Peru’s Net International Reserves (NIR) amounted to US$ 32.22 billion by September 15th, 266 million more than September’s closing, the Peruvian Central Reserve Bank (BCR) reported Saturday.
This increase is mainly explained by the higher valuation of investments (US$ 183 million), by banks’ higher deposits (US$ 94 million), and by swap operations (US$ 13 million).
This result was in part offset by lower public sector deposits (US$ 99 million).
BCR’s international investment position by September 15 was 21.71 billion dollars, US$ 272 million more than August’s closing.
Between September 8 and 15, the daily average of the 90-day corporate rate in domestic currency fell from 1.82 to 1.79 percent, while this rate in dollars increased from 1.34 to 1.37 percent
So far this month, the average daily interbank interest rate is 1.21 percent, lower than the average rate of July (1.34 percent).
On September 15th, the interbank interest rate in domestic currency recorded 1.19 percent.
