Study Note No. 55: Inflation - July 2026

BCRP STUDY NOTES No. 55 - August 14, 2026 1 / 31 INFLATION: JULY 2026

1. In July 2026, a monthly inflation rate of 0.29 percent and 4.07 percent over the last 12 months was recorded. BCRPData/NEINF202607G1

2. The main upward contributions to monthly inflation were from fresh fish, meals outside the home, other fresh fruits, and papaya, while chicken meat, vehicle fuels, potatoes, and fresh legumes contributed to the decrease. BCRPData/NEINF202607C1

Main price increases of the month • Chicken meat (11.4 percent): The price increase is explained by demand dynamics, reflected in the lower average weight of chicken, which decreased by 2.5 percent compared to the June average (the average weight in July remained at 2.63 kg per unit against 2.70 kg in the previous month). In this month, household liquidity increased due to national holiday bonuses; IPC Percentage variation of July -0.17 0.48 0.56 0.19 0.36 0.79 0.09 0.55 0.43 0.45 0.08 0.20 0.38 0.20 0.46 1.01 0.94 0.39 0.24 0.23 0.29 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 IPC Percentage variation of July Average 06-26 0.39 CONTRIBUTION TO INFLATION: JULY 2026 CPI base Dec. 2021=100 Positive Weight Var.% Contribution Index item/ Negative Weight Var.% Contribution Index item/ CPI CPI Chicken meat 2.7 11.4 0.26 92.8 Papaya 0.2 -13.0 -0.05 132.5 National land transport 0.3 18.7 0.04 94.1 Vehicle fuels 1.1 -4.1 -0.04 92.5 Meals outside the home 15.5 0.2 0.03 105.9 Potato 0.7 -4.5 -0.04 119.3 National air transport 0.2 15.5 0.03 82.4 Other fresh fruits 0.6 -3.6 -0.03 149.8 Tomato 0.2 10.3 0.02 115.6 Fresh marine fish 0.7 -4.0 -0.03 117.3 Eggs 0.7 1.7 0.01 114.9 Onion 0.2 -6.7 -0.02 119.3 Whole chili pepper 0.1 22.6 0.01 124.9 Motor vehicles 1.6 -0.7 -0.01 85.7 Domestic and household services 2.2 0.6 0.01 92.3 Domestic gas 0.8 -1.1 -0.01 83.8 Education 8.6 0.1 0.01 103.6 Electricity 2.6 -0.3 -0.01 79.4 Telephones 0.5 2.5 0.01 83.9 Carrot 0.1 -3.9 -0.01 133.2 Total 0.43 Total -0.25

BCRP STUDY NOTES No. 55 - August 14, 2026 2 / 31 also contributed to this result the celebration of the Roasted Chicken Day and the long weekend for National Holidays. • National land transport and national air transport (18.7 percent and 15.5 percent): The increase in ticket fares is explained by the seasonal increase in demand due to the long weekend that combined the Air Force Day (July 23) and National Holidays (July 28 and 29). • Meals outside the home (0.2 percent): The largest price increases were recorded in broaster chicken (0.7 percent), pizzas and chaufa rice (0.6 percent each), regional broths and soups and grilled meat (0.5 percent each), ceviche (0.3 percent) and menu in restaurants (0.1 percent). • Tomato (10.3 percent): The supply to Lima and Ica decreased compared to June (-5.3 percent and -9.5 percent, respectively) due to lower yields as a result of higher temperatures on the coast. • Egg (1.7 percent): The higher price is due to the lower yield of laying hens due to heat stress in Lima. • Whole chili pepper (22.6 percent): The price increase is explained by the higher price of yellow chili escabeche (47.0 percent), whose supply from the Lima valleys decreased by 17.8 percent compared to the previous month. The lower supply is due to the decrease in yields due to the month's anomalous high temperatures.

Main price decreases of the month • Papaya (-13.0 percent): The average inflows from Ucayali in July increased by 6.4 percent compared to June following a decrease in precipitation in the region during the month of July. • Vehicle fuels (-4.1 percent): The item mainly reflected the dynamics of final gasohol prices (-4.8 percent). The price of gasohols was a consequence of the lower retail margin of gas stations (-29.2 percent), which more than compensated for the increase in refinery price (1.6 percent). The increase in refinery price was driven by the recovery of the gap (69.9 percent) with respect to the international parity price, which, in contrast, registered a decrease of 4.0 percent. • Potato (-6.0 percent): The price of white potato decreased (-5.6 percent) due to the development of the large campaign in the central highlands. In July, the supply of white potato from Junín increased by 25.8 percent compared to June and that from Ica increased by 412.8 percent (it went from an average of 72.9 daily tons in June to 373.8 daily tons in July). • Other fresh fruits (-0.4 percent): It mainly reflects the lower price of blueberry (-16.2 percent), due to the increase in supply from the regions of Lambayeque and Ica by 60.5 percent, with the start of the harvest season of the year. The price of mango decreased (-5.0 percent) due to higher inflows of the Edward and Haden varieties from Piura.

