Definitions and sources
Trade adds both directions. Shares refer to the country’s total goods exports; investment is an accumulated stock, not an annual flow. Every figure retains the currency and period of its source. BEA positions are historical-cost estimates based on the immediate counterpart, not market values or investment by ultimate owner. ‘More than’ indicates a lower bound, not an exact amount. A recorded stock does not establish new activity or authorisation to operate under sanctions.

Definitions, dates and sources
Blank cells are not zero. Average annual inflation and the latest year-on-year figure appear in separate rows: they are not the same measure. Every annual indicator retains its reference year; when the years differ, the figures are identified as not directly comparable. When a figure is unavailable from the World Bank, an annual IMF estimate is used and identified as such. The latest year-on-year figure is the latest official release verified as of 7 October 2026. This includes advance releases marked as provisional. Mexico may have a fortnightly figure before the full month is published; it is not automatically compared with a monthly figure. The publication date is retained in each source’s details; it does not replace the observation period or the annual average. Policy rates carry their own dates and represent different instruments. Spain and France share the ECB rate. Balances are positive for surpluses and negative for deficits. The IMF may use fiscal years; unemployment retains each source’s definition (ILO estimates, IMF WEO or PCBS), as stated in the details. For Palestine, debt and the fiscal balance cover central government and retain the PCBS definition; they are not presented as consolidated general government. These are economic magnitudes, not measures of relationship quality.
Area retains each source’s territorial coverage; it does not determine sovereignty or effective control. Canada uses an archived national geographic reference. Military expenditure retains the 2024 SIPRI sample distributed by the World Bank: the amount and percentage of GDP use that same definition, which differs from NATO’s. It is not an approved budget or a 2026 figure. Information from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). Military expenditure database · Terms of use0

What each figure measures
Residents are counted by nationality and the coverage of the stated register, not as people born in the other country or as new arrivals in one year. PERE includes dual nationals and people born outside Spain. Study with OPT and stays carrying academic credit are different measures. Travel may include several visits by the same person; FRONTUR arrivals require an overnight stay, whereas the Canadian survey includes day visits. These figures are neither added together nor automatically compared across directions.

Underlying ties
History, institutions and long-standing issues.
Bilateral context
Diplomatic relations were established on 27 July 1995. In the joint thirtieth-anniversary declaration, both governments highlighted progress in political dialogue, economic exchange, digital cooperation, education and culture. [1]
The scale of both economies
Nominal GDP for Peru is 334.9 billion USD (2025), compared with 47 for Estonia (2025). The reference populations are 34.58 and 1.37 million, respectively. In the same year, the economy of Peru was 7.12 times that of Estonia in nominal GDP. The comparison provides context on market size, but does not, on its own, measure influence, well-being or diplomatic closeness. Estimates and their sources retain their labels in the tables.

Recent developments

Cooperation and bilateral issues
They reaffirmed defence of democracy, human rights, the rule of law, sovereignty and territorial integrity in international forums. The declaration proposes deepening trade and investment and increasing coordination on digital governance and cybersecurity. It also proposes high-level visits, people-to-people rapprochement and expanded institutional partnerships. These are cooperation priorities and commitments: the text does not identify a specific transferred digital system or new technological convention signed that day. The anniversary primarily provides a roadmap for developing relations. [1]
What merchandise trade shows
In 2025, merchandise trade between the two countries (Peru and Estonia) totalled 35.5 million current USD. Shipments from the first to the second were 32.1 million; those in the opposite direction, 3.3 million. The difference between the two flows was 28.8 million, in favour of Peru. This is a goods balance, not the total balance of the economic relationship: it excludes services, income and transfers. Both directions come from a single customs reporter to avoid adding mirror records. [2]
Five years of trade trends
The consistent series shows 13.6 million USD in 2021 and 35.5 million in 2025. The change between the two endpoints was +160.3 % in current dollars. The highest annual value in the period was recorded in 2024, at 39.6 million. The chart allows the two directions to be compared to see whether they moved together or differently. The change combines quantities, prices and exchange rates; it is not automatically attributed to a treaty, a visit or a political decision. The same reporter is retained and missing years are not interpolated. [2]
Documented trade sectors
Within the selected chapters, machinery and mechanical appliances stands out in shipments from Peru to Estonia, at 0.000712 million USD in 2025. Within the selected chapters, mineral fuels and oils stands out in shipments from Estonia to Peru, at 1.8 million USD in 2025. The table compares eight selected chapters with the same coverage as the trade total. It is not a complete list or proof that the first item in this selection is the leading product across the entire relationship. A chapter groups numerous goods: machinery and components, for example, do not describe a single business transaction. [3]
