The assessment shows that the regulatory environment has not demonstrated the necessary capacity to bring about an attractive investment environment, a result of the country's perceived high level of regulatory risk.

In general terms Peru's telecommunication regulatory environment is seen to be on the threshold between efficient and inefficient. On the one hand, the most promising results are seen in the perception of the regulation of market entry while on the other hand improvements are required with respect to regulation of anti-competitive practices, with the regulator's actions perceived as inefficient. Overall the effect of Peru's regulatory environment on investment is perceived as neutral, with no relationship between perceived regulatory risk and investment.
