Keiko Fujimori Presidency Triggers Rapid Realignment in Peru’s Mining and Security Policy

Moderate confidence (67%)
Risk direction: volatile · Impact: HIGH
Executive summary
Within 7 days of Keiko Fujimori’s proclamation as president-elect, her transition team will signal a tougher line on internal security and mining sector governance, including rhetoric on cracking down on illegal mining and revisiting key tax and royalty frameworks. This will temporarily unsettle mining communities and investors, prompting local protests and negotiations in high-output copper regions. Regional partners and China will watch closely to gauge whether Peru remains a stable, pro-investment node in energy transition supply chains. Confirmation would be named appointments of market-friendly or hardline security figures and early statements on revising mining contracts; denial would be a caretaker-style approach with explicit continuity of current mining policies.
