The Peruvian food and construction industries will dynamize the national economy, and will make possible that Peru achieves a growth of five or six percent in 2009, a difficult year due to the global financial crisis, Peru’s minister of Production Elena Conterno reported Wednesday.
“To date, the most dynamic sectors that will continue growing throughout the year are the food industry and construction materials”, she said.
She highlighted that the construction materials market will be increased significantly thanks to the execution of public road and electricity works, but also in housing development projects.
“As a result, this will also bring a greater dynamism in the wood market due to the increase in furnishings and door and window frames demand, among other products”, she added.
She said that, since world’s stock markets plummeted last October and November, the economic turbulence worsened and the private sector has been showing a great prudence; however, the industrial production continues very dynamic.
“We want to grow between five and six percent this year and the government is taking measures to guarantee it to Peruvians. Furthermore, we must be proud because Peru is one of the countries that will grow more due to its strong economy”, she said. (Andina)
