LIMA (Reuters) – Peru presidential front-runner Pedro Castillo said on Monday he would respect the autonomy of the Andean nation´s central bank if he wins the presidency, and that his economic plan did not include nationalizations or expropriations.
Castillo held a razor-thin, but growing, 50.26% to 49.74% lead over conservative competitor Keiko Fujimori early on Monday evening with nearly 96% of the vote counted.
