Stability Score?How the stability score is computedA weighted composite of seven pillars— conflict intensity, event volatility, arms activity, economic health, market stress, sanctions exposure, and humanitarian proxy. Each pillar is scored 0–100 (higher = healthier). The composite is weighted (conflict 25%, economy 20%, events 15%, the rest 10% each) and recomputed daily from strategic events, World Bank indicators, arms-transfer data, and sanctions records.

BLUF · Bottom Line Up Front
Peru's economy faces compound pressure from climate shock, domestic political instability, and regional trade headwinds.
President Fujimori's approval rating collapsed to 28.3% amid economic deterioration and crime concerns, while El Niño suspension of anchoveta fishing threatens 78,000 jobs and global supply chains. Concurrent headwinds include US tariff impacts on clothing exports and copper market oversupply, partially offset by strategic infrastructure investments and Indian interest in gas sector development.

Key Judgments
01
Domestic political crisis deepens as Fujimori approval collapses amid economic and security failures
President Keiko Fujimori's approval rating dropped 14.5 percentage points month-over-month to 28.3% in October, driven by citizen concerns over economic deterioration and rising organized crime. This represents a critical legitimacy deficit coinciding with major economic shocks, creating vulnerability to political instability and potential governance challenges in implementing necessary policy responses.

02
El Niño-induced fishing suspension poses catastrophic employment and food security risks
Peru suspended its anchoveta fishing season in 2026 due to severe El Niño conditions, directly causing approximately 78,000 job losses and threatening global fishmeal supply chains. This environmental shock compounds existing economic pressures and will exacerbate food price instability across Latin America, particularly affecting rural populations already vulnerable to climate impacts.

03
Strategic economic partnerships emerging to offset trade vulnerabilities and develop energy sector
India signaled willingness to invest in Peruvian fertilizer plants to access natural gas, while over 80 Colombian companies committed $2+ billion in investments across multiple sectors including the strategic Chancay port hub. Additionally, China-Peru mutual regulatory recognition on the Qiankai-Shanghai route streamlined blueberry exports, indicating Peru successfully diversifying trade partnerships amid US tariff pressures.
high confidence3 sourcesES · ZH
04
Export competitiveness eroding under US tariff regime while copper market faces structural oversupply
Peru's clothing exports declined 5.7% to $764.1 million (Jan-Aug 2026) directly attributable to elevated US tariffs, while global refined copper surplus projected to triple to 368,000+ tonnes by 2027 as smelter capacity outpaces demand. These structural market pressures threaten Peru's traditional export-dependent revenue streams.
high confidence2 sourcesES · EN
05
Peru investing above regional and global benchmarks in cybersecurity amid state-sponsored attack threats
Peru allocates substantially more resources to data protection and cybersecurity than Latin American and global averages, driven by documented state cyberattacks and corporate security hardening. This elevated investment posture indicates Peru faces above-average cyber threats and recognizes critical infrastructure vulnerabilities.

+Methodology · how this profile is built
This profile draws from four data tiers. Baseline facts (geography, languages, religion) are from the CIA World Factbook snapshot of January 2026 — the final snapshot before the website was retired. Economic indicators refresh daily from the World Bank. Events, conflicts, dispatches, and entity mentions flow continuously from our continuous intelligence graph — sources come online as we add them. Intelligence briefs are generated daily under ICD 203 analytic-tradecraft standards.
Coverage of Peru will sharpen as we add local-language sources. Every field above carries a provenance chip so you can judge freshness for yourself.
