Silver Market in Peru
Peru is the world's second-largest silver producer after China (by some measures), mining approximately 100-120 tonnes annually. The country has a rich pre-Columbian silver heritage — the Inca Empire was famous for its silver work. Major mines include Yanacocha (Newmont) and Las Bambas. The sol has been relatively stable due to Peru's strong mining export revenues.
Why do people in Peru invest in silver?
Peruvian investors view silver as both a cultural heritage and a financial safeguard against political instability. Peru has had significant political turbulence in recent years, making silver an attractive alternative to PEN-denominated assets for middle-class savers.
