Manufacturing in Peru
Peru - Manufacturing
The economic panorama has darkened in recent weeks, after economic activity contracted sharply in March amid tumbling mining, fishing and manufacturing output. Unemployment spiked in Q1 as compulsory stay-at-home measures impaired business activity, while exports plummeted in the same period as external demand for Peruvian products evaporated. Turning to Q2, conditions appear increasingly bleak, as evidenced by business confidence falling to a record-low in April and unemployment continuing to rise. This comes despite one of the most comprehensive fiscal policy responses among regional peers, which includes the recently approved Reactiva Peru initiative that has injected over USD 7.0 billion into the economy through credit guarantees to affected companies. Strong external reserves and a low debt-to-GDP ratio provide further fiscal space to weather the pernicious effects of the pandemic.Peru - Manufacturing Data
