Peru Economic Activity Slows Further in June
Peru’s economy expanded 1.75% year-on-year in June 2026, easing slightly from 1.8% in May and marking the weakest growth since November 2025. Fishing recorded the steepest contraction, plunging 51.9% after a 73.1% decline in the previous month, as warmer surface waters linked to the El Niño phenomenon pushed fish into deeper waters. In turn, agriculture also weakened, falling 8.1% after a 0.1% increase. Growth in mining and hydrocarbons reversed to a 2.2% contraction from a 2.6% gain, while the decline in manufacturing narrowed to 6.2% from 10.7%.
