sized enterprises (MSEs).

"We will continue working tirelessly to ensure legal-political stability and social peace, and to restore confidence among national and foreign investors," she said at the inauguration of the MSE Week: "United we all win."

The Head of State underscored that the evidence of economic growth sends a message to the outside world that Peru is a country in which investors can trust.

Mrs. Boluarte stressed that stability is a fundamental condition for economic growth, which in turn is key to creating jobs, fighting poverty, and improving living conditions of all Peruvians, namely the most vulnerable.

Strong fight against corruption

Moreover, the country's top official stressed that her administration is leaving inefficiency behind, while firmly fighting corruption.

"Today we have a public administration, in which meritocracy, professionalism, service vocation, and teamwork prevail," she stated.

Therefore, the dignitary was optimistic that the State, private companies, academia, civil society, business associations and unions will move the country forward together.

"Let's celebrate the strength of over 2 million micro- and small-sized Peruvian entrepreneurs and continue working to get ahead for the benefit of our economy and beloved Peru, because united we all win," the President said after declaring the inauguration of the MSE Week.
