Peruvian economy will continue accelerating despite concerns about world’s economic status, since the country remains an attractive investment destination, Peru’s Finance Minister Alonso Segura affirmed.

Likewise, Peruvian economy will register the highest growth rate among Pacific Alliance's countries, despite negative external factors, he projected.

Contingency plan

The government has been taking measures to mitigate the impacts of the difficult international situation in the medium, as well as in the short-term.

Regulations have been enacted to improve competitiveness and productivity, besides boosting investment by easing procedures and reducing obstacles.

"From the long-term point of view, we have implemented a countercyclical fiscal policy to prevent the economy from decelerating," he added.
