Last June, Peru’s trade balance registered a trade surplus of US$29 million; the first positive result during the current year, Peru’s Central Bank announced.
The outcome was due to exports valued at US$3.102 billion and imports worth US$3.071 billion.
With regard to May 2015, the result meant a US$291 million increase thanks to traditional exports (US$459 million) and non-traditional ones (US$12 million).
Traditional exports were boosted by larger shipments of fish flour and copper, whereas the agricultural sector contributed to the expansion of non-traditional exports.
