Peru's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have experienced significant fluctuations over the past 56 years, with an all-time peak of 7.36 in 2012 and a trough of -0.51 in 1984. The country's FDI inflows currently stand at 3.16, ranking 89th globally. This is comparable to Gabon, which has a slightly higher FDI inflow at 3.17. Peru's FDI inflows have shown a general upward trend since the 1980s, indicating a shift towards a more open and investment-friendly economy. However, the current value remains lower than its peak in 2012, suggesting that the country still has room for improvement in terms of attracting foreign investment. A sustained recovery in global commodity prices, particularly copper, which is a key export for Peru, could potentially boost FDI inflows and propel the country towards a stronger investment trajectory.
