2021 Latin American Cities Conferences: Lima 

Attracting Investment for Growth and Development

With a severe Covid-19 death toll, millions living below the poverty line, and a large informal economy, Peru faces enormous challenges in reactivating its economy. However, with years of macroeconomic stability, a network of trade agreements, and abundant natural resources, the economy is showing its inherent strength and there are clear signs for optimism. Peru is registering a good recovery pace in key sectors of the economy, and GDP growth is projected to rebound to 13 percent in 2021, per the Ministry of Economy and Finance.

For the 16th consecutive year, Peru’s Foreign Affairs Ministry and Americas Society/Council of the Americas will bring together key government figures, as well as private-sector leaders from around Latin America to analyze Peru's economic standing and exchange views on how the public and the private sectors can work together to restore growth that leads to sustainable and equitable development.

The conference will be conducted in Spanish. The event will be broadcast on this page; no registration will be required to watch.

Atrayendo inversión para el desarrollo y crecimiento

Con un severo número de muertes a causa de Covid-19, una alta taza de pobreza y con altos índices de informalidad laboral, Perú encara enormes desafíos para reactivar su economía. Sin embargo, con años de estabilidad macroeconómica, una red de acuerdos comerciales y una abundancia de recursos naturales, la fortaleza de la economía peruana comienza a dar claras señales de optimismo. Perú está registrando un buen ritmo de recuperación en sectores claves de la economía, y se proyecta que el crecimiento del PIB se recuperará al 13 por ciento en 2021, de acuerdo con el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas.

Por el decimosexto año consecutivo, el Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores del Perú y Americas Society/Council of the Americas reunirán a funcionarios de gobierno, así como líderes del sector privado de toda América Latina para analizar la situación económica del Perú e intercambiar perspectivas sobre cómo los sectores público y privado pueden trabajar en conjunto para impulsar un crecimiento que conduzca a un desarrollo sustentable y equitativo.

La conferencia será en español. El evento será transmitido en vivo por esta página, y no se requiere registro previo para ver la transmisión.
