Peruvian government requests supplementary credit for various sectors

The Peruvian government has requested a supplementary credit of S/8.228 billion from Congress. These funds are earmarked for various critical areas, including the acquisition of fighter jets, pension payments, public security initiatives, healthcare services, and preparations for the El Niño phenomenon.

This significant financial request comes as the government also submits its 2027 budget proposal, which it describes as a "moderate expansion of spending." The allocation for El Niño preparedness highlights the ongoing concerns about climate-related impacts, while the inclusion of defense and social welfare programs indicates a broad governmental agenda.
