, rolling out an extensive agenda of technical and financial meetings with the main stakeholders linked to the State-owned oil company and the country's energy sector.
It noted that ProInversion held nearly 100 meetings with creditors, financial institutions, Petroperu's strategic suppliers, investors at preliminary stages, as well as officials from the company itself and the Peruvian public sector during its first two weeks of work.
According to the agency, these meetings have allowed for gathering key information, understanding the position of each stakeholder, assessing financial and operational scenarios, as well as establishing a clear and responsible roadmap for the company's reorganization.
"The State has made a decision aimed at preventing the disappearance of Petroperu, instead strengthening it so that it becomes an efficient and sustainable company over time," ProInversion Executive President Luis del Carpio noted.
"In these first weeks, we have carried out intensive and coordinated work that has allowed us to listen to all relevant stakeholders and move forward responsibly," he added.
In this context, the agency's head underscored that ProInversion has the experience and institutional capacity required to lead this process.
"ProInversion is the State's private investment promotion agency and has more than 20 years of experience structuring complex solutions of this nature," Del Carpio stated.
"As in other processes of national importance, we are bringing in investment banks and world-class specialized advisers with deep knowledge of the energy sector so as to build confidence among creditors, shareholders, workers, the citizenry, as well as both domestic and international investors," he noted.
The
process is being carried out jointly with Petroperu, the Ministry of Energy and Mines (Minem), and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), under a framework of ongoing coordination and a technical approach aimed at anticipating risks, avoiding improvised decisions, and ensuring that each stage of the restructuring is conducted in line with principles of fiscal responsibility, transparency, and oversight.
Moreover, the ProInversion executive president voiced confidence that the Congress of the Republic will responsibly assess the implications of repealing the current Urgency Decree, warning that such a move could worsen the company's financial situation and disrupt the payment chain.
"Petroperu is a major company facing a complex moment and requires solutions commensurate with its scale. With a well-managed process, it will once again become a source of pride for the country and for its workers," he concluded.