BCRP STUDY NOTES No. 55 - August 14, 2026 3 / 31 • Fresh marine fish (-4.0 percent): The price of bonito decreased by 11.3 percent due to greater supply compared to June (169.5 percent). This occurred after the decrease in anomalous wave heights that led to the reopening of ports from the second week of the month. • Onion (-4.6 percent): The lower price is due to a greater supply from the province of Camaná (increase of 17.4 percent in shipments compared to June) along with an increase in shipments of the better quality product from the Lima valleys (37.7 percent compared to the previous month.

BCRP STUDY NOTES No. 55 - August 14, 2026 4 / 31 Evolution of annual inflation to July 3. The annual inflation of July (4.07 percent) was higher than that of June (4.01 percent). The result responds mainly to the increase in chicken meat (from -2.5 to 14.4 percent), eggs (from -1.3 to 3.8 percent) and noodles (-11.7 to -7.7 percent). BCRPData/NEINF202607G2

4. In July, inflation excluding food and energy (SAE) was 0.28 percent in the month and 4.57 percent over the last twelve months (4.46 percent in June). The result reflects the annual acceleration of national air transport (from 8.8 to 16.5 percent) and national land transport (from 9.5 to 12.6 percent). 4.07 4.57 3.48 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Jul-23 Oct-23 Jan-24 Apr-24 Jul-24 Oct-24 Jan-25 Apr-25 Jul-25 Oct-25 Jan-26 Apr-26 Jul-26 INFLATION (Percentage variation last twelve months) Inflation Inflation excluding food and energy Food and energy Maximum Minimum Inflation target range Avg. 01-25 2022 2023 2024 2025 Jul-26 Inflation: 2.9% 8.46% 3.24% 1.97% 1.51% 4.07% Excluding food and energy: 2.3% 5.59% 2.90% 2.60% 1.83% 4.57% Food and energy: 3.5% 12.02% 3.63% 1.23% 1.13% 3.48% Jun-25 Jul-25 Aug-25 Sep-25 Oct-25 Nov-25 Dec-25 Jan-26 Feb-26 Mar-26 Apr-26 May-26 Jun-26 Jul-26 Total Inflation Monthly 0.13 0.23 -0.29 0.01 -0.10 0.11 0.24 0.10 0.69 2.38 0.52 -0.16 0.23 0.29 12 months 1.69 1.69 1.11 1.36 1.35 1.37 1.51 1.70 2.21 3.80 4.01 3.91 4.01 4.07 Inflation excluding food and energy Monthly 0.07 0.18 0.08 0.06 0.04 0.06 0.46 0.04 0.36 2.07 0.87 0.09 0.08 0.28 12 months 1.69 1.68 1.75 1.81 1.77 1.77 1.83 2.02 2.20 3.65 4.41 4.44 4.46 4.57 Food and energy prices (Percentage variation) Monthly 0.20 0.29 -0.72 -0.04 -0.27 0.17 -0.01 0.16 1.08 2.74 0.12 -0.45 0.40 0.29 12 months 1.70 1.70 0.36 0.83 0.86 0.91 1.13 1.32 2.23 3.98 3.56 3.28 3.48 3.48

BCRP STUDY NOTES No. 55 - August 14, 2026 18 / 31

17. The largest increases occurred in Chimbote (0.72), Ica (0.64), Tacna (0.54), and Huancavelica (0.53). The increases were mainly in fish, domestic air transport, and fruits.

In Chimbote, the result was explained by the rise in prices of meats and sausages due to increased production costs, associated with the higher cost of imported inputs such as yellow corn and soy, used in the preparation of balanced feeds. Also, the payment of bonuses, the long holiday, and increased tourist traffic boosted meat demand. The increase in fruit prices was associated with seasonal factors and lower availability of agricultural products. Fish and seafood prices increased due to oceanographic factors, such as variations in temperature and marine currents on the coast, which reduced the availability and landings of high-demand species.

