Regions in Peru are politically and economically independent from the central government. Each region has its own executive, legislative and judicial branch. Peru's regional economy reflects its varied geography: An arid coastal region, the Andes further inland, and tropical lands bordering Colombia and Brazil. Abundant mineral resources are found in the mountainous areas, and Peru's coastal waters provide excellent fishing grounds.

There are innumerable opportunities for small, intermediate and large investments. Regional governments are looking for investors for the development of projects in sectors like health, education, infraestructure, energy, water treatment, food and agriculture industry, transportation, etc.
