Escritor Peruano Mario Vargas Llosa gana Premio Nobel de Literatura 2010.
La Embajada del Perú en Australia se enorgullece de anunciar que el destacado escritor peruano Mario Vargas Llosa ha sido galardonado con el premio más prestigioso de las letras universales: el Premio Nobel de Literatura 2010.
Igualmente es de destacar que, el autor de "Los Jefes", "La ciudad y los perros" (1962) "La Casa Verde" (1966) y "Conversación en la Catedral" (1969), entre otros, se convirtió en el sexto latinoamericano en obtener el prestigioso reconocimiento.
La Academia sueca justificó la entrega del galardón a Vargas Llosa "por su cartografía de las estructuras de poder y su mordaz retrato de la resistencia individual, la sublevación y la derrota".
El premio de aproximadamente US$1,5 millones, será entregado en la capital sueca el próximo 10 de diciembre.
Peru Leads Latin America in Improving Business Regulation
The FINANCIAL -- Twelve of 20 economies in Latin America reformed business regulation to expand opportunity for local firms in the past year, according to Doing Business 2011: Making a Difference for Entrepreneurs, the eighth in a series of annual reports published by IFC and the World Bank.
"Peru improved business regulation the most in the region, moving up 10 places in the global ranking on the overall ease of doing business, to 36 (among 183 economies). Peru was also among the world’s 10 most active economies, improving in four of nine areas covered by the report. It created an online one-stop shop for business registration, improving the ease of business start-up more than any other economy. Peru also streamlined permits for construction, introduced fast-track procedures at the land registry, and eased trade with a new Web-based electronic data interchange system," IFC informs.
Economies in Latin America are improving regulation with faster, transparent, electronic systems. For example, Nicaragua improved electronic payment of taxes and expedited trade by migrating to an electronic data interchange system for customs. “New technology underpins regulatory best practice around the world,” said Sylvia Solf, lead author of the report. "Technology makes compliance easier, less costly, and more transparent."
Chile, the region’s runner-up regulatory reformer, moved up from 53 to 43 in the global ranking on the ease of doing business by introducing an online system for business registration and strengthening investor protections. Brazil eased business start-up by enhancing electronic synchronization between federal and state tax authorities. Colombia made it simpler to obtain permits for construction by improving the electronic verification of prebuilding certificates.
Mexico moved up six places in the global ranking, to 35. The region’s top-ranked economy, Mexico launched an online one-stop shop for initiating business registration, improved construction permitting, and increased options for online payment of taxes.
Over the past five years about 85 percent of the world’s economies have made it easier for local firms to do business, through 1,511 improvements to business regulation. Doing Business 2011 pioneers a new measure showing how much business regulation has changed in 174 economies since 2005. According to the new data, Colombia and Peru have been among the world’s most consistent reformers of business regulation.
Peru first country to meet health, education & employment goals in APEC region
President Alan Garcia said Tuesday that Peru is the first nation among the 21 member countries of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum to meet specific goals in areas such as health care, education, production and employment.
The Peruvian leader said that a study on the performance of member countries will be released in the 18th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held in Yokohama, Japan.
"Peru is the first country of the 21 APEC members to have met all these objectives and requirements,” said President Garcia after attending a handover ceremony of 121 ambulances to be diverted to Ministry of Health hospitals across the country.
He noted that the study acknowledges that "not even the global crisis could affect our job creation and therefore economists in the world are wondering how the employment could grow, how growth was maintained and how after having a poverty level of 48 % in 2006 now we have a level below 34%."
The head of State added that economists also highlighted our country’s progress on facilitating "not only large foreign investments but also small-scale investments in districts and regions, making things easier for those who want to create jobs."
For this reason, he said, Peru has been considered as the first country in the world to have made progress on productivity with employment, and on production with poverty reduction.
President Garcia will travel to Japan tomorrow to attend the 18th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting to be held on November 13-14 in Yokohama, Japan.
