Peru's economy is dependent on commodity exports, making the economy at risk due to price volatility in the international markets, though in recent decades the economy has begun to diversify. The extraction of such commodities has brought conflict within the country due to its environmental and social impacts. Beginning in the 1980s, Peru faced economic difficulties as a result of the early 1980s recession and the increased political violence, with the government of Alan García enacting price controls that resulted in hyperinflation. In response, the armed forces of Peru then drafted Plan Verde – an operation to create a neoliberal, open market economy with the "total extermination" of impoverished Peruvians – which was reportedly executed by the authoritarian government of Alberto Fujimori beside prescriptions from economist Hernando de Soto during a period known as "Fujishock". During this shock, price controls were discontinued, the privatization of state-run organizations occurred and the promotion of foreign investments happened through the removal of regulations. The economic measures of the Fujimori administration, alongside its brutal repression of political violence within Peru, made the country macro-economically stable though the policies increased suffering among the poor and did little to change the poverty rate, leaving behind a polarized legacy. The nation has more recently experienced increased development following the 2000s commodities boom, with improvement in government finances, poverty reduction and progress in social sectors. Poverty specifically has decreased significantly – from nearly 60% in 2004 to 20.5% in 2018 – while inflation in 2012 was the lowest in Latin America at 1.8%, with the most recent annual rate standing at 1.9% in 2020.
