Peru

Panorama económico e industrial

Peru is an upper-middle-income economy in South America whose growth has been anchored by commodity exports, particularly copper, gold, silver and zinc, making it one of the world's leading mining nations. The services sector, including finance, retail and tourism, is the largest contributor to GDP by share, while agriculture and fishing also play meaningful roles. Peru's economy grew 3.3 percent in 2024, rebounding from a mild contraction in 2023, supported by strong domestic demand and a recovery in mining and agricultural exports. Inflation has remained well within the central bank's 1 to 3 percent target band since early 2024, and the country maintains investment-grade sovereign credit ratings. Political uncertainty and high labour informality remain structural challenges for long-run growth.

Reubicación y residencia

Acceso para inversores extranjeros

Peru does not trigger tax residency through share or property ownership alone. Physical presence and other ties determine domicile status under Peruvian tax law. Individuals domiciled in Peru are subject to income tax on worldwide income, while non-domiciled individuals are taxed only on Peruvian-source income. Capital gains on BVL-listed shares are subject to a reduced rate for domiciled taxpayers. Foreigners relocating to Peru should seek local legal and tax advice, as immigration categories and tax rules are subject to change.
