The Peru's insurance industry went to negative from stable, citing the negative impact of COVID-19 on revenues, along with a significant amount of early withdrawals from the country's Private Pension Fund system and its negative effect on premiums.
As of 2020, Peru's Insurance market is the 7th largest in South America. Within the economies of South America, the insurance market contracted 0.7% in 2020 (-2.4% in real terms).

That same year, insurance premiums amounted to over 14 billion U.S. dollars in the South American country.

Introduction of Compulsory Life Insurance for Employees
The government of Peru issued Emergency Decree No. 044-2019 to improve measures protecting the health and safety of employees from 2nd January 2020.
