Banking leadership changes in Peru and Costa Rica

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Peru’s newly licensed commercial bank Efectibank announced the appointment of former Alicorp CEO Álvaro Correa as chairman of its board, alongside other new directors, as the institution expanded its product range and set a two‑million‑client target by 2028.

Later that month, the focus broadened to the wider region. Costa Rica named former deputy Jorge Eduardo Sánchez as interim director of the state‑owned Banco de Costa Rica, while Peru appointed economist Luis Alberto Arias Minaya to head the advisory cabinet of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, reflecting parallel moves to refresh leadership in key financial and economic bodies.

Together, the appointments illustrate a regional trend of reshuffling senior positions in banking and economic policy institutions across Peru and Costa Rica.
