Ley 32537 is the statutory tier above DS 009-2025-EM. The chain is:
1. Decreto Legislativo 1293 (2017) — the original statute declaring ASM formalisation a matter of national interest and creating REINFO. 2. Ley 32213 (December 2024) — modified DL 1293 to push the REINFO sunset from 31 Dec 2024 to 30 Jun 2025 (extendable +6 months). 3. DS 009-2025-EM (18 May 2025) — implementing regulation for Ley 32213; creates SIPMMA traceability and reasserts MINEM rector authority. Already filed in the register. 4. Ley 32537 (26 December 2025) — this action — again modifies DL 1293, replacing the 30 Jun 2025 (+6mo) deadline with 31 December 2026 or "until the MAPE Law and its reglamento enter into force, whichever occurs first." Adds census, coordinate-declaration, archive transfer, and SUNAFIL payroll-compliance obligations.
Operatively the law does five things:
pen for non-formalised ASM operators through end-2026, blocking enforcement closure of inscribed operations during that window.
census within 6 months and complete it within 12. This is the first statutory mandate for empirical sizing of the sector since formalisation began in 2012; it is the data-foundation the future MAPE Law will be sized against.
operational location of their workings via the Ventanilla Única. Historically REINFO inscriptions could be filed without geographic precision, enabling registry-to-mine mismatch.
full physical and digital documentary acervo of formalisation files to MINEM. This finalises the rector-authority pull-back begun by DS 009-2025-EM.
days to issue rules verifying that REINFO holders enrol workers on payroll — closing a long-standing informal-labour gap in the regime.
The statute was promulgated by the Jerí government following Congress approval; the executive published in El Peruano on 26 December 2025.
global copper, and a top-10 global gold producer. REINFO-inscribed ASM output enters the export chain via licensed acopiadores (concentrators/aggregators). The 18-month extension means downstream LBMA / RJC / EU CRMA buyers continue facing the same Peruvian-origin due-diligence ambiguity that existed under DS 009-2025-EM through end-2026.
MAPE Law as the alternative termination condition. Whether Congress passes a MAPE Law in 2026 — and what its formalisation thresholds look like — becomes the gating variable for the post-REINFO regime.
DS 009-2025-EM remains the operational layer; the census mandated by Ley 32537 will likely feed SIPMMA's master registry of operations and chemical-input demand. Mercury and cyanide importers (notably Mexican and Chilean supply chains) face continued documentary regime buildout through 2026.
minerals MoU explicitly cites Peru's formalisation progress as a cooperation precondition. Pushing the REINFO deadline 18 months forward may be read by Washington as backsliding, even with the census-and-coordinates obligations layered in.
post-electoral handover window. The next administration inherits both the implementation of the census and the political decision of whether to extend (again) or terminate REINFO.
will REINFO be rolled forward again? The 2012–2025 pattern is repeated extensions.
~80,000+ informal operators distributed across Madre de Dios, Puno, Arequipa and Ayacucho within 12 months is unproven.
enforced via REINFO de-registration of non-compliers, or treated as advisory.
draft Decreto Supremo with complementary provisions; final text and effective date are pending.
