Economía peruana creció 2.85% en febrero

The Peruvian economy shows signs of recovery after two consecutive months of expansion, driven primarily by the extractive and services sectors. This positive performance contrasts with a slight contraction over the full annual period, highlighting the fragility of the recovery despite encouraging monthly indicators. The analysis reveals a significant divergence among sectors. Mining, energy, and construction lead growth, while manufacturing, agriculture, and fishing face structural challenges. This disparity underscores the country’s dependence on natural resources, alongside the weakness of its manufacturing industry and the sustainability of its renewable resources. This report is relevant to open data because it illustrates the need to access and analyze disaggregated official statistics. The ability to correlate macroeconomic data with specific sectoral performance enables the identification of economic vulnerabilities and the assessment of public policy effectiveness, facilitating evidence-based decision-making that is transparent and accessible.
