The Economy

Gross Domestic Product and the Structure of the Economy

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, Peru’s economy expanded 4.1% in real terms based on GDP growth and domestic demand increased 1.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to public and private consumption.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, private consumption grew by 3.5% in real terms and gross private investment decreased by 4.6%, as compared to the same period in 2015. Public sector investment increased 16.5% in six months ended June 30, 2016 due mainly to an increase in investments by regional governments and municipal governments, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Private investment decreased 4.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to a decrease in the investment in the mining sector. Total gross investment during six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased 7.2% compared to six months ended June 30, 2015.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016 and compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, public savings reached 5.0% and 7.0% of GDP, respectively, due to an increase in public investment.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, domestic savings decreased to 19.4% of GDP from 20.6% of GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to a decrease in public sector savings.

External savings, as a percentage of GDP, decreased to 4.4% of GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 5.4% of GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Domestic investment as a percentage of GDP decreased to 23.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 26.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in private investments as a consequence of the finalization of the pre-operative phase of projects in the mining industry and a decrease in inventories which was partially offset by an increase in public sector investment.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, GDP grew 4.1%, compared to the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily driven by an increased production in mining, fuel, construction and other services. In terms of contribution to GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016, mining and fuel accounted for 13.8%, construction accounted for 5.5% and other services accounted for 49.1%. In total, the primary and secondary sectors contributed an aggregate of 40.0% to GDP in six months ended June 30, 2016.

Primary Production

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, primary production increased by 11.9% compared to the same period in 2015, due to increased production in, mining and fuel and agriculture and livestock. In terms of contribution to GDP, agriculture and livestock accounted for 5.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2016. In total, the primary sector contributed 20.0% to GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Agriculture and Livestock

The Peruvian agriculture and livestock sector is dominated by small-scale producers. The sector contributed 6.0% and 5.9% to GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

Peru’s main agricultural products are potatoes, corn, rice, coffee, fruits and vegetables, which together accounted for approximately 68.8% and 68.9% of agricultural production in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016.

Peru’s main agricultural export products are coffee, cotton and sugar, which together accounted for approximately 10.7% and 11.4% of agricultural production in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the agriculture and livestock sector grew 1.0% compared to the first six months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to a growth in the production of poultry, milk, pork and eggs and a favorable climatic conditions for the production of coffee, rice, grapes, cocoa and olives, which was offset by a lower production of corn, sugarcane, cotton and potato.

Fishing

Fishing is a small part of the Peruvian economy, contributing 0.3% to GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Traditional fish products, however, are Peru’s fourth largest single export after mining and petroleum and natural gas, accounting for 7.0% and 6.6% of exports in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, considering both traditional (fish meal and fish oil) and non-traditional exports (frozen crustaceans and mollusks, frozen fish, and prepared and canned food).

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the fishing sector decreased by 41.9% compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to a decrease in anchovies for indirect human consumption. The extraction of anchovies in the six months ended June 30, 2016 reached 719,516 tons and compared to the same period of 2015 had a variation of 73.0%.

Mining and Hydrocarbons

The mining and hydrocarbons sector grew in the six months ended June 30, 2016 by 19.8% compared to the same period in 2015 due to an increase in mining production of 26.9% offset by decreased hydrocarbons extraction of 9.2%.

Mining. Peru is a leading producer of gold, silver, tin, copper, lead and zinc in Latin America. Although mining constitutes a small part of the country’s GDP, contributing 9.3% to GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016, mineral products are Peru’s main export and they accounted for 55.6% and 59.3% of total exports by value in the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Gold and copper accounted for 21.4% (U.S.$ 3.4 billion) and 26.7% (U.S.$ 4.2 billion) of total exports by value, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 19.9% (U.S.$ 3.3 billion) and 22.5% (U.S.$ 3.7 billion) of total exports by value, respectively, during the same period in 2015. In addition, copper accounted for 45.1% of the total mining exports, in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 40.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2015.

 

6


Hydrocarbons. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the hydrocarbon sector decreased 9.2% as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to lower levels of production of crude oil and liquid natural gas.

Secondary Production

Manufacturing

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the manufacturing sector decreased by 5.3% as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to primary manufacturing activity, which decreased by 14.5% and a decrease of 1.8% in non-primary manufacturing activity.

Primary manufacturing. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the primary manufacturing sector decreased by 14.5% compared to the same period in 2015, due in part to a better performance in the production and preservation of fish, shellfish, sugar and beef.

Non-primary manufacturing. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, non-primary manufacturing decreased 1.8%, as compared to the same period in 2015, mainly due to a decrease in the production of capital intermediate, consumer goods, and capital.

Construction

The construction sector increased 1.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2016 and contributed 5.5% to GDP. This decrease was associated with an increase in the internal consumption of cement and an increase in the progress of investment projects.

Electricity, Water and Gas

Electricity. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the electricity sub-sector grew 10.2% due to an increase in the production of electricity in thermal power plants and hydropower plants, compared to the same period in 2015.

Water. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, water grew 1.2% due to the increase in the production volumes of SEDAPAL, SEDAPAR and SEDALIB.

Gas. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, gas increased 9.1% due to growth in the demand of gas from electricity generating plants and other and industries partially offset by a decrease in the distribution of natural gas in the industrial sector.

Services

Wholesale and Retail Trade

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, wholesale and retail trade increased by 2.5% due primarily to a 3.2% increase in wholesale and a 3.0% in retail commerce, offset by a 5.1% reduction of the sale of automobiles.

Other Services

The private sector in Peru offers a variety of services constituting the “Other Services” sector of Peru’s GDP that in aggregate is an important part of the Peruvian economy. The Other Services sector includes services to companies, government services, transportation and communication, healthcare and education services, tourism and financial services. In aggregate, this sector grew 4.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015.

