During the course of 2017, 3 private equity transactions valued at US $ 120 million were closed in Peru, which represents a 73% decline in the number
of transactions and 74% in the amount thereof, with respect to the same period of 2016.

The Peruvian economy has made significant progress in its economic performance in recent years, with dynamic rates of GDP growth and low inflation and debt.
The real estate market (residential and commercial) has not been absent from the tremendous benefits generated by Peru´s sustained economic growth.
On the heels of Peru’s deals and exits in 2016, there is perhaps no better time to develop the country’s budding ecosystem.
