Consideran que plan de estmulo fiscal dinamizar economa nacional Tax incentive plan is considered to dynamize national economy
Governments new tax incentive plan, that reaches S/.2,000 million, will succeed at making national economy more dynamic because it is made in advance, according to Esan teacher Jorge Guilln. Minister of Economy and Finance, Luis Miguel Castilla said that two thirds of the incentive plan credit will be spent this year and assigned to public investment and maintenance projects. In contrast to preventive measures that were applied in 2009 to face financial crisis, economic agents will get to know in advance plans that government will apply to minimize impact of current external crisis in production, said Guilln. He pointed out that in 2009 they were only able to implement 40% of resources allocated and economy only grew 0.9%.

This time our goal is to implement the largest amount of allocated supplementary credit, he emphasized. In this regard, Guilln said that urgent decree that approved the tax incentive plan is timely for the country. It gives enough time to adequate laws in a way that they do not obstruct spending plans to help increase GDP. What we are worried about is the short management capacity to increase expenditure. Regions receive larger budgets but in the end money returns to government funds he said. Guilln expressed that in order to take account of this situation it is better to postpone for a while the Fiscal Prudence and Transparency Law because it might become a factor that makes the spending plans difficult.
