The Central Bank of Peru reported that inflation in Metropolitan Lima closed 2025 at 1.5%, the lowest in eight years and within the central bank’s target range. It also stated that Peru recorded the lowest inflation rate in the region and, based on data through November 2025 for peer jurisdictions, a lower level than in the euro area, Canada and the United States. The release noted that Peru has maintained single-digit inflation for 28 years and 11 months, described as the longest monetary stability cycle in Latin America since the 1950s. Twelve-month inflation expectations have remained within the target range since December 2023 and stood at 2.16% in November 2025; the central bank expects inflation to be 2% in both 2026 and 2027, assuming supply shocks dissipate, economic activity stays around potential and expectations continue converging toward the midpoint of the target range.
