秘鲁周四推出一揽子经济措施，旨在缓冲厄尔尼诺天气现象可能带来的经济放缓。
Peru on Thursday unveiled a package of economic measures aimed at cushioning a potential slowdown from the El Niño weather phenomenon.
经济部长埃尔默·库巴在新闻发布会上表示，受影响企业将获得流动性支持和税收缓缴，并称秘鲁拥有财政实力为这些措施提供资金。
Impacted firms will receive liquidity support and tax payment deferrals, Economy Minister Elmer Cuba said at a press conference, adding that Peru has the fiscal firepower to fund the measures.
“并非所有国家都能做到这一点——只有偿债能力强的国家才能。绝大多数国家无法像这样应对，”库巴说。
库巴列举了三个可能威胁秘鲁经济势头的外部冲击：厄尔尼诺现象、油价上涨和全球利率上升。
根据央行初步数据，截至9月的12个月内，秘鲁累计财政赤字占国内生产总值的0.9%，为四年来最低水平，得益于更强劲的税收收入，包括所得税征收。
"Not all countries can do that - only solvent ones.
库巴还表示，即使考虑到厄尔尼诺因素，秘鲁经济增长仍可能超过此前预测的3.4%，但他未给出修正后的估值。
科学家称，与厄尔尼诺现象相关的海洋温度升高正在扰乱秘鲁太平洋沿岸的海洋生态系统，威胁该国渔业。
总统凯科·藤森在同一新闻发布会上表示，财政规则将作出修改，以允许明年追加180亿索尔（约合52.2亿美元）的投资。
The vast majority of the planet cannot respond like this," Cuba said Cuba cited three external shocks that could threaten Peru's economic momentum: El Niño, higher oil prices and rising global interest rates Peru's accumulated fiscal deficit in the 12 months through September stood at 0.9% of gross domestic product, the lowest level in four years, helped by stronger tax revenue, including income tax collections, according to preliminary central bank data Cuba also said Peru's economy could grow by more than the previously forecast 3.4%, even taking El Niño into account, though he did not give a revised estimate Scientist say that warmer ocean temperatures linked to the El Niño phenomenon are disrupting marine ecosystems off Peru's Pacific coast, threatening the country's fishing industry Speaking at the same press conference, President Keiko Fujimori said fiscal rules would be changed to allow an additional 18 billion soles ($5.22 billion) in investment next year
