Peru economy in May, June likely slower vs April

LIMA: Peru's economy likely grew at a "high" year-on-year pace in May and June, though probably not as fast as April's 7.81 percent expansion, the country's finance minister said on Tuesday.

Carlos Oliva also told journalists the finance ministry would likely raise the official view of 2018 growth from 3.6 percent to a new figure in August. Oliva told Reuters last month that he thinks the economy will grow by about 4 percent this year.
