The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) on Monday stated that the Peruvian economy is expected to show dynamic performance in the coming months, after recording 3.4% growth in July 2025, marking 16 consecutive months of expansion.


It remained dynamic, recording growth above expectations. 

Central Reserve Bank (BCR) Economic Studies Manager Adrian Armas had forecast a few weeks ago that the Peruvian economy would grow by 3.2% in July.

The official even warned that there was a risk of losing 0.2 percentage points due to road blockades and the resulting restriction in the supply of goods and services.

Leading indicators

In this context, Economy and Finance Minister Raul Perez Reyes stated that capital goods imports grew by 24.2% in August 2025, marking 17 straight months of expansion.

"Similarly, imports of consumer goods rose 13.1%, totaling 12 consecutive months of growth," the government official stated.

The Cabinet member added that the BBVA Big Data consumption index also accelerated to 7.2% in August, marking 21 continuous months of increase, confirming the sustained recovery in household spending.

"This performance is consistent with the sustained strength of business confidence: the 12 BCR expectation indicators (for 3 and 12 months) have remained in the optimistic range for the past 15 months," he emphasized.
