10:49 | Madrid (Spain), Jun. 6.
Peruvian Prime Minister Alberto Otarola on Tuesday affirmed that Peru will become the country with the highest growth rate in the region (3%), if there is a low inflation rate, which is projected to be 4% this month.
"The first thing we are looking for is to restore confidence among international economic agents in Peru. This year, Peru will be the country with the highest growth rate in Latin America (3%), with the lowest inflation rate (4%) this month, with a highly interesting growth in mining investments (6%), and the one that has recently issued bonds," he told RPP Noticias.
In this regard, the high-ranking official explained that Peru is the strongest country in Latin America at this moment, which has been made possible during the first six months of the current Government, after relaunching Peru.
Likewise, the Cabinet chief remarked that the aim is to resolve the social agenda at the same time by, among other things, providing drinking water and sewage services, which will be a priority in the public sector budget for 2024.
Moreover, more than 2,600 projects and programs that were not executed, due to the inefficiency of the previous administration, will be unblocked.
"The challenge is lengthy, as well as the possibilities," he said.
