Tailwinds? Peruvian companies anticipate more hiring and less labor disputes in the second half of the year

Formal businesses in Peru are projecting an increase in hiring and a reduction in labor disputes for the second half of 2026. According to the Panorama 2026 report by Vinatea & Toyama, 35% of surveyed executives expect these improved conditions, signaling a potential shift in the country's labor market environment. This outlook suggests a period of relative stability and expansion for the formal sector during the latter half of the year.
