The latest x-ray of perception delivered by Ipsos as part of the CADE 2025which this year brings together business leaders in Lima, shows that in this important sector there is a marked growth in concern about insecurity. But not only that, insecurity directly affects the economic development of the country.
From a business perspective, the wave of crime is directly transferred to accounting: increased expenses on private security, control systems, additional personnel and preventive measures that increase operating costs and reduce margins.
One of the main conclusions of the Ipsos report maintains that crime and organized crime are the main concern. Fighting insecurity is the main demand to reactivate investment and the most urgent reform that is demanded.
This picture has been one of the central axes of the debate at CADE Executives 2025: business leaders and analysts demand to recover the rule of law as a requirement for investment and to contain the “leak” of economic activity towards less risky areas.
The survey commissioned by IPAE and interpreted by Ipsos provides quantitative evidence that justifies urgent policies—not only repressive, but also comprehensive institutional reforms—to curb the economic cost of insecurity and restore certainty for companies and citizens.
