Peruvian Economy and Finance Minister Claudia Cooper said Monday this is the first time in four years that public and private sectors return to growth.
"For the first time in four years, the country will see an overall growth in
private and
public sectors, [mainly] in key activities like construction, manufacture,
trade and services," she said.
Cooper remarked public investment has experienced a two-digit overall growth over the past three months at all government levels.
The government official said the number of investment announcements increased 42.2% in the first nine months of the year over the same period in 2016.
