Elaborado en base a la presentación realizada en la Cámara de Comercio Peruano-Chilena.Por: Víctor Gobitz, presidente del Instituto de Ingenieros de Minas del Perú. AbstractTo address the issue of social profitability, we will analyze four aspects related to this concept that, although it has recently been put on the public agenda, is not alien to the mining industry. We will discuss Peru's macroeconomic strengths, the population bonus, the situation of the mining industry and what we must do to have quality public management.
