Peru's new government is looking at economic stimulus measures for regions being roiled by protests after the ouster of leftist leader Pedro Castillo, but will hold steady to "non-negotiable" fiscal deficit targets, the economy minister said on Tuesday.
The Andean nation, the world's no. 2 copper producer, was thrown into disarray last week when Castillo was ousted by Congress and arrested, sparking off protests in rural mining regions that have left at least six people dead.
