Peruvian economy may have risen 2.5% last September over the same month in 2016, mainly underpinned by non-primary sectors such as construction and manufacturing, Scotiabank estimated.
According to the officer, such figure indicates that
non-primary sectors, linked to domestic demand, may continue to expand gradually, with a growth rate close to 3%.
"This positive evolution may have been led by the
construction sector, which grew 8.9% in September, according to INEI's preliminary figures. It was the highest growth rate [registered] since February 2014, boosted by greater public investment," he expressed.
Likewise, the economist pointed out that the recovery of non-primary manufacturing is expected to continue, particularly for the industries related to construction and
mining activities.
