What awaits Peru under its seventh government in a decade

A possible second round is scheduled for June. Given the volatility of Peruvian politics, this may be too long a period.

The problem is that Jerí “represents Congress” and, if the population, due to “discontent and rejection”, returns to the streets, he could become “a president of just a few days”, warns Professor Tuesta.

The new campaign, with 39 pre-candidacies, is about to begin, and there is no candidate who “generates enthusiasm”, observes Álvarez.

And the economy?

Peru has shielded its social market economy against political crises. And experts predict that this time will be no different.

The Peruvian sol is one of the most stable currencies in Latin America, and annual inflation does not exceed 1.4%.
