Fed raises key rate by half-point and signals more to come
Peru has been wracked by nearly a week of political crisis and unrest that have undermined stability.
Peru’s first female president appeared in a military ceremony on national television on Friday in her first official event as head of state, an attempt to cement her power and buck the national trend of early presidential departures.
Dina Boluarte was elevated from vice president to replace ousted leftist Pedro Castillo as the country's leader Wednesday.
The Peruvian Congress had been poised to debate Castillo's impeachment on Wednesday on corruption charges, but ahead of the vote he announced he intended to rule by decree.
