Overview
- Peru’s flagship business forum returned to the capital after 17 years for a three‑day program on growth, justice, education, health and security.
- President José Jerí delivered the inaugural address, projecting 3.5% GDP growth and a 2.2% fiscal deficit while earmarking more than S/6.8 billion to strengthen the National Police and public security.
- Jerí also backed deregulation to cut red tape, greater use of public‑private partnerships and works‑for‑taxes for infrastructure, and announced trade moves including a Thailand FTA and a memorandum with the Philippines.
- Day two features a ‘Economic Growth’ session with Economy Minister Denisse Miralles and former MEF chief Luis Carranza, alongside panels on justice, service delivery and legal certainty.
- The forum closes with CADE Electoral: a technical outlook from Rolando Arellano, Sebastião Mendonça and Urpi Torrado, followed by presentations from presidential contenders Rafael López Aliaga, Alfonso López Chau and Mario Vizcarra, while ministers met business guilds on a forthcoming request for delegated legislative powers.
