"ComexPerú analysis highlights economic achievements and challenges of the Boluarte government."

The recent analysis by ComexPerú on the management of President Dina Boluarte's government has made it clear that the balance is positive compared to the previous administration of Pedro Castillo. In a context where global economic difficulties and climatic phenomena such as El Niño have severely impacted the country, there is evidence of growth in the economy and job creation. The recovery of mineral prices and the reactivation of the fishing sector have been determining factors in this change, allowing for a more hopeful future for Peru. According to ComexPerú, economic growth is primarily attributable to private investment. About 70% of the investment comes from the private sector, which has helped restore business confidence and promote investment. This reactivation is crucial not only for the economy but also for job creation, an aspect that concerns the public. In this regard, the Boluarte administration seems to be heading in the right direction by favoring conditions conducive to investment. However, the debate over the minimum wage highlights the challenges the government faces. ComexPerú expresses its disagreement with any increase in the minimum wage, arguing that it could harm small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which represent 96% of Peruvian businesses. Raising the minimum wage could push many of these companies into informality, a phenomenon that currently affects 70% of the employed population in the country. Thus, it is suggested that instead of discussing the minimum wage, the focus should be on generating more jobs and improving productivity. Criticism of labor regulations is also emphatic. According to ComexPerú, these regulations have failed, as they only affect a formal minority, while the majority of the population operates under informal working conditions. There is a call to rethink the discussion towards creating a more competitive labor environment that benefits all workers. This approach becomes even more relevant in a context where the agricultural sector has faced the loss of numerous jobs due to changes in legislation. Educational infrastructure and connectivity also emerge as key areas that the government must prioritize. Improving roads and digitizing public services are necessary steps to modernize the country and facilitate access to essential services. The speed and efficiency in granting concessions are crucial to avoid missing development opportunities. In terms of security, ComexPerú hopes that President Boluarte will adopt a firm stance against crime, suggesting that it is crucial to have the support of the Judiciary and the Public Ministry to ensure that criminals are not released. Insecurity, they argue, generates costs that could be invested in more productive areas, such as education or community development. The prospect of a new agrarian law is also a significant concern. The need to review and possibly reverse changes in agrarian legislation that have harmed employment in the sector is a matter of vital importance. ComexPerú proposes an approach that promotes agrarian development and benefits both producers and workers. Alongside these reforms, the importance of facilitating exports is emphasized. The current administration seems to be aligned with this goal, as the Minister of Foreign Trade is actively negotiating new treaties that could open markets for Peruvian products, generating jobs and foreign currency for the country. Finally, the analysis concludes with a call for new regulations emerging from Congress not to be populist or generate unnecessary expenses. The proposal is clear: productivity and long-term benefits for all Peruvians should be sought. In this context, Boluarte's administration has the opportunity to build a legacy that not only overcomes current challenges but also lays the foundations for a more prosperous and equitable future.
