The Ministry of Production (PRODUCE) announced on March 28 the establishment of the Intergovernmental Commission for the Production Sector on Micro and Small Enterprises (MYPE) and Industry, aiming to boost productive development across the country. This move follows Supreme Decree No. 019-2025-PRODUCE.
The commission brings together national and regional governments to coordinate policies, plans, and programs related to MYPEs and industry. The initiative is part of a broader decentralization process that seeks to transfer competencies and functions from central authorities to subnational governments.
Juan Carlos Requejo Alemán, Vice Minister of MYPE and Industry, presided over the installation session attended by representatives from 24 out of 26 regional governments as well as all accredited sector representatives. In total, there were 62 participants in this initial meeting.
During the session, attendees approved both the Work Plan for 2026 and internal regulations for the commission. These documents are considered essential tools for guiding its activities toward stronger decentralized management and territorial coordination.
Requejo said: “The country needs truly coordinated productive management where decisions are built from within territories with regional governments as strategic partners. This Commission marks a turning point in how we promote development for MYPEs and industry because it will allow us to align efforts, prioritize interventions, and respond more effectively to each region’s real needs.”
According to PRODUCE officials, this new phase will include thematic working groups focused on implementing the approved plan while generating concrete results that benefit all regions. The ministry reiterated its commitment “to advance towards effective decentralization that generates more competitiveness, more formalization, and greater growth opportunities for entrepreneurs throughout the country.”
