Digital Adoption in Peru
82% internet use · 0.8070 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Peru, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Peru is reported at 82% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
Peru is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world.
Peru has broad internet adoption and a relatively strong digital-government position. The contrast between a 82% internet-use rate and a global EGDI rank of 58 helps show that digital adoption is more than one metric. For Peru, the figures above should be read with the source year shown on this page.
Only directly verified country values and observation years are shown for mobile-cellular, active mobile-broadband and fixed-broadband indicators.
| Connectivity indicator | Peru | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Individuals using the internet | 82% | 2024 |
Digital Payments
Financial-inclusion indicators are shown separately from connectivity measures because they describe account ownership or payment use.
| Financial inclusion indicator | Peru | Year |
|---|---|---|
| Adults with an account | 59.3% | 2024 |
The financial-inclusion figures for Peru come from survey indicators and are kept separate from telecom subscription measures. Account ownership and payment use are distinct financial-inclusion measures. Missing observations are shown as unavailable. Across the indicators, separate survey measures from network counts so the value is not mistaken for a population share.
Data note:
This conservative treatment prevents older or non-comparable financial-inclusion statistics from being presented as current.
