Over the next 15 months, the government plans to promote the awarding of 80 projects, nine contract addendums in progress, and 13 projects under structuring through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and asset projects, amounting to approximately US$46 billion.
Economy and Finance Minister Jose Salardi and
ProInversion Executive Director Luis Del Carpio presented the 2025-2026 Investment Portfolio, primarily focused on sectors such as Transportation, Sanitation, Health, Education, Hydrocarbons, Electricity, Agriculture, Real Estate, and Tourism, among others.
The government official explained that unlocking these 80 projects will allow the government to leave a significant legacy of approximately US$60 billion during the 2023-2026 period.
Salardi indicated that the updated goal for PPPs and asset projects for this year is to award up to 34 projects worth over US$8 billion. For 2026, the goal is to award up to 46 projects, also exceeding US$8 billion.
"The results of this three-and-a-half-year administration are significant, as they will promote equity by closing infrastructure gaps and surpassing the US$35 billion awarded by ProInversion over 20 years (2002-2022)," he stated.
A major boost for infrastructure and services
"We are working under this approach to provide a significant boost to infrastructure construction and service improvements for the benefit of the population and the national economy. This will have a significant impact, helping Peru achieve relevant economic growth rates in the coming years, hopefully exceeding 5% starting next year," Salardi stated.
The Cabinet member added that the expected results will be achieved through multiple fronts, including a portfolio of 80 projects to be awarded in 2025-2026, worth approximately US$16 billion.
He also mentioned nine contract addendums worth US$9.465 billion for projects such as: the Expansion of Lima Metro Line 1, the Natural Gas Pipeline Transport System, Second Group of Airports, the North and South Terminals of the Port of Callao, the Port of Matarani, Natural Gas Distribution via pipeline in Lima and Callao, Highway No. 6, and the Central Railway.
Additionally, the structuring and awarding of 13 additional PPP projects will bring US$19.3 billion in investments, including Lima Metro Lines 3 and 4; 10 cable car systems in Ancash, Cusco, Lima, Puno, Moquegua, and San Martin regions; and the Marcona-Andahuaylas Railway.
