Peru Assesses Financing Options

Peru is assessing market conditions with the aim of increasing stability and improving the yield curve for foreign investors, Peruvian finance minister Mercedes Araoz tells LatinFinance. “We’re using bond issues, for example in local currency, to finance our public investment plan,” she adds. Araoz says financing has been done longer than 32 years at attractive rates. “Part of our policy is to have good liability management,” she adds. “We need to minimize long term risks.”
