This report provides an assessment of Peru’s progress in aligning its regulatory policy framework with OECD principles and best practices. It examines the evolution of Peru’s legal and institutional foundations for better regulation, the gradual adoption of regulatory management tools, and the governance arrangements supporting regulatory quality across national and subnational levels. The analysis highlights key reforms, including the General Law to Improve Regulatory Quality and its 2025 Bylaw, which strengthen institutional roles, reinforce the use of regulatory impact assessment (RIA), stakeholder engagement and administrative simplification, and promote greater coherence across government. The report documents advances in evidence-informed rulemaking, transparency and consultation, as well as the role of economic regulators in embedding OECD-aligned practices. It also identifies persistent challenges related to uneven implementation, capacity constraints, staff turnover and co-ordination gaps. Finally, it reviews Peru’s progress in responding to selected recommendations of the OECD Regulatory Policy Committee, including steps to formalise proportional RIA, introduce ex post evaluation and extend better regulation practices to subnational governments. Overall, the report offers a detailed snapshot of Peru’s regulatory policy system at a critical stage of consolidation and reform.
