  • Contrasting Andean Attitudes Towards Foreign Direct Investment
    9 | Global Societies Journal, Issue 1, 2013 So Close Yet So Far: Contrasting Andean Attitudes towards Foreign Direct Investment By: Daniela Peinado ABSTRACT Should a developing nation embrace foreign direct investment, or are such decisions more likely to result in a dependency that inhibits growth in the long run? The recently elected presidents of neighboring countries Bolivia and Peru have opposing attitudes in this regard, despite their analogous reliance on mineral exports and predominantly indigenous populations. I closely examine the impact of two lucrative mines—both in production for over one hundred years, privatized around the turn of the last century, and most recently owned by Swiss company Glencore. I find that Morales’s choice to renationalize the mine in Bolivia is justified based on the perceived impact of foreign involvement, the desires of his constituents, and his overwhelming concern for the environment. However, though the country has made significant financial gains thus far, it is still too soon to fully realize the repercussions of his decision. On the other hand, as Peru enjoys a relatively prosperous economy, even a narrowly focused case study illustrates the merits and downfalls of neoliberal policies in Latin America. Keywords: political economy, nationalize, privatize, foreign direct investment, development, resources, populist, public opinion, neoliberal policies INTRODUCTION Foreign direct investment is a divisive topic in the study of international political economy, and especially important as the world continues to grow interconnected. Opponents contend it is exploitative and leads to dependant development, while proponents suggest it might even be essential for economic growth, providing capital, technology, and employment.

  • Peru Economic Outlook
    Peru Economic Outlook First quarter 2015 Peru Unit World growth will rise to 3.6% in 2015 and to 3.8% by 2016, although with geographic differences. On balance, the lower price of oil will be positive for global activity. The recovery in the US is taking hold and the Fed is preparing to raise its interest rates. We are holding to our growth forecasts for Peru of 4.8% for 2015, with a bias to the downside. The estimate is conditional on better exports performance (mining) and a slight recovery in private-sector investment. Upside pressures on the exchange rate in the next few months. Depreciation is expected, due to uncertainty about when the Fed will start raising its policy rate and also because the external deficit will remain relatively high. We forecast that inflation will converge towards the centre of the target range in the next few months. Favourable performance, thanks to the drop in the price of oil, normalisation of food prices and no demand pressures. The central bank will hold to its expansive stance on monetary policy because of low growth at the beginning of the year and an environment without inflation problems. However, exchange rate pressures could cramp greater flexibility. Risks to our growth scenario are biased to the downside. In particular, business confidence could be affected by continued disappointing growth figures and political grandstanding. Peru Economic Outlook First quarter 2015 Index 1 Synopsis 3 2 Global backdrop: increasing divergence between the key economic areas 5 3 Peru: we maintain our growth forecast of 4.8% for 2015, with a bias to the downside 7 Box 1.

  • 'Overview of Peru's Mining Industry
    ‘Overview of Peru’s Mining Industry Summary Peru is one of the world’s biggest producers of base and precious metals. Currently, it is the third largest producer of copper and zinc in the world. Peru is also a major producer of gold, silver, among other minerals. The success of Peru’s mining sector stems not only from an abundance of rich natural resources, but also from an attractive legal and tax regime designed to support the industry. Peru enjoys political and macroeconomic stability. It has a steadily growing economy, which is largely driven by mineral production. The high rates of production have attracted a large amount of inbound investment into Peru’s mining sector. An estimated US$59.5 billion is expected to flow into the country over the next few years. New mines and expansion projects are expected. Much of the country is however yet to be subjected to vast exploration, leaving an immense potential for future development. A foreign investment law guarantees the security of foreign and domestic investments. Furthermore, Peru is consistently undertaking measures to improve its business climate to attract more investment. Peru’s economy continues to outperform both Mexico and Chile by GDP as its mining industry drives the economy with a diversity of metals. Peruvian miners respect the quality of deliverable, and polite professionalism in business. Minera Cerro operates an open-pit copper and molybdenum mining complex located some 20 miles southwest of Arequipa, Peru. US-based Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. has a 53.6% stake in Cerro Verde through its subsidiary Cyprus Climax Metals Co Economic Overview The country has had continuous economic and political stability since the early 1990s.
