This Economic Survey was prepared by Paula Garda, Michael Koelle and Elena Vidal under the supervision of Aida Caldera Sánchez. Research assistance was provided by Anne Legendre and Juan Pablo Ugarte, editorial support by Karimatou Diallo and communication assistance by François Iglesias and Laura Fortin. The Survey benefitted from useful comments by Alvaro Pereira and Isabell Koske, Director and Deputy Director of the Country Studies Branch in the Economics Department, Alberto Gonzalez-Pandiella and Nicolas Gonne from the Economics Department, and colleagues from the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, Financial and Enterprise Affairs, Development, Education, Employment, Labour and Social Affairs, Environment, Public Governance, Global Relations and Legal Affairs Directorates of the OECD .
On 25 January 2022, the OECD Council decided to open accession discussions with Peru as well as five other countries Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania. On 10 June 2022, the Council at Ministerial Level adopted the Roadmap for the Accession Process Peru [C/MIN(2022)22/FINAL], setting out the terms, conditions and process for the accession of Peru. In accordance with this Roadmap, 24 OECD technical committees, composed of expert policy-makers from each of the 38 OECD Members, will conduct an in-depth assessment of Peru’s legislation, policies and practices against OECD legal instruments and OECD best policies and practices covering multiple areas of government policy, including economic policy but also labour market and social policy, education, and health.
The overarching objective of the OECD accession process is to promote Peru’s convergence with OECD standards, best policies and best practices, resulting in better outcomes for OECD Members as well as for Peru and its citizens. Throughout the accession process, the OECD will work closely with Peru to support the adoption of long-lasting reforms for this purpose.
The Economic Survey of Peru was discussed at a meeting of the Economic and Development Review Committee (EDRC) on 11 July 2023 and is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. The cut-off date for data used in the Survey is 14 September 2023. This is the first Survey of Peru.
