  • Economic study Peru (September 2014)

    Thanks to its fertile soil, Peru has many assets to attract investors. Significant growth since 2000 has earned the country the flattering nickname "Tiger of the Andes". Macroeconomic indicators are also excellent, including controlled inflation, an enviable public debt and comfortable foreign exchange reserves.

    The various free trade agreements are proof of the country's international openness and attract foreign investors. The simplification of procedures and the reduction of tariff barriers are boosting trade relations and facilitating market access for companies, especially thanks to the signing of the bilateral treaty with the European Union in spring 2013.

    Year after year, Peru rises in the various rankings that assess the attractiveness and competitiveness of countries. Peru is also rated the second best South American nation by credit rating agencies.  

    On the occasion of the joint Belgian economic mission to Colombia and Peru from 18 to 25 October 2014, the Belgian Foreign Trade Agency published an 'economic study'. The first chapter is devoted to Peru's macroeconomic situation, while the second contains an analysis of four dynamic sectors in which trade opportunities abound: mines, energy, infrastructure and agro-industry. This is followed by a selection of recent success stories of Belgian companies in Peru.
