APEC 2024: Peru, the platform for global business

Peru is positioning itself as a strategic hub for global trade, thanks to its extensive network of trade agreements and robust logistics infrastructure. With 22 trade agreements covering 58 partners representing 82% of global GDP, Peru offers a secure and stable investment environment with favorable policies and sustained economic growth.

Peru’s geographic location on the west coast of South America provides strategic access to key markets in Asia, North America, and Europe. This geographic advantage is further enhanced by the new Multipurpose Port of Chancay, which will transform Peru into a regional trade hub, facilitating exchange with Pacific coast countries and strengthening connectivity with Asian economies.

This mega infrastructure project will centralize and efficiently distribute cargo, reducing travel time between Peru and Asia by at least 10 days.

The new international airport in Lima, the largest and most modern in South America, also plays a crucial role. Its expansion will allow it to serve approximately 30 million passengers per year, improving the travel experience and opening new investment and trade opportunities.

In addition to products, Peru is also increasing its exports of services and intangibles. Specialized solutions in creative industries, communication design, and engineering services are gaining traction in global markets. These services, aimed at sectors such as software, digital animation, digital marketing, and infrastructure, position Peru as a competitive and versatile provider in the international arena.

The combination of trade agreements, biodiversity, world-class infrastructure, and a growing focus on specialized services ensures that Peru will remain a key player in global trade and an attractive destination for investment.
