Peru's BCR: Private investment rose 10% in 2025, driven by mining and infrastructure

08:36 | Lima, Feb. 25.

Private investment grew 10% in 2025, driven by recovery in non-residential investment, which rose 13% over the year, the Central Reserve Bank (BCR) reported.

This outcome was explained by strong momentum in both mining and non-mining sectors, amid a gradual recovery in economic activity.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, private investment maintained a strong pace, posting year-on-year growth of 10.1%, consolidating the positive trend observed throughout the year.

The period's performance was marked by double-digit growth in non-residential investment, which rose 12.1%, supported mainly by a sharp surge in mining outlays that climbed 33.7%—one of the highest rates since 2012, excluding the statistical bounce recorded in 2021.

The BCR also highlighted progress on transport-related infrastructure projects, including the Jorge Chavez International Airport expansion, works on the First Group of Regional Airports, Lima Metro Line 2, and the Callao Port Terminal.

In the residential segment, investment accelerated its year-on-year growth to 5.3%, linked to strong momentum in self-construction and the real estate sector, amid higher employment and a recovery in real incomes within the formal labor market.
