The Central Reserve Bank of Peru published trade data showing total exports of USD 5,802 million in April, up 12.4% from the same month in 2024, driven mainly by higher export prices (up 10.6%) and, to a lesser extent, higher export volumes (up 1.5%). The rise in export prices was attributed primarily to higher international quotations for metals (gold, copper and zinc), which also lifted prices for steel and metal products, alongside increases in coffee and some non-traditional fishery and chemical products. Export volumes were supported by a 42.6% increase in non-traditional shipments, particularly agricultural and fishery products, partly offset by a decline in traditional exports, notably mining (except zinc and lead) and hydrocarbons. Over January–April, total exports reached USD 26,590 million, up 22.2% year on year, reflecting a 12.9% increase in prices and an 8.2% rise in volumes.
