I. FDI FLOWS ACCORDING TO THE CENTRAL RESERVE BANK OF PERU

The Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) reported a flow of US$ 6 861 million of foreign direct investment for 2015, lower by US$ 1 024 million to the amount obtained in 2014, mainly due to a scenario of low international prices (affecting the reinvestment of profits, principally in mining companies) and slow recovery of domestic demand.

 II. RECORD OF CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION

Foreign investment figures presented below are based on registration statements submitted by companies/investors to PROINVERSION pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 662 (Article 19). While the Decree establishes the mandatory registration of foreign investment, it does not establish a fixed deadline or penalty for those who fail to comply with such records.

The difference between the figures reported by the BCRP and those recorded by PROINVERSION can be explained by the following reasons: the BCRP prepares its foreign direct investment statistics considering, in addition to capital contributios and share capital purchases (share transfer between residents and nonresidents), reinvestment of profits (difference between profit generated and dividens paid to foreign investors in the same period) and net lending to the parent company (received minus paid loans) between the investor and its affiliate.

As of December 31, 2015, the foreign investment stock as capital contributions amounted to US$ 24,230 million.
