Peru has consolidated its position as one of the world's most attractive destinations for mining investment, after getting the highest score in this field since 2013, a Fraser Institute's survey revealed.
Within such framework, the Inca country is the 19th most attractive destination for
mining investment around the world.
It must be noted this is Peru's best position —since the 2013 edition— and constitutes a significant jump compared to the 28th spot reached in 2016.
Latin America
Thanks to this result, the Andean country also consolidates its position as Latin America's second-most-attractive jurisdiction for carrying out investments in the
mining industry.
Thus, it surpasses Mexico (4th), Colombia (10th), Brazil (11th), Ecuador (13th), the Dominican Republic (14th), Panama (17th), Nicaragua (19th), Venezuela (20th), and Bolivia (21st).
Strengths
The survey includes geological factors, but also variables related to political environment and regulation of mining activities.
In this sense, Peru ranked 14th in terms of
mineral potential and 43rd in policy perception.
