I love Peru, but business friendly it is not.  I know 2 people in the last month who have packed up and left even though they were making decent money because they were sick and tired of the coima, disorganization, rules that change from moment to moment, strong-armed by the police, lack of respect for contracts and utter chaos with Aduana.

I spoke to a manager of a big hotel and he said he had to have one person full-time last week just fighting for his gusts at Aduana and FeDex, DHL and TNT because they were demanding 2 or 3 times as much money as required, huge delays and many materials did not get through on time.

For Peru to advance significantly, things like that will need to be cleaned up.

Peru is definitely not a "safe haven" for investors. Only large multi-national corporations have the deep pockets to protect their investments in Peru.

The "Safe Haven" theory is just that - a theory and has yet to be proven.

The APEC was turned into one large World Trade Fair and lacked the focus on what it was really about. The Peruvian government got things mixed up, they treated the APEC as if it was just about Peru, when in fact it should have been more about "What is Peru's role in the APEC?"

I'd like to know what the Peruvian government's agenda is for next year since they don't have any more summits to host.

Peru is a good place to invest for the macro investor, but it's not quite a sealed deal for the micro investor.

Of course they have discovered PEru! There is just so much to see, taste, enjoy and learn from this magnificent country! The APEC was just an excuse to show it to the world leaders: our delicious <a href="http://peruvian-cuisine.blogspot.com">peruvian food</a>, the culture, the inca traditions, the modern lima, the economic growth, and so much more.

Of course Perú is a save haven. Now for small investors, of course they are not encouraged too much, we need the big players invest here, for the small to medium things we have the peruvians themselves till they grow.

Rachel, you got a few things mixed up, APEC has performed as usual, is just that the news media in Perú have focused in everything that has being gained, in the 135 parallel bilateral meetings between peruvian and foreign bussiness executives. Of course Perú had to take advantage of the oportunity and turn it into a "Fair", remember that Perú is an example of financial security in the world right now due to the solidity its economy. 

All the burocratic quagmire that exists right now is being solved, one step at a time, that's why major investors are waiting till 2010 to evaluate the evolution of the peruvian economy and start to heavly invest in all sectors.
