The Report: Peru 2018

Peru in brief

With average annual growth of 5.9% over the past decade, Peru’s economy has consistently outperformed most of its neighbours in the region. Politically, the country is emerging from a period of instability and security concerns to rank among the top investment destinations in the developing world. Indeed, after a political transition that threatened business confidence and investment projects in the country, local and international economic agencies have regained optimistic outlooks. As one of South America’s top performers due to its structural reforms and fiscal discipline, Peru is seeing an economic rebound thanks to rising commodity prices and an export-oriented mining sector.
