Peru's terms of trade increased 7.3% last year compared to 2016, after five years of negative growth, Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCR) reported Wednesday.
According to the issuing entity, such result was driven by higher export prices —an increase of 13.1%— mainly of basic metals.
Said figure is higher than the import prices figure of 5.4%.
