Peru aims to surpass $140 billion in exports by 2040, driven by the implementation of the National Multisectoral Foreign Trade Policy (PNMCE), which is designed to strengthen the competitiveness of the country’s foreign trade sector, according to the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).
In collaboration with representatives from the public sector and business associations, Mincetur monitored the progress of the National Multisectoral Foreign Trade Policy (PNMCE) for 2040 during a session of the Permanent Joint Multisectoral Commission for the National Strategic Export Plan (PENX).
During the session—chaired by the Vice Minister of Foreign Trade, Sayuri Bayona Matsuda—an assessment of the 2015–2025 National Strategic Export Plan (PENX) was presented.
During this period, Peruvian exports of goods and services grew from approximately $34 billion to over $91 billion, reaching historic highs despite a complex international environment.
These results, along with the tools developed, form the foundation upon which the new PNMCE policy—which includes five priority objectives—is now being implemented.
The PNMCE 2040, approved via Supreme Decree 010-2025-Mincetur, establishes five priority objectives and encompasses 40 services managed by 21 public entities.
Its purpose is to strengthen the competitiveness of Peru’s foreign trade and help the country’s exports exceed $140 billion by 2040.
“The results of the last decade demonstrate that when the State and the private sector work in a coordinated manner, foreign trade grows. With the PNMCE (National Policy for Multimodal Foreign Trade) 2040, we have a roadmap to continue moving forward, and its success depends on the commitment of each of the entities present here today,” stated Deputy Minister Bayona.
Sectoral contributions
From January to August 2026, Peruvian exports reached $74.122 billion, representing a 34.3% increase compared to the same period in 2025.
Representatives from various sectors and business associations shared their input on the policy’s implementation. They agreed on the importance of maintaining public-private coordination for monitoring purposes and aligning the efforts of all entities to advance toward the 2040 objectives.
