Economic growthwas led by exports and domestic demand, generating anincrease in private investment, attracting foreign capital,and strengthening public finances. The population living inpoverty and extreme poverty fell from 58.7 percent and 16.4percent in 2004 to 25.8 percent and 6 percent in 2012,respectively (INEI 2014a).
