Public Debt in Peru
Peru - Public Debt
Growth likely surged in Q2, marking the second consecutive quarter of accelerating GDP growth. Economic activity continued to increase at a strong pace in May following April’s five-year high, on the back of expansions in the agriculture, fishing and manufacturing sectors. Recently released data shows that credit to both businesses and households kept growing robustly in June, suggesting a continued solid economic performance. Moreover, in the same month, public investment spending jumped by a fifth in annual terms although the fiscal deficit narrowed for the fourth consecutive month, benefiting from surging tax revenues. However, in mid-July, the political scenario was shaken by a judicial scandal following leaked phone conversations in which judges appeared to illicitly negotiate promotions and criminal sentences. This led President Vizcarra to fire his justice minister, while the head of the Supreme Court resigned in mid-July. Although the government has promised a comprehensive reform of the judiciary in response, a protracted judicial crisis could undermine political stability and hit foreign investment.Peru - Public Debt Data
