Overview
- The Senate’s Procedural Committee approved a transparent, time‑bound interview and scoring regime for candidates to three congressional seats on the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú.
- The committee set in‑person interviews with recorded scoring, one one‑minute question per bancada, three‑minute answers, no replicas, and a 60‑minute maximum per candidate.
- A slate of 12 nominees was published and the committee advanced 11 to the interview stage after one candidate was excluded for late registration in the Senate document system.
- Lawmakers rejected a rule requiring Sunedu registration of academic degrees and instead decided to award points for presented master's and doctoral documentation as laid out in the official convocatoria.
- Three directors named by the executive—Marylin Choy, Luis Palomino and Gustavo Yamada—are already in place and Julio Velarde is expected to be ratified, leaving the Senate’s selections to shape the BCRP board through 2031 and influence market confidence.
