Peruvian economy leads regional growth —as a result of Executive's efforts— boosting public investment among other things, President Martin Vizcarra said on Wednesday.
On the other hand, there is satisfactory news for the Andean country like the 2018 first-half economic results, as growth reached nearly 4%, surpassing projections and 2017 figures (2.5%).
Peru's top official noted this is highly remarkable because GDP expanded 7.81% and 6.43% in
April and
May, respectively, with the implementation of a clear economic policy.
"Such growth caused employment to increase in May for the first time in 10 months. That's the idea so that the population has access to formal employment," he added.
