The BCP Foreign Trade report details that, as of the eighth month of the year, registered exports represented 72.6% of the total, reaching USD 6,790.6 million, 6.9% lower than the accumulated value as of August 2021.
Re-exports, on the other hand, with 23% of the total, registered a value of USD 2,147.0 million, with an increase of 24.9% compared to the same period last year.
Other exports, with a 4.4% share, registered a decrease of 15.1% compared to the accumulated value as of August of the previous year, standing at a level of USD 414.8 million.

Shipments made under the maquila regime reached USD 670.2 million, 19.7% higher than what was registered in the eighth month of 2021.
As of August 2022, total imports reached USD 9,938.7 million, 25.5% higher than the same period of the previous year. Read More…
