Commentaries by Martín Valdivia on the illicit cigarettes market in Peru

“To claim that 62.2 % of the cigarettes sold in the national market are of ilicit origin as a result of taxes, is to want to overturn the tax policy for the control of tobacco consumption”.

Read the commentaries by Martín Valdivia, Senior Researcher at GRADE, on the recent report by the consulting firm Euromonitor, which states that Peru is the country with highest penetration of ilicit cigarettes in South America. However, according to a research by GRADE and Colat, the illicit cigarette market in our country accounts only for 13 %.
