Irma Suffern Blog 5: Poverty

Analysis:
            Peru is known for the world’s third largest production, copper. It is projected that its production of copper could triple by 2015. Mining within Peru is expected to boom as some projects they are working on completes in the next couple of years. The mining sector could pull in half of all investments in Peru over this time period of two years. The reliance and optimism regarding mining and all the possibilities it offers Peru is in disregard that the vast majority of the projects they have in progress are Chinese owned. But even with all of this promise to bring in new money to Peru, it has been noted that currently nearly seven and a half million people live in absolute poverty in Peru.


Response:
            When discussing the mining to be done in Peru, it was looked over that the mining was illegal. $3 billion worth of gold mining is illegally being done to bring in a profit to the country as well as others who they are in business with. With such high numbers of impoverished people in Peru, it is understandable why now more than ever it is necessary to try to improve their equity market. Peru is in competition with so many other countries, for trade of goods produced from mining, it seems their illegal efforts may not only fall short of what they need, but also put them into much more financial trouble. Peru is in need of legitimized means to experience a surplus in finances and improve the lives of their people.
