On September 2, 1988, he was appointed as Minister of Economy, the days before his inauguration, the official price of the dollar was 33 intis and the price of the dollar on the street (the so-called "parallel dollar") was 284 intis. Trying to bring the price of the official dollar to the same level as the price of the parallel dollar, the minister gave a "package" that was known as the "Salinazo", in which the Peruvian currency was drastically devalued. From 33 intis per official dollar, 250 intis per official dollar was paid. After that, more "paquetazos" would be applied in his management, trying to give a remedy to the economic crisis.
