Overview
Peru's domestic credit stood at 19.06% in 2011, a rise of +0.19% from 2010. Peru ranked 5th globally.
Peru's domestic credit has experienced significant fluctuations over the past five decades, with a notable all-time peak of 36.91 in 1983 and a trough of 10.52 in 1994. The country's domestic credit also reached a relatively high level of 19.06 in 2011, ranking fifth globally. In comparison, nearby countries such as Tajikistan and Uganda have consistently maintained lower levels of domestic credit, with Tajikistan reaching 13.80 in 2011. The rapid expansion of domestic credit in Peru during the 1970s and 1980s was likely driven by the country's significant economic growth and investment in infrastructure, whereas the sharp decline in the 1990s was a result of the severe economic crisis that Peru faced during that period. With Peru's economy continuing to grow and stabilize, domestic credit is likely to remain stable, but any significant decline in economic growth or increase in inflation could potentially alter this trajectory.
