Entiendo que cada cual vote por quien quiera. Todos tenemos nuestros sueños y miedos.
Pero realmente no pensé ver tanta gente que se dice institucionalista poniéndose el sombrero y haciendo campaña... sabiendo lo que pasó la primera vez que se lo pusieron.
Ha sido una sorpresa
Peru votes today. I was there in March and saw a country almost detached from politics. There's nothing else quite like it in Latin America.
People treat politics like a media show with little importance in their daily lives. It's curious because, despite the permanent crisis of having had eight presidents in ten years, it's still one of the most dynamic economies in Latin America. Investment is growing by perhaps 10% this year. And it's domestic investors who are betting on the country. That reflects the strength of some institutions, especially the Central Bank, where its president, Julio Velarde, has remained in power for more than 20 years. Many talk about building him a statue to celebrate what he's done.
But no country can endure that reality forever. It's also a country with major challenges: More than 70% of the country in the informal economy. The massive growth of illegal mining. And an economy that could be growing not at 2.5% as currently estimated, but at 5%, 6%, or 7%, given demand for its minerals and other exports. Much will depend on who is elected. And with 35 candidates, anything is possible.

Julio Velarde, presidente del BCR, desde CADE: “Es cierto que el déficit (fiscal) está bastante alto, creo que está demasiado alto. Un factor que limita la rápida reducción de la tasa de interés es que el gasto público está creciendo demasiado rápido, y tiene que controlarse”🇵🇪👇🏽

La economía peruana enfrenta lo parecía impensable: una recesión técnica en un momento de crecimiento global
Entre 2008 y 2022 la economía solo se contrajo un mes fuera de la gran recesión y la pandemia. Este año se ha contraído tres meses
