Investment as a share of GDP was 25.2% as of 2022, well above the long-run average of 21.4% going back to 1980. Copper, gold, and petroleum are key exports. As an emerging market economy, Peru equity mutual funds and ETFs are often purchased by more aggressive-minded investors. Last Updated: 04/25/2024 View more View less
