National Blueprint · One of 195

Peru

A nation of 34.6 million with minerals that earn an eighth of the economy and forest across half its land, where the World Bank finances wastewater, fiscal resilience and tourism.

Perfect Nations values what Peru owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Peru. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group (US$8.30 a day for high-income nations). Each figure links to its source.

All Solutions

  • The Solution for PeruWater

    Turn cheaper debt into safe water.

    • 02The dealDebt-for-climate-resilience swap, proved in Barbados, 2024: $300M the world’s first for resilience. Inter-American Development Bank, 2024
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where water is furthest from reach should swap costly debt for cheaper, guaranteed debt and commit the savings to water and sewerage. With super intelligence, every saving can be followed into each household connection, main and treatment plant, and the next connection planned where the need is greatest.

  • Deal Note No. 12

    Peru sells its largest dollar bond to build against El Niño

    • 01The challengeEl Niño threatens Peru’s coast, and the Government needs funds to prevent it, respond to it and mitigate its impact.
    • 02What Perfect Nations advisesNations on an El Niño coast should issue long sustainable bonds under a published adaptation framework and pair the sale with an exchange of near maturities, Ecuador first. With super intelligence, every dollar raised can be followed from eligible category to district, and climate exposure priced place by place, so leaders can see which homes and livelihoods each bond protects.
