Peru’s trade surplus widened to USD 1,334 million in April 2025 from USD 830.7 million in the same month last year. Exports advanced 12.4% year-on-year to USD 5,802 million, driven by a surge in non-traditional product sales (+40.3%) and, to a lesser extent, traditional products (+4%).
Meanwhile, imports increased at a softer pace of 3.1% to USD 4,468 million, reflecting higher purchases of consumer goods (+14.4%) and capital goods (+6.8%), partially offset by declines in intermediate goods (-3.4%) and other goods (-18.2%). In the first four months of the year, the trade surplus reached USD 8,220 million, up from USD 5,589 million in the same period last year, with exports climbing 22.2% and imports rising 13.6%.
