LIMA, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Credicorp Ltd , Peru's largest financial holding company, said on Wednesday it earned 977.8 million soles ($300 million) in second-quarter net profit, up 6.3 percent from a year earlier.
The gains reflected a gradual recovery in loan growth, and that it has continued to improve the risk quality of its loan portfolio, said Credicorp.
