An Opportunity for a Different Peru: Prosperous, Equitable, and Governable

Marcelo M. Guigale, Vincente Fretes-Cibils and John Newman

No 6633 in World Bank Publications - Books from The World Bank Group

Abstract: This book argues that Peru faces an unprecedented opportunity to become the next success story in Latin America. In the coming five years, policy making could put the country on a development path similar to the one that, say, Chile, Costa Rica, or Spain have followed over the last two decades. This book includes 32 sector-specific chapters and 2 historical perspectives that precede them. The beginning chapter, a synthesis, builds a comprehensive reform agenda that highlights possible sequencing and priorities. It is organized in five sections-the main messages, the three strategic challenges in Peru's development, and a path for action over the next five years.
