Peru’s economic expansion moderated in March 2026, with year-over-year GDP growth slowing to 3.21%, down from 3.68% recorded in February 2026. The data, updated on 15 May 2026, show that while the economy continues to grow, the pace of expansion has decelerated compared with the previous month.
Both figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s performance to the same month a year earlier. February’s 3.68% gain indicated stronger momentum at the start of the year, while March’s softer 3.21% suggests a mild loss of speed in the recovery trend.
The latest reading will be closely watched by investors and policymakers assessing the durability of Peru’s growth outlook, as the economy balances ongoing expansion with signs of cooling after earlier gains.
