Peru’s outgoing Finance Minister Alonso Segura said on Friday that he was monitoring local markets after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, but he said economic impacts would likely be indirect and felt in the medium-term.
“It’s unfortunate,” Segura told Reuters in an emailed statement. “What’s needed is a world that’s more integrated, not one that fractures. It’s worrisome that these separatist initiatives are happening in other parts of the world.”
