A week after Chile unveiled a plan to strengthen state supervision of the
industry. Peru’s economy minister declared on Thursday that “conditions were
being establish” for the development of lithium mining projects in the nation.

2. Economy Minister Alex Contreras declared. “A window of opportunities has
opened. And we want to takes advantage of it,” adding that there was “a lot of
interest” in hastening Peru’s development since actions in other nations were
frightening investors.
When asked for more information about the projects being built in Peru,
Contreras declined.
The Macusani Yellowcake subsidiary of Canada’s American Lithium Corp. is
currently managing an a lithium research project in the Puno region, close to
the Bolivian border, in Peru. The second-largest copper producer in the world.
The “lithium triangle.” Which is made up of Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia, is
close by and is said to have more than half of the world’s minerals within its
vast salt flats.
However, due to excessive output and weakening Chinese demand, the
metal’s prices have fallen from record highs set last year. The metal is
essential for powering electric vehicles.
Chile’s action follows a comprehensive nationalisation plan for lithium adopted
by Mexico last year. The socialists in power in Bolivia, though, have likewise
favoured state control and are relying on Chinese partner to unleash their vast
undeveloped reserves.
Contreras asserted that investors are interest in a variety of economic sectors,
not just lithium. And that prospective investments in lithium battery factories
might be advantageous for other areas of the economy.
According to him. The nation’s GDP should expand by 3% annually on
average during the ensuing years importent in large part to new mining
operations. The government of Peru has reduced its estimate of GDP growth
for this year to 2.5%.
Since Pedro Castillo’s ouster as president in December of last year,
widespread, protracted demonstrations have negatively impacted Peru’s
mining industry.

3. This year, according to Contreras’ forecast. The government will have a fiscal
deficits of 2.1 percent of GDP. And private investment is anticipat to decline for
the second year in a row in 2023.
