It also had a direct positive impact on regional productivity and improved basic public services' quality.
Speaking as a panelist at the presentation of the Study on European Foreign Direct Investment in Peru and the launch of Eurocamaras' Fourth Position Paper, Del Carpio addressed the audience.
The official said ProInversion has helped consolidate Peru as a reliable and competitive destination for long-term foreign investment.
Investor confidence
"The sustained participation of European capital in Peru reflects international investor confidence in the country's solid fiscal and macroeconomic framework, underpinned by clear rules, sustainable public finances, and budgetary discipline," Del Carpio highlighted.
In this regard, he added that several European companies have a long-standing presence in Peru, including APM Terminals (Netherlands), Cintra (Spain), Swissport (Switzerland), Statkraft (Norway), ACCIONA (Spain), Terna Plus (Italy), and Engie (France).
Some projects
Some of the main investments include the Peripheral Ring Road (US$3.346 billion); the Callao Port's Northern Multipurpose Terminal (US$749 million); Longitudinal de la Sierra – Section 2 (US$552 million); the Southern Energy Hub – Plant No. 2 Moquegua (US$334 million); Regional Airports Group 1 and 2 (US$312 million); the 500 kV Chilca–Marcona–Montalvo Transmission Line (US$291 million); the Taboada Wastewater Treatment Plant (US$269 million); and the Kuelap Cable Car System (US$18 million), respectively.
PPP 5.0
Before concluding his remarks, the ProInversion head briefed European investors on the framework the agency is developing following the regulatory changes to Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs) and Works for Taxes (OxI) approved in late 2025.
"At ProInversion, we have launched PPP 5.0: Comprehensive Governance of Private Investment for Development. It represents a shift at the technical and institutional core level of the private investment model," Del Carpio stated.
"Under this approach, we are no longer merely a contract-structuring agency; instead, we become the system's technical coordinator for private investment, with responsibility for the coherence, continuity, and governance of the entire project life cycle," he emphasized.
