LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's Finance Minister Mercedes Araoz will be replaced in a cabinet shuffle this week, three sources in the ruling party and close to the government said on Tuesday.
One of the sources said Ismael Benavides, who once led one of Peru's largest banks, will be the new finance minister and that a swearing in ceremony was slated for Thursday.
