Peru's national fiscal transparency framework is anchored by Decreto Legislativo 1440/2018 (SNPP), mandating budget execution through SIAF-RP and near-transaction-level public access via the Consulta Amigable portal. External audit is exercised by the constitutionally autonomous Contraloría General (Ley 27785/2002, Const. Art. 82); the Contralor serves a 7-year term appointed by Congress. DL 1276/2016 created the independent Consejo Fiscal to monitor macrofiscal rule compliance. Peru ranks 18th of 125 in OBS 2023 (OBI 71/100), the top-ranked country in this batch and a regional benchmark for SIAF-driven expenditure transparency. CPI 2025: 30/100 — a significant law-practice gap.