Based on an audit undertaken of the public sector, the total amount of public employees as of June 30, 2016 was 2,035,156 of which 42.4% are active workers, 44.1% are pensioners and 13.5% are non-personal service workers. Most public employees are placed in regional governments, economy and finance and education ministries.

Privatization and Concessions

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, concessions and privatizations were U.S.$ 1.7 billion and U.S.$ 0.4 billion, respectively, in projected investments. Significant investments were made in energy, and telecommunications and penitentiary systems. Of special importance was the U.S.$1.7 billion telecommunication concession.

Balance Of Payments And Foreign Trade

Balance of Payments

The balance of payments accounts are used to record the value of the transactions carried out between a country’s residents and the rest of the world. The balance of payments is composed of:

 

    the current account, which comprises:

 

  Ø   net exports of goods and services;

 

  Ø   net financial and investment income; and

 

  Ø   net transfers; and

 

    the capital account, which is the difference between financial capital inflows and financial capital outflows.

Current Account

One of the most important aspects of the current account is the trade balance. The four primary factors that impact the trade balance are the following:

 

    The relative rate of economic growth of a country compared to that of its trading partners. Generally, if a country’s economy grows faster than that of its trading partners, its relative level of consumption of goods and services will tend to rise and its level of imports will tend to increase more rapidly than its level of exports.

 

    The relative level of domestic prices against foreign prices, as reflected by the real exchange rate. Generally, if a country’s domestic prices rise relative to those of its trading partners, there is a tendency for the country’s exports to decrease and for its level of imports to increase.

 

9


    Changes in production costs, technology and worker skills. More efficient production will tend to lower production costs, which in turn will tend to lower prices. As prices fall, there is a tendency for the country’s exports to increase.

 

    Changes in consumer tastes, which may affect the demand for a country’s goods and services abroad and the demand for foreign products in the domestic market.

Peru’s current account registered a deficit of U.S.$ 4.1 billion, or 4.4% of GDP in the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease of U.S.$ 4.4 billion in financial and investment inflows.

Trade Balance

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, exports decreased by 3.1%, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower prices of petroleum and derivative products compared to the same period in 2015, as well as the contraction in traditional exports to Canada and Spain and non-traditional exports to Colombia. Imports decreased by 9.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, principally as a result of imports of intermediate goods and raw materials for manufacturing.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, Peru’s exports consisted primarily of exports of:

 

    traditional mineral exports, such as gold, silver, copper, zinc and lead, valued at U.S.$9.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing 59.3% of total exports in such period, and valued at U.S.$9.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing 55.6% of total exports for such period;

 

    petroleum and derivative products valued at U.S.$0.8 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing 5.1% of total exports in such period, and valued at U.S.$1.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing 7.7% of total exports for such period;

 

    traditional fishing exports, such as fishmeal and fish oil, valued at U.S.$0.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing 4.0% of total exports in such period, and valued at U.S.$ 0.6 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing 3.7% of total exports for such period;

 

    non-traditional textile exports, such as textile fibers and cloth, valued at U.S.$ 0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing 3.7% of total exports in such period, and valued at U.S.$ 0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing 4.1% of total exports for such period; and

 

    non-traditional agriculture and livestock exports valued at U.S.$ 2.0 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing 12.3% of total exports in such period, and valued at U.S.$1.9 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing 11.8% of total exports for such period.

Capital Account

The capital account reflects foreign direct investment and monetary flows into and out of a nation’s financial markets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the capital account balance decreased by 63.6%, compared to the same period ended 2015. This decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2016 was due primarily to lower levels of other medium- and long-term capital.

Foreign Direct Investment

Peru has an open investment regime and a legal framework that generally promotes and protects foreign investment. The basis of this open investment regime was established in 1991 through the Foreign Investment Promotion Law and the Private Investment Growth Framework Law, as amended. This framework allows both foreign and domestic investors to enter into legal stability agreements with the Government.

 

14


In the six months ended June 30, 2016, foreign direct investment decreased to U.S.$2.5 billion primarily due to decreased equity capital and net liabilities to capitalize enterprises.

For the 2015-2016 period and based on Peru’s privatization and concession initiatives, the Government has announced a portfolio of 6 projects with aggregate value of U.S.$2.4 billion to promote private investments. The projects include initiatives in telecommunications, energy, and penitentiary systems.

The Monetary System

Monetary Policy

The inflation rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.29% (which was above the Central Bank’s target annual inflation rate for the period, set between 1% and 3%).

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Central Bank maintained the reference rate to 4.25% as of June 30, 2016. The reference rate was maintained at such rate since March 2016 (after three adjustments were made in December 2015, January and February 2016).

    the Government;

 

    the Government’s various decentralized administrative and regulatory agencies, such as:

 

  Ø   ESSALUD; and

 

  Ø   the National Superintendency for Tax Administration, or SUNAT;

 

    the local governments; and

 

    non-financial state-owned enterprises, such as Petroperu; and Empresa de Electricidad del Perú S.A., or Electroperu.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, the non-financial public sector surplus was U.S.$0.6 billion, or 0.7% of GDP, lower than the same period in 2015 (U.S.$2.8 billion or 3.0% of GDP) due primarily to the decrease in tax revenue that resulted from the impact of tax measures adopted by the government, and higher government spending.

Government expenditures consist primarily of:

 

    wages of public sector employees;

 

    transfers to public sector entities;

 

    interest payments on debt;

 

    public investments in infrastructure; and

 

    pension expenditures.

In the six months ended June 30, 2016, total Government expenditures were U.S.$ 15.2 billion, or 16.3 % of GDP, compared to U.S.$ 16.1 billion, or 17.0 % of GDP, in the same period in 2015.
