The Peruvian foreign exchange market is currently experiencing the largest growth in Latin America with an expansion of approximately 162 percent. This has placed the country in a better risk category, providing many opportunities for foreign investment.

Derivatives and other products are handled infrequently. Financial activities are traditionally based in Lima , where one can find the financial and banking institutions' head offices.
