Peru

Aperçu économique et sectoriel

Peru is an upper-middle-income emerging economy in South America, with a nominal GDP of approximately USD 289 billion in 2024 according to FocusEconomics/IMF data. The economy is heavily oriented toward mining and natural resources, with copper, gold, zinc, silver, and fish meal among its top exports; China and the United States are its principal trading partners. The services sector accounts for the largest share of GDP (~60%), while mining and industry together constitute roughly one-third of output. Peru is a member of the Pacific Alliance, CPTPP, APEC, and the Andean Community, underpinning a relatively open trade regime. Political uncertainty and periodic social conflict around extractive industries remain structural constraints on investment and growth.
