FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. Forward-looking statements are statements that are
not historical facts. These statements are based on our current plans, estimates, assumptions and projections. Therefore you should not
place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to

investment and potentially lower international reserves;

international hostilities; and

·

SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND ARBITRATION
Peru is a sovereign state. Consequently, it may be difficult for you to obtain or realize upon judgments of courts in the United
States against Peru. Among other requirements, the execution by Peruvian courts of any judgment ordering payment by Peru of any
principal or interest arising from the bonds will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian
Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year on which such payment is to be due. For more information, see
"Description of the Securities--Jurisdiction, Consent to Service and Enforceability" in the accompanying prospectus.
CERTAIN LEGAL RESTRICTIONS
The distribution of materials relating to the offering and the transactions contemplated by the offering may be restricted by law
in certain jurisdictions. If materials relating to the offering come into your possession, you are required by Peru to inform yourself of
and to observe all of these restrictions. The materials relating to the offering do not constitute, and may not be used in connection
with, an offer or solicitation in any place where offers or solicitations are not permitted. If a jurisdiction requires that the offering be
made by a licensed broker or dealer and either the underwriters or any affiliate of the underwriters is a licensed broker or dealer in
such jurisdiction, the offering shall be deemed to be made by such underwriter or such affiliate on behalf of Peru in such jurisdiction.
For more information, see "Underwriting".
