Peru economic and export performance

Overview

Peru’s economic landscape in 2026 shows a mix of business volatility and growth in specific sectors. Data from the second quarter indicates that while 89,846 companies were created or reactivated, business closures rose by 8.1% compared to the previous year. Despite these closures, the total number of active companies reached 3.37 million, and the country is projected to meet its fiscal deficit target of 1.8% of GDP, aided by high mineral prices and increased tax revenues.

In the export sector, the number of Peruvian exporting companies grew by 3.4% between January and July 2026, totaling 7,731 entities. Growth has been driven by agroindustry, traditional mining, metalworking, and chemicals. Although micro and small enterprises (mypes) constitute 89.3% of the exporting companies, they represent only 3.7% of the total FOB value, which reached US$ 63.521 billion during this period.
