Peru's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) recorded a growth of 4.07% in January, exceeding expectations and consolidating the country's economic recovery.

This result is attributed to the dynamism of various sectors, highlighting fishing with a growth of 23.5% and manufacturing with 5.5%, fundamental pillars of national productive activity.

"The growth of fishing and manufacturing reflects the positive impact of policies that strengthen production and formal employment in the country," stated the Minister of Production, Sergio González. "We are observing a more competitive fishing sector and an industry that responds with greater investment and innovation."

Additionally, productive investment experienced a significant advance, with an increase of 17.6% in the purchase of capital goods, evidencing a greater acquisition of machinery, equipment, and technology by companies. This indicator reflects the strengthening of business confidence and the consolidation of a favorable environment for economic growth.

"The Government's commitment is to guarantee sustained and balanced growth, promoting the development of strategic sectors without neglecting economic stability. These results demonstrate that the country is advancing with solid foundations and with opportunities for all Peruvians," emphasized Minister González.
