A total of 921 investment megaprojects valued at US$155.137 billion were identified by the Institute of Economics and Business Development (IEDEP) of the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL), which are to be implemented in different macro regions across the country between 2021 and 2026.

This will contribute to the sustained economic growth and will be essential for closing the regional infrastructure gap.

According to the IEDEP, most of the investment is concentrated in the northern macro region —including 186 projects valued at US$40.833 billion— particularly in the mining and hydrocarbons sectors.

The southern macro region concentrates the second largest amount with 206 projects, followed by Lima with 113 projects, whose investment is estimated at US$35.489 billion and US$26.809 billion, respectively. 

In the case of the south, the projects are focused on the mining and hydrocarbons sector. Besides, public investment projects were also recorded in this macro region. 

On the other hand, Lima will see transport projects —under the public-private partnerships (PPP) modality— and public ones.

Meanwhile, 265 megaprojects worth US$32.810 billion —particularly in the mining sector— were identified in the central macro region, as well as public investment projects. 

Finally, 85 projects have been recorded in the eastern macro region, whose investment is estimated at US$7.065 billion.
