Peru’s Net International Reserves (NIR) amounted to US$ 33.19 billion by October 20, US$ 1.06 million more than September’s closing, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCR) reported Saturday.
This increase is mainly explained by the BCR foreign currency purchases (US$ 910 million), higher valuation of investments (US$ 141 million), and higher deposits (US$ 42 million).
However the public sector deposits decreased by US$ 34 million in the mentioned period.
The BCR’s international investment position by October 20 was US$ 23.11 billion, US$ 1.05 billion higher than September’s closing.
Between October 13 and 20, the daily average of the 90-day corporate rate in domestic currency decreased from 1.76 to 1.73 percent, while this rate in dollars rose from 1.11 to 1.38 percent.
So far this month, the average daily interbank interest rate continued its downward trend dropping to 1.11 percent.
