ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: APRIL 2026
SUMMARY
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew 3.7 percent year-on-year in April and 3.6 percent in the January-April period. In the month, primary GDP contracted 1.4 percent, mainly due to the contraction of the hydrocarbon sector; in addition to adverse factors observed in previous months, the maintenance of the Melchorita natural gas liquefaction plant was added, which halted extraction in gas lots for export. Meanwhile, non-primary GDP expanded 5.3 percent, explained by the boost in construction and services, as well as high growth in the trade sector during the month. In April, formal employment increased 4.0 percent, accumulating a growth of 4.3 percent in the January-April period. During the month, employment in the private sector increased 5.0 percent, mainly due to higher employment in the services, trade, and agricultural sectors. In April, the average formal income increased 3.5 percent in real terms, accumulating a growth of 3.2 percent in the January-April period and 3.8 percent compared to the similar period of 2019. Total wage bill increased 7.6 percent year-on-year in real terms in the month and 7.8 percent in the January-April period. ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: APRIL 2026 INDEX

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY: APRIL 2026
I. Sectoral GDP

1. Gross Domestic Product grew 3.7 percent year-on-year in April. Primary GDP contracted 1.4 percent in the month, mainly explained by the contraction of hydrocarbons. This is due to circumstances observed in previous months (lower yield of lot 95 and termination of exploitation contracts), to which was added the maintenance of the Melchorita liquefaction plant, which paralyzed activities in gas lots for export (56 and 57). Meanwhile, metallic mining contracted mainly due to lower zinc extraction from Antamina. Finally, agricultural production decreased because recent heat and rains affected coffee and cocoa production; there was overproduction of mango and olives last year; and the delay in this campaign's rain cycle affected the production of Andean products, such as potatoes and forages.
2. Non-primary GDP grew 5.3 percent year-on-year in April. The strong dynamism of construction and services continued, and trade growth of 7.3 percent in the month stood out, a rate not seen since the first quarter of 2022.

Productive sectors
Agricultural Sector (weight of 6.2 percent)
4. The agricultural sector decreased 1.6 percent in April, due to lower production oriented both to the external market (olives, coffee, grapes, cocoa, and mango) and the internal market (potatoes and forages). This result was partially mitigated by higher production of rice, sugarcane, asparagus, avocado, and poultry meat.
Table 2
BCRPData/NEPBI202604C2
5. Agricultural production oriented to the domestic market decreased 0.5 percent in April due to lower production of potatoes and forages in the Andean region, given the delay in rains at the end of 2025. This was partially mitigated by higher rice production, due to a base effect from the same month of the previous year, when production was low due to delays in rains corresponding to that campaign.
6. Agro-industrial production increased 15.5 percent due to higher sugarcane production, due to fewer technical shutdown days; and yellow hard corn, due to increased plantings in Amazonas, Cajamarca, and La Libertad given greater water availability compared to last year.
7. Production oriented to export decreased 11.9 percent due to a base effect of overproduction in the same month of the previous year for olives and mango; due to lower coffee and cocoa harvests, due to the sanitary impact of intense rains and warm conditions at the beginning of the year; and due to lower grape production. This result was mitigated by

Fishing Sector (weight of 0.4 percent)
10. In April, fishing production registered an increase of 1.7 percent. This result was mainly due to higher catches destined for direct human consumption and, to a lesser extent, to higher anchoveta catches in the north-central region. The increase for the month was partially offset by the lower availability of trout, which affected the performance of continental fishing.

11. Marine fishing for human consumption grew 6.6 percent year-on-year in April, mainly due to higher catches of squid, tuna, cojinova, and bonito. The result was partially offset by lower shrimp catches. Continental fishing saw a reduction of 16.7 percent due to lower trout availability and the loss of 2.5 million of this species due to pollution in the Yuracyacu River (Junín).
12. On January 1, PRODUCE authorized the start of the first anchoveta fishing season in the southern zone, with a quota of 251 thousand TM. In April, the total catch was 1.8 thousand TM (0.7 percent of the quota), achieving an accumulated catch of 65.9 percent of the quota.
13. On April 9, the Ministry of Production authorized the start of the first anchoveta fishing season in the north-central zone, with a quota of 1.9 million TM. This quota reflects a lower biomass that has been observed since the second season of 2025. In April, the total catch was 0.4 million TM (23.1 percent of the quota) and in May, approximately 0.03 million TM would have been caught (24.6 percent of the quota progress). The Ministry of Production ordered the temporary suspension of anchoveta extractive activities from April 24 to May 3, as part of actions aimed at preserving biomass and ensuring the sustainability of the first season. Subsequently, it again suspended fishing from May 8 to 13, with extensions that prolonged the measure until June 10. Finally, in its last resolution on June 10, it ordered the indefinite suspension of the season1.
14. According to NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, the sea surface temperature anomaly in the Niño 1+2 zone was 1.31°C in April, 1.81°C in May, and 2.65°C as of June 10.

15. The ENFEN Multisectoral Commission2 maintains the “Coastal El Niño Alert” status. For the Niño 1+2 region, the Coastal El Niño would extend until next summer of 2027, with a higher probability of presenting a strong magnitude between June and September, then decreasing to moderate until December. For the 2026 - 2027 summer, the event is expected to reach a magnitude between strong (48 percent) and moderate (46 percent). Regarding fishing resources, for the coming weeks, the intensification of warm conditions is expected to continue altering the vertical and latitudinal distribution of the north-central anchoveta stock. In the northern and central coastal zone of Peru, the unusual presence of fish species associated with warm and oceanic waters would continue.
16. In May, the Paita, Chicama, and Chimbote stations increased the positive anomaly observed the previous month. With information as of June 11, this trend continues in the northern stations of the country and has extended to the central stations.

Mining and Hydrocarbons Sector (weight of 12.1 percent)
17. The mining and hydrocarbons sector decreased 3.2 percent year-on-year in April. In the month, the result reflected lower production of zinc, molybdenum, silver, and lead. In addition, hydrocarbon production registered a sharp drop in the month due to the maintenance of the Melchorita liquefaction plant, which paralyzed export lots (56 and 57).

18. In April, copper production increased 4.3 percent year-on-year due to higher processing and a base effect.
Higher processing was recorded at Antamina, Quellaveco, and Antapaccay. Part of Antamina's increase responds to a base effect, given that in April 2025, it paralyzed its operations in the last week of the month due to an accident within its facilities. The growth for the month was partially offset by lower production from Chinalco, Cerro Verde, and lower grades from Las Bambas and Marcobre.

20. In April, zinc production decreased 20.2 percent, mainly due to lower grades from Antamina and lower extraction from Volcan and Nexa. Silver and lead production decreased 3.8 and 17.8 percent, respectively. In both cases, the lower contribution from Antamina and Volcan stands out. Likewise, molybdenum production decreased 1.1 percent due to lower grades from Southern and lower processing from Constancia.
21. Iron production increased by 2.1 percent due to Shougang, while tin production grew 12.6 percent due to Minsur.
22. Hydrocarbon production decreased 24.7 percent year-on-year in April. Oil production decreased (-33.1 percent), due to lower yield from lot 95 and the termination of contracts for lots II, VI, and XV. Likewise, natural gas liquids production decreased (-14.5 percent) and natural gas production decreased (-28.8 percent) due to the maintenance of the Melchorita plant, which paralyzed export lots (56 and 57) from April 1 to 27.
