The Central Bank of Peru published external trade figures showing a goods trade surplus of USD 26,652 million in the 12 months to June 2025, including a June surplus of USD 2,523 million. Total exports reached USD 6,905 million in June 2025, up 11% year on year, mainly reflecting a 12.7% increase in average export prices that more than offset a 1.5% fall in volumes. Higher international prices for gold, copper and zinc were the main drivers, alongside higher prices for steel and metal products, with additional support from coffee and non-traditional chemical products. Imports rose 13% to USD 4,382 million in June, led primarily by higher purchases of industrial inputs and durable and non-durable consumer goods excluding food. For the first half of 2025, exports totalled USD 40,050 million (+17%) and imports USD 27,600 million (+13.3%), taking the semester trade surplus to USD 12,450 million.
