Following the regional tendency, Peru's country risk index dropped 14 basic points, from 2.14 percentage points
to 2.00, according to Peru's EMBI + calculated by the investment bank JP Morgan.
The EMBI + Peru is measured by the difference in the average performance of Peruvian sovereign bond yields versus U.S. Treasury bonds.
This is a way to estimate the political risk and the possibility that a country may not be able to comply with its payment obligations to international creditors.
That is, this index asseses the degree of "danger" that a country poses to foreign investment.
