Peru’s New Cabinet Sworn In, Led by Former Constitutional Judge
On February 24, 2026, Peru’s President Jose Jeri formalized the swearing-in of his new cabinet in Lima, marking a pivotal step in his administration’s governance strategy. The cabinet includes a former constitutional judge, signaling a potential emphasis on legal and institutional stability following months of political transition. While the prime minister’s role has not been publicly highlighted in recent reports, the appointment of experienced legal and economic figures to key positions suggests a focus on policy continuity and fiscal management.
The new cabinet’s composition reflects President Jeri’s campaign priorities, including economic recovery and anti-corruption measures. However, specific details about individual ministers’ mandates or economic policies remain undisclosed at this stage. Analysts note that Peru’s financial markets will closely monitor the government’s approach to public spending and foreign investment, particularly amid regional economic uncertainties.
Investors may also observe how the cabinet addresses lingering challenges from previous administrations, such as inflation control and infrastructure funding. The inclusion of a former constitutional judge in a leadership role could influence regulatory reforms, though concrete policy proposals have yet to be announced.
As the administration begins its term, stakeholders will assess the cabinet’s ability to balance political priorities with economic demands. With Peru’s economy projected to face moderate growth in 2026, the government’s policy coherence and institutional credibility will be critical factors for investor confidence.
