Abstract
The report draws on a variety of international data sources and uses international benchmarking against reference group averages, comparator countries, and statistical norms to identify major constraints, trends, and opportunities for strengthening growth and reducing poverty. This study uses two other countries in the region, Colombia and Chile, as comparators. Colombia is also a lower-middle-income (LMI) country according to World Bank classification, providing a good baseline for direct comparison, whereas Chile, in the upper-middle-income group, represents an aspiration. In addition, Peru"s performance is compared to the global median values of LMI countries. (Author abstract, modified)
