The BCRP highlighted Peru’s 28 years and 11 months of single-digit inflation, the longest such stability period in Latin America since the 1950s, with 2025’s inflation rate lower than that of other regional and developed economies. Inflation expectations remained anchored around 2.16% at year-end, supporting monetary policy continuity with the reference rate steady at 4.25%.
