Peruvian Economy
Peru owns the fastest growing economy in Latin America over the last decade. It has the largest silver reserves in the world, as well as the largest gold, lead and zinc reserves in Latin America. Peru's coast is renowned for its maritime resources and export-oriented agribusiness, with star products such as asparagus, blueberries, table grapes, avocados, organic bananas and paprika. The Amazon, on the other hand, contains rich oil and natural gas deposits, as well as extensive forest resources. The government has been implementing measures to reduce bureaucratic barriers to investment, encourage the formalization of small businesses, and stimulate capital investment in infrastructure and business projects. Peru currently has trade agreements with the world's leading economies such as the United States, China and the European Union. It also belongs to trade blocs such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and the Pacific Alliance.
