Introducing Peru
Peru has reached the status of an upper-middle-income economy, following two decades of remarkable economic growth. This is largely attributed to Peru’s sound macroeconomic policies and economic openness, resulting in renewed investor confidence and improved infrastructure to support Peru’s competitiveness and productivity growth. The main economic sectors according to their contribution to gross domestic product (Central Bank of Peru, 2019) are commerce and services (61.1%), mining and fuel (12.9%), manufacturing (12.3%), construction (5.8%), agriculture and livestock (5.6%).
Building a more diversified economy and strengthening productivity are at the core of Peru economic policies, namel the National Policy of Competitiveness and Productivity (2018) and the National Plan of Competitiveness and Productivity (2019).
Peru is engaged in numerous free trade agreements at the multilateral, regional or bilateral levels, including the World Trade Organization, the Pacific Alliance, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, and agreements with the European Union, China and the United States of America, among others. According to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, in 2018, total exports from Peru reaching a record high of US$ 47,709 million.
PCP Peru
Fostering modern, competitive and inclusive industry in Peru
In December 2015, the Government of Peru and UNIDO began developing a holistic programme to accelerate inclusive and sustainable industrialization in Peru. The Programme for Country Partnership for Peru (PCP Peru) seeks to facilitate the mobilization of partners, expertise and resources to help advance modern, competitive and inclusive industry in Peru in line with the national development strategy, Plan Bicentenario: El Perú hacia el 2021 (Plan 2021).
The PCP rests on a multi-stakeholder partnership between development partners, UN agencies, financial institutions, and the business sector, under the overall leadership of the Government of Peru.
The PCP’s implementation phase started in January 2018 with several technical projects launched within the programme’s priority areas. PCP Peru focuses on four main areas: (i) quality and innovation; (ii) value chain and enterprise development; (iii) sustainable industrial parks and zones; and (iv) industrial resource and energy efficiency and renewable energy. The programme also supports cross-cutting areas such as policy development and gender mainstreaming.
Through the PCP, UNIDO provides advisory services to the government on industry-related issues, delivers multidisciplinary technical assistance, and facilitates overall coordination and the convening of partners. The various technical projects and programmes are implemented by UNIDO and other development partners, and coordinated through national governing bodies.
