“Is there inflation in Peru? Yes, 8.9%, but if we look at the inflation in England, one of the most developed countries in the first world, the inflation is 18%. As a consequence of what? Mainly from the war between Korea and Russia”he added.

Minutes later Hannibal Torres he realized the error and clarified his statements in another of his interventions: “I said the war was with Korea, but it is Ukraine and Russia”.

The prime minister recalled that the country’s economy grew in June by 3.44% and in the budget for next year there is an increase of 9% in the total amount, that is, 17 billion soles more.

“We are growing, that is the truth. It is not that we are solving the entire economic problem, in a short time it will not be done. Compared to the countries around us, we are leading the growth”he underlined.
