Peru: a time for growth and challenges Thus, some of the challenges and opportunities that Peru sees as priorities to maintain the economic stability that it has achieved so far, include the concrete challenges of breaking poverty and extreme poverty, giving privileged status to investment in technological innovation, improving the quality of education, encouraging private investment and investment in infrastructure, positioning itself as the regional hub for international trade through the use of its strategic trade treaties with the world’s leading economies, sustaining a strong domestic demand, consolidating its position as a world reference in gastronomy and tourism, improving the management of public health and of the environment, fostering an efficient and committed public administration, the timely solution to social conflicts, confronting corruption, fostering social inclusion, the fight against drug traffic, and bringing an end to the remnants of terrorism.
