Economy and Finance Minister Raul Perez Reyes led the Peruvian delegation at the XVIII Europe Roadshow 2025, which began in London on Monday. The tour aims to position Peru as a reliable, competitive destination with a stable investment outlook.

Speaking before representatives of British companies and investment funds, the government official emphasized that the South American country combines solid macroeconomic fundamentals, fiscal and monetary stability, as well as a modern agenda of strategic projects.

"In the first half of 2025, the Peruvian economy grew 3.4%, supported by record exports and significant dynamism in both private and public investment. This result lays the foundation to achieve economic growth of 3.5% in 2025," Perez Reyes stated.

According to the government official, "Peru will continue growing above the regional average, with fiscal and monetary stability, low inflation, controlled public debt, and one of the lowest country risk ratings in Latin America."

"In a challenging global scenario, we have the conditions to attract quality investments and, together with the private sector, build a prosperous future for millions of Peruvians," he concluded.


Sustainable Finance

On Monday, Deputy Economy Minister Erick Lahura, along with Peru's Development Bank (Cofide) Board Chairman Jorge Velarde, participated in the panel discussion "Lessons from Peruvian Landmark Debt Issuances" at the Sustainable Finance event co-organized with NUAM.

They shared Peruvian experience regarding sovereign bond issuances and their impact on international markets, highlighting investors' confidence in the South American country's macrofiscal fundamentals.

Lastly, the Economy and Finance Minister, together with Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) Executive Director Tabata Vivanco del Castillo and the Peruvian delegation, will continue their agenda in London and, subsequently, in Madrid until September 11.

The delegation will promote Peru as an attractive destination for investment and international trade, and facilitate connections between foreign investors, authorities, and Peruvian companies.
