Doing Deals in Peru
For those presently exploring the possibility of doing business in Peru, the opportunity could not be better since we are enjoying unprecedented times of economic and political stability. By the end of 2009 it will be 18 years of consistently applying economic policies intended to create a foreign investor-friendly environment; all of which have enabled the Peruvian economy to be up and running in times of global financial crises. Peru will continue to promote macro-economic stability as a goal within its more comprehensive strategy of becoming a globalized economy. The newly signed Free Trade Agreement with the United States, the classification of the country with an investment grade by Fitch Ratings and by Standard & Poors and the adherence to the “Declaración sobre Inversión Internacional y Empresas Multinacionales” of OCDE, are actual landmarks of the achievements obtained by Peru which have made it a more attractive destination for foreign investments and has also earned it a secured and prominent place in the agenda of most investmentrelated forums and events organized in the world economic centers. It should be noted that based on the results of a research conducted by Fundación Getulio Vargas (Brazil) and the University of Munich, comprising a survey of 149 experts in 16 countries, Peru obtained the highest index (ECI) in having the most favorable economic climate for investment in all the region, which confirms Peru’s major expectations for foreign investment. The University of Munich also performed a survey focused on the juridical and administrative barriers existing in each country for foreign investment; again Peru was found to have no major restrictions for foreign investment. As a signal of this enhanced international confidence, the quote price of the so-called EPU, the financial instruments listed on the New York Stock exchange, comprising Peruvian-company stocks, increased by 15% from its first listing by mid-July. Considering that the increased demand of these instruments exceeded expectations, a listing of such EPU was also made on the Mexico Stock Exchange.
