average active interest rates applied by Agrobanco and by the conventional banking system, as  published by the Supervisory Authority for Banks, Insurance and Pension

annual average nominal PEN/USD exchange rate published by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP). Data us ed: Agrobanco interest rate: 16.0%. Banking system 
interest rate: 30.09%. Total loans: PEN 780.716 million. Exchange rate: PEN 3.49 = USD 1.
