Is Peru’s Business Confidence Really at a 15-Year High? Not Quite
The number is good either way. It is just not as good as the headline, and the series is not old enough to support it. The post Is Peru’s Business Confidence Really at a 15-Year High? Not Quite appeared first on The Rio Times .
Peru’s business confidence has reached its highest level in approximately 15 years, according to the Lima business daily Gestión. The report, published on 20 August 2026, states that investment confidence is at a 15-year peak and anticipates private investment growth of 10% or more in 2026. This optimism is attributed to the creation of formal jobs and the new government's formation.
The SAE survey by Apoyo Consultoría, which polls over 300 member firms, measured a confidence index of 48 points in July, marking its best level since 2012. Both SAE and the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP) reported similar levels, with scores above 50 indicating optimism. The new government election in July and Peru's leading copper production also contributed to this positive outlook.
