Promoviendo competencia en mercados locales en el Perú: Una aplicación subnacional de la herramienta de análisis de mercados y política de competencia del Banco Mundial - Piloto en Piura
(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-11-08) World Bank
Este informe utiliza la herramienta de Análisis de Mercados y Políticas de Competencia (MCPAT, por sus siglas en inglés), desarrollada por el Banco Mundial, para evaluar los mercados y las políticas de competencia en el departamento de Piura. Mediante este análisis, el informe busca proporcionar información sobre cómo mejorar las regulaciones para promover un entorno de mercado más competitivo, impulsando así el desarrollo económico y la productividad en Piura. La eliminación de barreras burocráticas es un componente fundamental para el desarrollo de una política de competencia en el Perú. Una política de competencia efectiva debe (i) promover regulaciones y otras intervenciones que faciliten la entrada de nuevas empresas y fomenten la rivalidad en el mercado; (ii) garantizar la neutralidad competitiva y (iii) asegurar la aplicación efectiva de las leyes de competencia. Al eliminar las barreras burocráticas, se crea un entorno propicio para la competencia, lo que a su vez impulsa el crecimiento económico y promueve la innovación en el sector privado del país.
Peru: Building a More Efficient and Equitable Fiscal Decentralization System
(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2017-05-02) World Bank Group
Over the past two decades, Peru has achieved remarkable economic success. Average annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has exceeded 5 percent since 2001. Poverty has been consistently reduced, and sustained improvements have been observed in social and human development. The poverty incidence rate fell from 58 to 23 percent between 2004 and 2014, and households’ incomes at the bottom 40 percent grew 50 percent faster than the national average. The structural transformation of Peru’s economy striking fast and widely shared growth transformed Peru into an upper-middle income and diversified economy. This report analyzes recent trends of the fiscal decentralization process in Peru and presents a set of reform options designed to harvest the envisaged efficiency and equity gains in service delivery that the fiscal decentralization was expected to bring. The analysis and policy options are presented in a conceptually logical order: (i) departing from institutional arrangements in the vertical structure of subnational governments passing to (ii) the need of a clearer definition of spending responsibilities among levels of government that needs to be followed by (iii) a commensurate redefinition of revenue assignments and (iv) enhancing equalization role of the transfer system.
Peru - Selected Issues in Fiscal Policy: Taxation and Equity
(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2015-06-11) Junquera-Varela, Raúl Félix; Vostroknutova, Ekaterina
This report takes an in-depth look, from a policy perspective, at the trade-offs between increasing tax collection and improving the equity of the fiscal system. As part of this effort, the report places the Peruvian tax system in an international context and considers the key challenges the government is facing in its drive to increase revenue. It also conducts qualitative and quantitative analyses of the impact of taxes and transfers on inequality and on the distribution of income. The report then makes several policy proposals that would increase tax collection without jeopardizing equity, and it then simulates the impacts of these changes on collection and equity. This advice spanned the 2012-2014 period, and included research on several tax policy-related issues, such as legal advice on double-taxation treaties and in-depth analyses of tax exemptions. To keep the focus tight, some of the work is not included in this report. Contributions were originally written in Spanish to provide the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) with timely advice on the subject and were discussed with the counterparts during and immediately after its preparation. As a result of prioritizing this process, two teams focused on different areas of research and were able to contribute to the analytical base behind the ongoing tax reform. The report summarizes the main elements of this process and resulting advice. It comes out at the same time as the finance ministry announces the first set of tax reforms that were informed by this work.
Peru - Public financial management performance report : based on the performance measurement framework (PEFA)
(World Bank, 2009-04-15) World Bank
The report based on the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) methodology is to serve Peruvians authorities and officials as a baseline and reference for the monitoring of Management of Public Finances (GFP) in the country. Also, it feeds and updates the dialogue between the government and various agencies and bilateral development cooperation in the area of GFP, the achievements and shortcomings of reform processes that are underway or are proposed in the future. The report also helps these agencies to determine country eligibility for a new program budget support or, possibly, to verify compliance with general conditions or special disbursement of GFP linked to a program previously approved. In addition, the report fosters discussion on the formulation or revision of an integrated program of public finance or the development or revision of a support program for public finance and institutional coordination between different agencies.
