Legislative framework

Under its 1993 Constitution, Peru adopted a political model based on a social market economy, with the State guiding the country’s development and acting mainly in the areas of employment promotion, health, education, security, public services and infrastructure. Article 65 of the Constitution contains an explicit reference to consumer protection, stipulating that: “The State shall defend the interests of consumers and service users. To this end, it shall guarantee the right to information in respect of the goods and services available on the market. It shall also be responsible for ensuring, in particular, the health and safety of the population.”
