This Thursday, the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) presented a plan economic recovery under the name “Impulse Peru”, but the implementation of all the proposed measures may take time.
A total of 36 measures have been proposed, both to improve conditions for private spending and to speed up public investment, of which 18 are bills.
This means that half of the actions proposed by the MEF to revive the economy must be pre-approved by Congress.
MEF chief Kurt Burneo acknowledged that the request flegislative powers to accelerate reactivation plan due to disagreements between Congress and the government.
“In this context of tension between the executive and legislature, we definitely believe that it would be more risky to demand delegation of authority. Now is not the best time (…), so we think it’s safer, although it may take longer, to move from one project to another,” he said.
In the meantime, he indicated that, first of all, the projects will be evaluated in the Council of Ministers next Wednesday, and after that they will be sent to the Congress of the Republic.
With this in mind, Burneo asked Congress to prioritize discussion of bills, especially those that offer subsidies to support vulnerable population.
The minister also clarified that there are “Impulse Peru” measures that do not have to be initiated by bills, but will be initiated by Supreme Decrees.
