The Peruvian government has been looking for ways to reduce its dependence on natural resources and believes a focus on the ICT industry could facilitate this move. At the end of 2013, the IT industry accounted for around 0.9% of GDP, and we expect this to rise to 1.1% by 2018. The government is pushing initiatives such as the Fibre Optic Backbone Network, StartUp Peru and the One Laptop Per Child policy, which should result in a boost for local IT companies. We believe Peru's IT market will perform strongly over the medium term due to a combination of a supportive macroeconomic environment and growth trends in the IT sector.
