Peru military and police financial adjustments

Overview

The Peruvian government has implemented several financial measures regarding the military and National Police of Peru (PNP). In October 2026, the government approved a new scale of monthly allowances for cadets and students at military and PNP institutes via Supreme Decree No. 219-2026-EF. These adjustments, funded by existing resources within the Ministries of Defense and the Interior, vary based on the level of instruction and specific institution.

By November 2026, officials pledged to address overdue high-risk life bonuses, known as the Bonificación por Alto Riesgo a la Vida, for PNP officers and non-commissioned officers serving in emergency decree areas. Finance Minister Elmer Cuba and Interior Minister César Astudillo stated that funds are included in the public budget, though no specific payment date or total amount has been announced. The monthly bonus can reach up to S/ 2,150 per officer.
