In November 2025, Peru witnessed an expansion in its trade surplus, reaching USD 3,731.5 million compared to USD 3,225.2 million in the same month the previous year. This growth can be attributed to a 10.1% year-on-year rise in exports, totaling USD 8,663.1 million. The boost in exports was mainly due to a significant increase in traditional products (13.7%), alongside growth in non-traditional products (1.3%) and other product categories (13.4%). Simultaneously, imports saw a 6.3% rise from the prior year, amounting to USD 4,931.6 million, with notable increases in consumer goods (9.8%), raw materials and intermediate goods (1.4%), and capital goods (12%). However, imports of other goods experienced a significant contraction of 55.4%. For the cumulative period from January to November, Peru's trade surplus significantly rose to USD 82,706 million, up from USD 69,323 million recorded in the same timeframe the preceding year.
