The objective of this research is to empirically analyze and determine the impact of competitiveness on economic growth in Peru during the period 2016 – 2022, applying the correlation analysis and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methodology. According to the results obtained, labor productivity and infrastructure productivity have a significant positive impact on the Gross Domestic Product, being essential to improve efficiency and productive capacity in key sectors, thus boosting economic growth. However, productivity in the use of science, technology and digitalization shows a negative impact, with a decrease of 0.00075% in the Gross Domestic Product, emphasizing the critical importance of boosting investment in research and development (R&D), enhancing technological infrastructure, and implementing robust regulatory policies to maximize the country's economic development.Finally, it is determined that competitiveness exerts a significant positive impact on the economic growth of Peru, evidenced by a coefficient of 4.614% with respect to the Gross Domestic Product. This underlines the importance of strengthening competitiveness to promote sustainable and robust economic development in Peru. However, the need for additional research is identified to better understand the factors behind the negative impact on productivity of science, technology and digitalization employment. It is recommended to carry out studies that analyze in detail the factors that influence these variables to strategically improve these aspects and optimize their contribution to sustainable development.
