the annual average active interest rates applied by this institut ion and by the conventional banking system, as published by th e Supervisory Authority fo r Banks, Insurance and

system corresponds to business operations related to production activities (credits for micro-en terprises). The resulting amoun ts were converted into US dollars using the annual 
average nominal soles/US$ exchange rate publ ished by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP). Data used: Agrobanco interest rat e: 18.3%. Banking system interest 
rate: 37.6%. Total loans: 55.2 million soles. Exchange rate: 3.27 soles = US$1.

the annual average active interest rates applied by this institut ion and by the conventional banking system, as published by th e Supervisory Authority fo r Banks, Insurance and

system corresponds to business operations related to production activities (credits for micro-en terprises). The resulting amoun ts were converted into US dollars using the annual 
average nominal soles/US$ exchange rate publ ished by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP). Data used: Agrobanco interest rat e: 18.3%. Banking system interest
