This paper presents a growth diagnostic of La Libertad using the methodology developed by Hausmann, Rodrik and Velasco (2005), which is adapted to the sub-national level. Despite of the high growth rates in this region over the last decade, an analysis of the qualitative and quantitative information available allow us to identify four factors that strongly restrain the long-run growth of the region: low levels of human capital; a poor provision of infrastructure; crime and insecurity on the coast; and the institutional weakness of the public sector. These problems are verified by several tests that the analytical framework provides and, if they were solved, the region’s growth prospects would be widely improved. Resumen Este trabajo presenta un diagnóstico de crecimiento para la región La Libertad utilizando la metodología ideada por Hausmann, Rodrik y Velasco (2005), la cual es adaptada al ámbito sub-nacional. A pesar de las altas tasas de crecimiento de la región en la última década, el análisis de la información cualitativa y cuantitativa disponible permite identificar cuatro factores que limitan fuertemente el crecimiento de largo plazo: bajos niveles de capital humano; una deficiente provisión de infraestructura; el crimen y la inseguridad ciudadana en la costa; y la fragilidad institucional del sector público. Estos problemas son confirmados por los distintos test del marco analítico y, de ser remediados, mejorarían ampliamente las perspectivas de crecimiento de la región.
