Peru's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has decelerated significantly in February 2025, with data revealing a drop to 2.68%. This represents a decrease from January's GDP growth rate of 4.07%, according to the latest figures updated on April 15, 2025.
The GDP figures for February indicate a marked slowdown when compared year-over-year, giving insight into a potential contraction in economic activity. The January rate of 4.07% was itself a reflection of year-over-year growth, suggesting that the earlier momentum could not be sustained as February's rate comes in much lower.
This recent slowdown may raise concerns about the long-term growth trajectory of Peru's economy, as it suggests that the country is experiencing a period of decreased economic dynamism when compared to prior months. Analysts and policymakers will be closely monitoring these indicators to gauge future economic strategies and responses to stimulate growth and stabilize the economy.