In Ica, the month's result was explained by the rise in the price of chicken (3.5 percent), due to lower intake of live chickens at slaughter and distribution centers due to the effects of avian flu, as well as the increase in the price of beef (1.2 percent), due to the suspension of the municipal slaughterhouse in Ica, which forced the transfer of livestock for slaughter to slaughterhouses in other cities, such as Chincha, with the consequent higher freight cost. Accommodation services increased by 6.0 percent due to the greater flow of tourists during the National Holidays.

In Tacna, the result was explained by higher prices of meats (3.2 percent), particularly chicken and pork; fruits (5.2 percent), highlighting lemons and papaya due to lower supply from producer zones in the north and east of the country, as well as grapes and granadilla due to seasonal supply factors in other regions; and fish and seafood (3.23 percent), due to their lower availability in the region's ports and coves.

18. The cities with the highest inflations over the last 12 months were Puerto Maldonado (8.0), Arequipa (4.1), Moquegua (4.1), and Huancayo (4.0). The increases occurred mainly in fuels and lubricants and domestic land and air transport.

Inflation in regional countries1

22. In June 2026, annual inflation increased in most of the main countries in the region, with the exception of Brazil and Mexico, with only the latter country having inflation within the target range.

23. Underlying inflation had a mixed variation in the countries of the region: it increased in Chile and Peru, decreased in Brazil and Mexico, and remained stable in Colombia. Underlying inflation was within the target range in Chile and Mexico (at the upper limit).

24. In June, the variation in food prices increased in most economies, with the exception of Brazil and Mexico. In this country, a lower increase in vegetable prices (especially tomatoes and peppers) was observed, as well as a greater contraction in fruit prices (bananas, pineapple, and grapes) and pork and chicken meat.

Chile had the largest increase in the annual variation of food prices, mainly in beef, bread and bakery products, vegetables and legumes, and potatoes. For the case of Colombia, which continues to register the highest variation, prices remain high for beef, fresh fruits, onions, and potatoes, which compensated for the moderation observed in banana and coffee prices.

25. Most countries registered a 5 annual variation in energy prices, in line with the decrease in international oil prices resulting from the ceasefire between the USA and Iran reached in the second week of June. In the case of Brazil, lower prices for domestic fuel (natural gas and cylinder) and residential electricity energy were recorded, after the yellow tariff flag was maintained (with an increase in the electricity bill of 1.885 reais for every 100 kWh consumed).

In the case of Chile, the growth in energy prices moderated, mainly vehicle fuel, which compensated for the increase in gas prices.

On the contrary, in Colombia, the increase in vehicle fuel prices remained unchanged, but higher gas prices and electricity tariffs were evident.

26. In July, expected inflation for 2026 showed a decreasing trend in most countries in the region, with the exception of Colombia and Peru. This revision for most countries is due to execution below expectations in recent inflation data following a partial normalization of fuel prices and a reversal of food supply shocks (mainly Mexico and Chile). For the year 2026, expected inflation in most countries would be above their target ranges, except for Chile and Mexico, where it would be positioned at the upper limit.

For 2027, expected inflation increased in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Despite this, the expected result would be lower than that of 2026 in all countries, so that inflation would be within the target range of the main economies, with the exception of Colombia.

27. The Multilateral Real Exchange Rate - TCRM - decreased in July (-0.35 percent), mainly due to the decrease in the Multilateral Nominal Exchange Rate - TCNM (-0.20 percent) and, to a lesser extent, due to higher internal inflation compared to external inflation.

28. The Multilateral Nominal Exchange Rate - TCNM - decreased by 0.20 percent due to the appreciation of the sol against the euro (-0.84 percent) and the Chinese yuan (-0.18 percent). The appreciation of the sol against the euro and Chinese yuan is mainly due to the depreciation of these same currencies against the dollar (0.71 and 0.04 percent, respectively).

30. The evolution of bilateral real exchange rates in July reflected the results of the evolution of nominal exchange rates. In terms of contributions to the reduction of the TCRM, the decrease in the bilateral real exchange rate - TCRB - with the Eurozone and China stands out.

31. The bilateral real exchange rate - TCRB - with the United States decreased by 0.47 percent in the month, mainly due to nominal appreciation (-0.13 percent). Year-on-year, the TCRB decreased by 5.08 percent in July, remaining below its long-term average. This year-on-year reduction in the TCRB is mainly due to the strengthening of the sol against the dollar, which recorded an appreciation of 4.39 percent.
