The World Bank has rated Peru among the best-prepared countries in Latin America to face computer problems. It appears that there is a low risk of potential disruptions in key sectors, with the exception of the health sector. The telecommunications, financial and water and sewage sectors are expected to be compliant by late fall. Peru's public hospitals and clinics are vulnerable to disruptions and the government lacks the budget to fix medical equipment. Problems with machines relying upon time-sensitive chips in the health care sector, such as dialysis machines, are possible.
Limited disruptions are also possible in the energy sector.
The Czech Republic appears to be generally prepared to deal with problems. Greater progress in remediation efforts and contingency planning in rail service, electricity generation, water supply and health care will help lower the risk of potential disruptions in the Czech Republic. Germany Germany is dependent on computer systems for a large part of its production of goods and services. It has made progress on remediating problems, developing contingency plans, and is otherwise well prepared to deal with any Y2K-generated problems. There is a low risk of potential disruptions in key sectors.
