Peru’s economic growth in June 2026 slowed marginally, with year-over-year GDP expanding by 1.75%, down from 1.80% in May 2026. According to the latest data, updated on 17 August 2026, the figure reflects a modest deceleration in activity when compared with the same month a year earlier.
Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing the performance of June and May 2026, respectively, against their corresponding months in the prior year. While the decline from 1.80% to 1.75% is slight, it signals a mild loss of momentum in Peru’s growth trajectory as mid-2026 data continues to come in. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming releases closely to gauge whether this softening persists in the second half of the year.
