on Wednesday highlighted that the international community has a strong interest in investing in Peru. Therefore, the government will promote the country in Europe as an attractive destination for foreign capital.
The government official mentioned that on Monday his office, together with the InPeru Association, launched a new roadshow to attract investments, scheduled for June this year.
"We have planned to be in Europe in the first week of June, specifically in Madrid and London, to present the portfolio we have structured to the investor community; it includes over $50 billion in PPP projects and asset-based projects," Salardi said.
According to the Cabinet member, it is a comprehensive and multisectoral portfolio with projects aimed at closing various infrastructure gaps in Peru.
"Let us remember that our infrastructure deficit exceeds US$100 billion, and this will be a major step by the government toward closing those gaps," he emphasized.
"Major transportation sector projects, such as Lima Metro Line 3 and Line 4, are also included. Additionally, a mining railway is planned, along with urban mobility projects in Lima, including cable cars for other districts," the economist detailed.
"This is the portfolio we will present. We know there is strong interest from the international community in investing in our country," Salardi stated.
"Thus, we see this as an excellent opportunity to meet that expectation, recalling that over the past two years, we have awarded more than 30 projects worth nearly $11.5 billion," he added.
For this reason, Salardi highlighted the importance of the roadshow taking place in June this year, aiming to position Peru at the forefront of promoting its infrastructure projects, which will be crucial for the country's economic growth in the medium and long term.
Remarks were made following the Council of Ministers' session at the Government Palace in Lima.
