The Minister of Economy and Finance and Chair of ProInversion's Board of Directors, Denisse Miralles, led the agency's first in-person board meeting. At this event, progress and results were presented for the portfolio of Public–Private Partnerships (PPPs), Asset Projects, and Works for Taxes.

In this context, the prioritized PPP portfolio for the first half of 2026 was unveiled, comprising 22 projects valued at over US$5.7 billion, which will benefit 23 Peruvian regions.

According to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), the prioritized portfolio includes projects in sanitation, health, energy, real estate, tourism, and ports. 

Notable initiatives include the Choquequirao Cable Car, the Chimbote Port Terminal, the National Institute of Child Health (INSN) – San Borja operation and maintenance, and the New Central Military Hospital, as well as water treatment plants in Cajamarca, San Martin, Puerto Maldonado, Trujillo, Huancayo, and Cusco.

The MEF head stated that this portfolio reflects the private sector's confidence in Peru's economy and the Transitional Government's commitment to leaving a clear and orderly roadmap for the next administration—one that ensures project continuity and delivers sustainable results in the coming years.

Likewise, she underscored the key role of PPPs and Asset Projects in speeding up infrastructure execution, ensuring proper operation and maintenance, as well as closing gaps without putting pressure on the fiscal coffers.

During the session, it was also reported that priority will be given to managing contract addenda aimed at expanding and improving existing infrastructure services—particularly in the Social Health Insurance System (EsSalud), airports nationwide, and Lima Metro Line 1, among others—with the goal of enhancing service quality for millions of users.

In turn, ProInversion's Executive President Luis del Carpio noted that 2026 could mark a historic record in project awards.

"Thanks to the new regulatory framework, low-complexity projects can be awarded in less than one year, while complex projects will be completed within a maximum period of 24 months," he indicated.

"With the prioritized portfolio, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and ProInversion reaffirm their commitment to promoting efficient, transparent, and results-oriented private investment as a driver of economic growth, job creation, and increased household incomes, thereby contributing to closing infrastructure gaps nationwide," Minister Miralles stated.

Lastly, she reported that the session was also attended by the State Ministers who serve on the ProInversion's board: Aldo Prieto (Transportation-Communications), Luis Bravo (Energy and Mines), Wilder Sifuentes (Housing, Construction, and Sanitation), and Cesar Quispe (Production).
