Overview

• President José Jerí swore in Denisse Miralles on October 14 as the new head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
• Miralles returns to the MEF after serving as viceminister of Economy earlier in 2025 and has led Decentralized Investments at ProInversión since 2014.
• She is credited with boosting the Obras por Impuestos mechanism, with adjudications reaching a record above S/4.2 billion in 2024.
• Her tenure begins less than two months before the deadline to approve the 2026 budget as lawmakers push proposals to expand public spending.
• She is the eighth MEF chief in four years, a turnover that heightens concerns over policy continuity as she seeks to protect fiscal discipline and investor confidence.
