According to the Finance Ministry's Multi-annual Macroeconomic Framework, public investment in Peru is likely to grow by 51.7% this year, boosted by the implementation of the government's economic stimulus package.

It is also expected that public consumption will increase by 8% in real terms due to higher expenses in road and infrastructure maintenance projects.

The economic activity in 2009 may register a moderated growth due to a 3.9% rise in non-primary production.

Primary production may see a moderate growth of 3.5%, driven by a 2.4% increase in the agricultural sector, due to increased production and demand for livestock products including meat, eggs and milk.

The Agricultural subsector may suffer a slowdown, and the Fishing activity may rise by 2.9 percent due to increasing fish extraction for indirect human consumption.
