The strengthening of digital transaction security, the emergence of new international trade routes, and the demand for alternative minerals open up new economic development opportunities for Peru in the next decade, indicated the National Center for Strategic Planning (Ceplan).
These topics were identified in the Global and National Risks and Opportunities for Peru 2027–2037 Workshop, organized by Ceplan, an event that brought together specialists from economic, environmental, social, political, and technological fields.
They analyzed the main changes that could affect the country in the coming years.
The exchange allowed for the identification of opportunities with the potential to boost competitiveness, innovation, and economic diversification, as well as risks that could affect security, institutional stability, and the well-being of the population.
Among the prioritized risks are cybersecurity breaches, increased crime, privacy violations, and the international expansion of criminal organizations.
Their identification allowed for the examination of possible effects in different areas and the relationships that could be established between them.
During the workshop, participants analyzed how the interaction between risks can generate chain effects and how the combination of certain opportunities could produce favorable results in different areas of national development.
At the inauguration, the President of Ceplan's Board of Directors, Saúl Barrera Ayala, stressed that strategic planning and foresight must focus on the well-being of the population and national development. He also highlighted the importance of anticipating environmental changes to contribute to better decisions and guide state actions.
The workshop results will serve as input for the study Global and National Risks and Opportunities for Peru 2027–2037, which Ceplan is preparing.
The document seeks to generate knowledge about possible future changes that contribute to strategic planning and anticipatory decision-making.
In this way, Ceplan continues to generate information on factors that could affect the country, with the purpose of helping public entities identify possible threats and opportunities, evaluate their effects, and guide their decisions towards achieving national development goals by 2050.
