  "account": "Peru's export record, reaching US$45.13 billion between January and May 2026, is driving a surge in demand for technology, artificial intelligence, and automation suppliers. The surge is fueled by a record-breaking free-trade agreement with Hong Kong, set to take effect on September 1.
