Just a few days into the new year 2023, our country was established with the name it will carry in this ongoing year. It should be noted that this tradition has been respected since 1962 and consists of the current president, in this case Dina Boluarte, choosing the name of the year and formalizing it through the newspaper El Peruano, which explains the points in this regard. In this Depor article, we will inform you about the chosen name for this 2023 and why it was named that way.

What is the name of the year 2023 in Peru?

The name of the year 2023 in Peru is “Year of Unity, Peace, and Development,” according to Supreme Decree 004-2023-PCM, published last Friday, January 13, in the Bulletin of Legal Norms of the Official Gazette El Peruano.

In recent years, the official names were decreed in the first days of January, as done by Francisco Sagasti (January 7) or Pedro Castillo (January 8). For this reason, it was expected that Dina Boluarte would do the same in those days of 2023.

Why is the name of the year chosen and how is the selection made?

This tradition was adopted with the aim of promoting and recognizing the topics that mark the social agenda of the Government. The objective is for State and private entities to take into account what the Executive establishes for this year. The official name is finally chosen through consensus after several proposals made throughout the year by ministries and public entities.
