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)**.

What we do for Peru

## Assets. Capital. Solutions.

Assets

## Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Peru toward seven basic standards
of living for every citizen.

 * **12.1%**Of GDP from mineral rents, 2021
 * 
   ### The Minerals
   
 * Metals and minerals already earn; the task is to keep more of their value at 
   home.
 * **52.7%**Of the land under forest, 2024
 * 
   ### The Forest
   
 * Standing forest that stores carbon and water, and can earn as it stands.
 * **61.8%**Of electricity from renewable sources, 2021
 * 
   ### The Clean Grid
   
 * Power from water, wind and sun already flows; every new connection can be clean.
 * **49,021 m³**Renewable fresh water a person, 2022
 * 
   ### The Fresh Water
   
 * Rain and rivers renewed every year: power, irrigation and drinking water.
 * **34.6m**Citizens, 2025
 * 
   ### The People
   
 * 23.6% are under fifteen: the workforce and the market of the next generation.

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](https://perfectnations.com/perfect-capita/#pq-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.

      first for resilience. [Inter-American Development Bank, 2024](https://www.iadb.org/en/news/barbados-launched-worlds-first-debt-climate-resilience-operation)
    - **03****What Perfect Nations advises**Nations 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.

    - **01****The challenge**El Niño threatens Peru’s coast, and the Government 
      needs funds to prevent it, respond to it and mitigate its impact.
    - **02****What Perfect Nations advises**Nations 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.
