Lima's inflation is drifting further and further from the target range, and El Niño is preparing markets for a devastating impact.

The Peruvian government has declared a state of emergency in 893 districts across 23 of the country's 25 regions due to the imminent danger of intense rainfall associated with the El Niño climate phenomenon, which has been forecasted as "extraordinary" through the beginning of 2026.
Simultaneously, economic indicators show mounting pressure as the Consumer Price Index (IPC) for Metropolitan Lima accumulated a 4.16% increase through August 2026, following a 0.07% monthly variation in August. This pushes Lima's inflation further outside the established target range while markets prepare for the severe impacts of the climate event.
