Peru is strengthening its integration into regional and global markets through three mutually reinforcing pillars: mobilising investment towards strategic sectors, improving trade and value-chain participation, and enhancing the enabling conditions for competitiveness through infrastructure, digitalisation and skills development.
Peru promotes private investment through investment facilitation mechanisms and a pipeline of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and projects in assets led by PROINVERSIÓN. Recent efforts have focused on the PPP 5.0 approach, which aims to improve project planning, structuring and implementation through stronger co‑ordination across public institutions. The country also offers instruments such as legal stability agreements, advance VAT recovery for eligible projects and investor facilitation services. Peru does not have a sector-specific investment promotion strategy. However, its PPP portfolio prioritises transport, energy, sanitation, telecommunications, health and education, while incorporating a territorial approach that directs projects to regions according to their infrastructure needs and economic potential.
Trade integration is guided by the National Multisectoral Foreign Trade Policy to 2040, which seeks to expand market access, strengthen firms’ internationalisation and increase participation in regional and global value chains. Peru pursues these objectives through a network of trade agreements, including the Andean Community, the Pacific Alliance, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement. Meanwhile, it is modernising its agreement with the People’s Republic of China; concluding the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with Indonesia and the Free Trade Agreement with Hong Kong, China; and maintaining regular dialogue with strategic partners such as the United States and the European Union. These efforts are complemented by Commercial Opportunities Programmes, market intelligence studies, updated Regional Export Plans (PERX), and trade facilitation measures such as the Single Window for Foreign Trade (VUCE 2.0). Together, they help firms access international markets and participate in regional and global value chains.
Infrastructure investment plays a central role in improving connectivity and competitiveness. The National Plan for Infrastructure 2026‑2031 and the PPP portfolio prioritise investments in airports, ports, transport corridors, logistics and energy infrastructure. Strategic projects include Chinchero International Airport, the Chimbote and Matarani port terminals, the Juliaca Dry Port and logistics corridors linking Peru with Brazil and the Asia-Pacific region. These initiatives aim to reduce logistics costs, strengthen regional integration and position Peru as a regional logistics hub.
Peru complements these investment efforts through the National Competitiveness and Productivity Policy and Plan, the National Digital Transformation Policy, the National Labour Formalisation Strategy 2026‑2040, and innovation programmes such as ProInnóvate and the network of Centres for Productive Innovation and Technology Transfer (CITEs). Together, they promote digital skills, innovation, technology transfer and closer links between workforce capabilities and business needs. Peru also engages in financial integration through NUAM Exchange, which integrates the Peruvian, Chilean and Colombian stock exchanges to deepen regional capital markets and improve access to finance.
