China and the United States’ New Investment Destination
Peru is an appealing destination for investors from China and the United States due to the stability of its currency and a projected economic growth of 3.1% by the World Bank. Factors such as abundant natural resources and a favorable regulatory framework contribute to creating a conducive environment for foreign investments.
The stability of the Peruvian currency, recognized by the Institute of Economics and Business Development (IEDEP) and supported by the Central Reserve Bank, plays a key role in attracting investments. This, along with economic stability and a favorable regulatory framework, has positioned Peru as a hub for international investments.
China has invested approximately $38.8 billion in Peru between 2001 and 2023, with a strong presence in sectors like mining, electric power, oil, and gas. Infrastructure projects, such as port terminals in Chancay and San Nicolás, further highlight the economic collaboration between China and Peru. This mutual preference for Peru as an investment destination underscores its strategic role in South America for both countries.
