Why should you be doing business with Peru?

With a significant portfolio of investment and trade prospects, Peru continues along the path of growth and development it has followed over the past thirty years, based on structured government policies that offer continuity, macroeconomic discipline, stability, and a long-term vision.


The country’s fiscal solvency, significant international reserves, efficient economic and regulatory management, favorable macroeconomic climate, legal stability for foreign capitals, as well as a dynamic performance in the international market are key factors that are highly appreciated by investors and companies present in Peru.


At the same time, the Peruvian government’s strategy to be a part of the global value chains should be highlighted, achieved through free trade and bilateral investment agreements with more than 20 countries to date. These agreements not only establish a legal reference framework for investment and trade, but they also offer a series of benefits and guarantees to foreign investors, such as stability, intellectual property protection, national treatment, and preferential market access.

In short, Peru’s robust legislation and efficient regulatory management have helped maintain a stable economy with macroeconomic figures that are conducive to growth and favorable business opportunities
