LIMA (Reuters) - Peru's left-wing government has yet to decide exactly how it will hike taxes on the mining sector, Finance Minister Pedro Francke said on Thursday, adding that International Monetary Fund advisers will take weeks to issue recommendations.

"We are going to keep the same types of taxes that already exist, but we do plan to adjust some of the rates," Francke told reporters.
