Business Environment

Consistent and credible macro-economic policy, political stability, and an investor- friendly climate have laid the foundation for sustained economic growth in Peru. The country offers business opportunities in many sectors as Peru requires significant investments in infrastructure and technology to maintain growth and improve social welfare. The Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has further strengthened a well-established and growing trade and investment relationship that in recent years, has seen Canada become one of the top foreign direct investors in the country in the mining sector.
