Peru's terms of trade increased 16.5% last April, compared to the same month in 2020, the
Central Reserve Bank (BCR) has reported.
This result was favored by the increase of 36.3% in export prices, due to higher prices of gold, zinc, copper, and fishmeal, while import prices witnessed a rise of 17.0%.
Thus, the BCR said, the country's terms of trade saw 12 consecutive months of year-on-year growth.
This growth took place in the context of commodity price improvement in international markets.
