In October 2025, Peru achieved a record trade surplus of USD 4,233 million, a significant increase from USD 1,722 million in the same month of the previous year. This growth was primarily due to a faster rise in exports compared to imports. Exports surged by 46% year-on-year, reaching USD 9,517 million. This increase was fueled by strong advances in both traditional products, which grew by 63.1%, and non-traditional products, which saw a 10.7% rise. In comparison, imports grew by 10.1% to USD 5,284 million, driven by increased purchases of consumer goods (up 10.8%), raw materials and intermediate goods (up 7.2%), and capital goods (up 14.1%). Over the period from January to October, the trade surplus expanded to USD 26,150 million from USD 16,861 million in the previous year, with exports rising by 20.6% to USD 74,149 million, and imports increasing by 12.2% to USD 47,999 million.
