Peru’s trade balance surplus narrowed in April 2026, with the indicator slipping to 3,304 million from 4,157 million in March 2026, according to the latest data updated on 12 June 2026. The figures point to a moderation in the country’s external surplus after a stronger performance in the previous month.
The month‑on‑month decline suggests a weakening in net export momentum, either through softer export revenues, higher import demand, or a combination of both. While the trade balance remains firmly in surplus territory, the April result marks a notable pullback from March’s level and may prompt analysts to reassess the strength and sustainability of recent external-sector gains.
Market participants and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases closely to determine whether April’s outcome represents the start of a broader trend or a temporary adjustment after March’s elevated reading.
