LIMA, Peru--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yesterday Pacasmayo placed S/ 570 million in bonds in the local market, in two issuances: The first one for S/ 260 million with a 10 year maturity and a 6.6875% interest rate, and the second one for S/ 310 million with a 15 year maturity and a 6.84375% interest rate.

This new issuance allows for less exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, longer maturity and a lower cost of capital.
