News on Peru's Economy 2010 LIMA (Reuters) - Peru extended its economic recovery in April to bolster expectations that it and Brazil will grow the fastest in Latin America this year, though recent steps taken by the government will likely avert overheating. The Andean country's economy grew 9.26 percent in April from a year earlier, while expansion from March was a tepid 0.06 percent. Driven by surges of 21 percent in construction, 16 percent in manufacturing and 11 percent in retail, year-on-year growth in April topped the 9.1 percent forecast from a Reuters poll. The data showed Peru's economy grew at its fastest pace in 18 months. Many economists and the International Monetary Fund say Peru and regional giant Brazil will each expand up to 7 percent this year as they recover from the global crisis.

But it said it decided to keep the rate "exceptionally low" because of risk factors related to global economic uncertainty. MODERATE MONTH-ON-MONTH GROWTH Tame growth from March may support comments by Finance Minister Mercedes Araoz that the economy was not overheating. Araoz said on Friday that Peru does not plan to take more steps to cool down economic growth because inflationary pressures are
