Private investment maintained its momentum in the third quarter of 2025, recording an 11.4% increase in Peru, marking an acceleration compared with the previous quarter (+9.2%), the Central Reserve Bank (BCR) reported.

The issuing entity noted that the period's performance was marked by a double-digit expansion in non-residential investment (+15.3%).

This was driven mainly by a strong rebound in mining investment (+23.9%) and solid performance in the non-mining sector (+14%).

The Central Reserve Bank indicated that private investment unfolded in a favorable business confidence environment, with 3- and 12-month expectations remaining in the optimistic range, at levels higher than in the previous quarter.

"Financial conditions continued to ease, reflected in lower lending rates and an expansion of credit to businesses, especially in the corporate and large-enterprise segments. Imports of capital goods continued to grow at double digit rates," the BCR noted.

"Among its components, mining investment rose, driven by higher disbursements in infrastructure projects amid high metal prices. Meanwhile, in the residential sector, investment grew 2.4%, explained by the progress of self-construction, in line with higher domestic cement consumption and an increase in mortgage lending," it added.
