The Central Bank of Peru published export statistics showing total exports of USD 6.318 billion in February 2025, up 15.2% year on year. The increase was driven by a 15.5% rise in the average export price and a 19.4% increase in the average export volume of non-traditional products. Higher export prices reflected mainly stronger international prices for key export metals including zinc, copper and gold, which also supported higher prices for steel and metal products, and to a lesser extent higher prices for coffee, natural gas and non-traditional fishery products. The rise in non-traditional export volumes was broad-based across sectors except fisheries and chemicals. For January to February 2025, total exports reached USD 13.156 billion, an increase of 20.9% compared with the same period in 2024, supported by higher prices (up 13.1%) and higher volumes (up 6.9%).
