Reference-market overlap
Peru is outside shared business hours for the sampled reference markets right now, so meeting planning should start from the city compare or meeting-planner tools rather than a cold call.

Peru (population ~34M, GDP ~USD 265B) uses a single civil-time zone, Peru Time (America/Lima, UTC-5), with no daylight saving, sharing its offset with Colombia and US Eastern Standard Time in winter. The Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima, BVL) anchors a mining-led economy: Peru is the world's largest silver producer and the second-largest copper producer, alongside significant gold, zinc, and fishmeal exports. It is a presidential republic with a unicameral Congress and a long pattern of constitutional crises - six presidents have held office since 2018. Dina Boluarte assumed the presidency on 7 December 2022 after Pedro Castillo's impeachment and arrest following his attempted dissolution of Congress, and she has faced repeated impeachment motions and street protests through 2024-2025. The stable UTC-5 offset and DST-free regime make Lima a reliable scheduling counterpart for North American Eastern-time partners year-round.

Reference fields include Peru: ISO code, canonical slug, timezone roster, indexed cities, airport rows, next holiday, currency/language hints, reference-market overlap, and country-specific planning text.
