Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/20/2013 -- BMI maintains its broadly positive view on Peru's freight transport sector. Despite our view for real GDP growth to slow over the medium term, significant commodity wealth, attractive investment opportunities at the sector level, and an emerging consumer story underpin our view that Peru will remain one of the most dynamic economies in Latin America in the coming years. We maintain our view that Peru's mining sector will grow steadily over our forecast period, driven primarily by investment in copper and gold mining projects. We forecast Peru's mining sector will grow an average of 4.2% a year through to 2017, reaching a value of US$23.0bn, providing ample volumes for the country's freight transport network to handle.

Nevertheless, BMI cautions that Peru's heavy reliance on commodity exports may weigh on its freight transport sector in the next few years, as a hard landing for China's economy caps prices and demand for base metals. Underdeveloped infrastructure, capacity constraints, and continued social unrest could also weigh on freight volumes going forward.

With Chinese real GDP growth set to slow notably in the next few years, as the economy rebalances away from an investment-led growth model towards one in which private consumption plays a larger role, we believe that Peru will be hit hard through the trade and investment channels.
