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
update any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks. We caution you that many factors could affect the future performance of the
Peruvian economy. These factors include, but are not limited to:

· external factors, such as:

·
interest rates in financial markets outside Peru;

·
changes in Peru's credit ratings;

·
changes in import tariffs and exchange rates;

·
changes in international commodity prices;

·
recession, low economic growth or economic contraction affecting Peru's trading partners;

·
deterioration in the economic condition of Peru's neighboring countries;

·
the recent extreme contraction of liquidity in the international financial markets and equity, debt and foreign

exchange market volatility, which could lead to domestic volatility, declines in foreign direct and portfolio
investment and potentially lower international reserves;

·
international hostilities; and

·
the decisions of international financial institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund, or IMF, the Inter-
American Development Bank, or IADB, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, or IBRD, or

World Bank, and the Andean Development Corporation, regarding the terms of their financial assistance to Peru;
and

· internal factors, such as:

deterioration in general economic and business conditions;

the level of Peruvian domestic interest rates; and

· the ability to realize all of the expected benefits to our debt profile as a result of the prepayment of the Paris Club debt.

S-4

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".
