Peruvian rebar sales in December rose nearly 20 percent, year-over-year, to 135,681 mt, according to a report from statistics agency INEI.
Despite the year-over-year increase, INEI said Peruvian rebar sales in December declined 18 percent, month-over-month, from 165,444 mt.
As for the full-year of 2020 Peruvian rebar sales reached 1.2 million mt, down from 1.3 million mt in 2019. The decline was mainly due to Covid-19, which affected rebar sales volumes between the months of March to June.
