Peru’s economy surprises with 3.26% growth in 2015

Peru’s economy expanded at a faster-than-expected rate of 3.26% last year, rebounding from a sharp slowdown in 2014 thanks to a December surge in copper output and anchovy catches, said state statistics agency Inei on Monday. The official year-on-year reading for December, 6.39%, marked the fastest monthly expansion in two years and came in above the 5.4% rate forecast in a Reuters poll.
