Lima (ANDINA). Peru’s net international reserves (NIRs) at August 16 amounted to US$48.35 billion, which provides an adequate financial shield against external shocks, the Central Reserve Bank said Saturday.

This level of reserves is US$674 million higher than the one recorded at the close of July and US$7.9 billion higher than a year earlier.

The increase of NIRs registered so far this month is mainly explained by banks’ higher deposits (US$ 329 million) and by the higher valuation of investments (US$ 341 million).

The exchange rate position of the BCRP at August 16 was US$ 31.80 billion. This amount is US$ 342 million higher than the one recorded at the close of July.

Meanwhile, Peru’s GDP registered a growth rate of 5.3 percent in June and thus accumulated a rate of 7.7 percent in the first half of the year and a rate of 6.7 percent in Q2.

In terms of sectors, increased activity was noteworthy in the sectors of commerce, services –especially transport and communications, financial services, and services rendered to enterprises and hotels–, and non primary manufacturing.

In August 9-16, the average interbank ask price of the dollar fell from S/. 2.748 to S/. 2.742, which represented an appreciation of the nuevo sol of 0.24 percent. The Central Bank did not intervene in the foreign exchange market in this period.

Peru’s insurance industry is likely to continue with strong growth across all business lines due to a good macroeconomic outlook and industry players’ growing managerial sophistication, ratings agency Moody’s wrote in a report.

“We expect premium volume to grow across most lines, including surety, cargo and homeowners, automobile, and life insurance, annuities and pensions,” said Moody’s analyst Diego Nemirovsky.

Peru’s insurers have remained well capitalized after the 2008 financial crisis, and the ratings agency expects this trend to continue, reflecting the improvement in financial markets, good profitability and a strengthening of underwriting conditions.

But Nemirovsky also noted several challenges for the industry, including high market concentration, low penetration of insurance products relative to regional peers and Peru’s geographical vulnerability to natural disasters.

Peruvian President Ollanta Humala has declared the country will be able to continue on its path of economic development, include all citizens and respect its trade agreements.

Speaking at an APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) Business Advisory Meeting in Lima, the new president said both local and foreign entrepreneurs would be given all the facilities and guarantees to help develop their industries Peru.

“Peru respects what it signs, puts clear laws in place and fights against corruption,” Humala was quoted as saying.

He said countries in the Asia-Pacific region needed to make the most of the global situation to improve their economies. He highlighted that while Peru had natural resources, this was not enough to improve the lives of everyone, spurring a need for investment in technology.

Humala also expressed his concern in resolving some 200 conflicts that have affected both the country and investments, but the government was making efforts to overcome these challenges.

He said the relationships between private companies – especially in the mining sector – and the state would soon be clarified.

The president gave thanks to both local and foreign companies for the support they give to the state in encouraging the market.
