We are glad to present the first edition of the Journal of 
Economics, Finance and International Business. This journal 
aims to publish relevant research and current development 
in all fields of economic, financial and business sciences 
worldwide, thus broadening our scope to a larger audience. To 
ensure quality, a main goal of this journal is to practice a peer 
review of articles submitted for publication. 
The first issue of volume 1 of this journal is a single article 
within the macroeconomic field. It is titled Peru: The External 
and Internal Adjustment Challenge, written by Gonzalo Pastor 
and Alex Müller-Jiskra. Briefly, this paper identifies and 
discusses three main aspects: First, the Peruvian economy has 
moved from the biggest resource boom since the mid-1950s 
to a “new normal” state characterized by a weaker foreign 
demand, falling metal prices and expectations of rising interest 
rates at the international level. Second, transition to a new 
normal state is happening under robust initial conditions, such 
as Peruvian economy’s sound macroeconomic fundamentals, 
and its underlying flexibility. Third, macroeconomic policy—
particularly monetary and exchange rate policy—is helping in 
this adjustment, although a successful transition may need to 
be supported by a number of structural policies mentioned in 
the paper. A preliminary version of this article was presented 
during an important academic event at the Universidad San 
Ignacio de Loyola in Lima (Peru). 
We sincerely hope that this article and subsequent ones will be 
of great interest and use for the academic community, as well as 
for a broader audience.
We look forward to your comments and responses to the 
published articles of this journal, which can be included in 
the upcoming editions. Also, all of you are welcome to submit 
new articles and share findings of your own research with the 
readers of our journal.
