Peru ex-govt official Carlos Oliva to be finance minister - source

LIMA (Reuters) - Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra will swear in Carlos Oliva, a former deputy finance minister, as the new finance minister in a ceremony later on Thursday, a government source said.

The appointment follows the resignation of outgoing finance minister David Tuesta after Vizcarra's government struck a deal with truck and bus drivers to avert a protest against new tax hikes on diesel and other fuels.
