Peru’s economic growth eased in September 2026, with year-over-year GDP expanding by 2.43%, down from 3.23% in August 2026. The latest figures, updated on 15 November 2026, indicate a loss of momentum after a stronger showing in the previous month.

Both the current and previous readings are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring how GDP in a given month changed relative to the same month a year earlier. The August indicator reflected a 3.23% increase versus August of the prior year, while the September figure shows that growth moderated to 2.43% compared with September a year ago.

The deceleration suggests that while Peru’s economy continues to grow, the pace has softened as the third quarter progresses. Investors and policymakers are likely to watch upcoming data closely for signs of whether this slowdown is temporary or the start of a more sustained cooling in activity.
