The Central Bank of Peru reported that Peru’s Net International Reserves reached USD 95.574 billion as of 15 January, strengthening the country’s international liquidity buffer. The stock was USD 5.359 billion higher than at end-2025. Reserves are held in liquid international assets and, at the current level, are equivalent to 30% of GDP, which the central bank described as the highest among the main Latin American economies. It also highlighted the role of reserves in cushioning external shocks and reducing exchange-rate volatility during periods of financial turbulence, citing the 2008 US subprime crisis and episodes of domestic political stress.
