Peru: PROINVERSION promotes infrastructure projects to European, U.S. investors

 

The State-run Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) began the year actively promoting important infrastructure projects to draw the interest of investors and executives representing major companies in Europe and the United States.

Executive Director Rafael Ugaz highlighted the opportunities to invest in Peru through ProInversion’s portfolio of projects for the 2021-2022 period, which includes initiatives worth over US$8.00 billion —between mature ones and those in the process of maturing.

Among the mature projects, the following stood out: Huancayo-Huancavelica Railway (US$260 million), Ancon Industrial Park (US$750 million), Natural Gas Massification (US$200 million), 500 kV Transmission Line Piura Nueva-Frontera Substation (US$163.5 million), Puerto Maldonado-Iberia Transmission Line and Valle Chira Substation (US$47 million), among others for sanitation, health, and education.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ProInversion and EY-Peru recently held a virtual roadshow to promote investment opportunities, attracting the interest of 200 executives and business people from major firms in the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States.
