AméricaEconomía, a pan regional business magazine in Latin America, has announced the official launch of a new local edition in Peru. This is the fifth local edition of the glossy magazine which has local editions in Brazil (1996), Mexico (2005), Ecuador (2006) and Chile (2007).

"Peru's economy is showing strong growth and is increasingly going global. A new innovative editorial formula was needed to address these changes", said Felipe Aldunate chief editor of AmericaEconomia. The announcement was made when an official release indicates that the Peruvian economy expanded 13.25% during April compared to the same month a year before. Construction which grew 34% and fisheries 29% was the leading industries for the unexpected index. The Peruvian economy in the first four months of this year has expanded at an annualized 10.5%. In Brazil AméricaEconomía is now preparing the re-launch of its website in Portuguese, expected to take place in August. A local team of four web journalists are being hired to join the AméricaEconomía team. Elias Selman, CEO of AméricaEconomía, states: "The rules of the game in the dynamic media marketplace in Latin America keep changing and we have consistently thrived by anticipating these changes. AméricaEconomía is strong today because we are the only panregional business publication in Latin America published as well as audited on a regular basis. Expect us to announce further business developments in the future."
