Peru: impact of mining on the economy
On Monday, January 10, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, applied 25% tariffs to all imports of steel and aluminum, without contemplating exceptions or exemptions. This decision influenced the Gold pricewhich exceeded US $ 2,900 per ounce, in line with the tendency of recent months. The increase reflects the uncertainty generated by the commercial war and the growing interest of the central banks in diversifying their reserves.
“Formal, informal and illegal companies are in Bonanza,” said José de Echave, former Minister of Environmental Management, to the Republic.
Gold is the second product most exported by Peru, representing 27% of foreign sales. According to Jorge Manco Zaconetti, a researcher at the Faculty of Economics at the San Marcos University, the country produces seven million ounces of gold daily, of which five and a half million are reported by the BCRP. However, the remaining and a half million would come out unofficially through Puno or Mother of God to Bolivia, and by Piura or the Amazon region to Ecuador.
