DEG Representative Office Lima | Peru

The DEG team in Lima advises financings in the manufacturing sector, in the financial sector - especially refinancing for SME business and housing finance - and in the agricultural sector. Another focus is infrastructure finance, for instance in the field of energy supply with a focus on renewable energies.

The staff look after clients wishing to invest in the Andean Community of CAN, America's third largest integration area after NAFTA and Mercosur. These include Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. The Andean region is rich in natural resources and continues to display considerable economic potential. As of 2023, Colombia, a key member of CAN, has seen its population exceed 50 million. After a period of economic slowdown due to the pandemic and global economic conditions, and a steep recovery, Colombia has entered a period of moderate growth, according to the OECD.

Other CAN members have been contributing to the region's economic dynamics: Peru has capitalized on its mining sector, and the country's commitment to economic diversification and increased trade agreements have further bolstered its economic outlook. Ecuador continues to rely on its oil exports, but the country has made efforts to expand its agricultural and tourism sectors, aiming to mitigate economic volatility. Bolivia's economy, traditionally dependent on natural gas and mining, has seen efforts to increase investment in renewable energy and infrastructure.
