According to ComexPerú, the balance left by the government of President Dina Boluarte is significantly more favorable compared to that of her predecessor, Pedro Castillo. This analysis is supported by various economic indicators that show growth and a rebound in job creation, a crucial aspect for the country following a period of crisis and difficulties. Despite the challenges faced last year, such as the El Niño phenomenon that severely affected the north of the country and a global economic slowdown, the current administration has begun to show signs of recovery. One of the pillars of growth highlighted by ComexPerú is private investment, which represents 70% of total investments in the country. Business confidence, they say, is returning, allowing more individuals and companies to begin investing. This recovery is fundamental, as without a favorable environment for investors, economic growth would remain stagnant. It sends a clear message about the importance of creating an ecosystem that encourages investors to risk their capital. Additionally, the revival of the fishing sector, which had suffered a decline last year, is mentioned. The recovery of this sector, key for many regions of the country, suggests a more optimistic outlook in terms of employment and economic development. The relationship between mining and other sectors is also emphasized: each mining project not only benefits direct operations but also generates multiple indirect jobs in the community, thus contributing to regional development. However, criticism towards populist proposals that increase state spending becomes a central point in ComexPerú's discourse. The organization argues that raising the minimum wage, for example, could have adverse effects on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which represent 96% of businesses in the country. By increasing the minimum wage, there is a risk of pushing these companies into informality, which could further exacerbate the already concerning labor informality rate, which hovers around 70%. The discourse continues to emphasize that rather than focusing on the minimum wage, it is more beneficial to concentrate efforts on how to generate more jobs and improve productivity. The current situation in the agricultural sector is a concrete example of this, as hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost in recent years due to inadequate changes in legislation. There is a call to return to an agrarian promotion law that benefits workers and the productive sector. The issue of infrastructure is also addressed, highlighting the urgent need to improve connectivity and educational infrastructure. Efficiency in road concessions and the digitalization of the state are considered key to advancing the modernization of the country. These measures would not only make life easier for citizens but would also help reduce corruption, a deep-rooted issue that affects trust in institutions. Security is another aspect that cannot be overlooked. ComexPerú demands a firm stance from the government against crime and coordinated support from justice institutions. According to the analysis, insecurity not only increases costs for citizens but also limits investments and economic growth. An effective security policy could free up resources that could be used in more productive areas such as education and community development. Finally, the call to avoid "populist norms" is presented as an imperative for the future of the country. It is argued that these measures, far from helping, tend to be ineffective and generate unnecessary expenses that hinder development. A more productive and results-oriented approach is what is needed to move towards sustainable and equitable growth. In summary, the administration of Dina Boluarte has shown significant advances that, although still in the process of consolidation, offer a ray of hope for Peru's economic future. The key, according to ComexPerú, is to continue betting on private investment, job creation, and to avoid falling into the trap of populist solutions that only exacerbate existing problems. The focus should be on building a more competitive and fair country for all.
