, through its Specialized Investment Monitoring Team (EESI), is promoting a portfolio of more than 50 strategic projects across sectors including mining, electricity, transport, hydrocarbons, health, and agriculture, with a combined investment exceeding US$66 billion.
The government agency reported that execution for 2026 alone is projected at close to US$4.7 billion, positioning this portfolio as a key driver of investment, job creation, and national competitiveness.
It added that the MEF facilitated the completion of administrative procedures required for the launch, continuation, expansion, and reactivation of investments during the first quarter of 2026.
"These advances allow projects to be unlocked in the short term, speed up implementation, and help strengthen public service provision in order to boost the economy and consolidate the recovery of public, private, and public-private investment," the ministry stated.
Economy and Finance Minister Rodolfo Acuña underscored the importance of coordination between public institutions and the private sector in achieving these results.
"Coordinated work among different levels of government and the entities involved is enabling the unblocking of major projects. Our goal is to ensure these investments translate into tangible benefits for citizens," he said.
In the mining sector, where investment for 2026 is estimated at approximately US$2.6 billion, key milestones include the start of commercial operations at the San Gabriel project in Moquegua region, as well as approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Trapiche project in Apurimac region.
Progress is seen in the expansion and operation of mining units such as Las Bambas, Quellaveco, Mina Justa, Antapaccay, and Cerro Verde.
"These initiatives are essential to sustain productive momentum and generate employment across various regions of the country," he noted.
In the energy sector, with estimated investment of around US$1.105 billion for 2026, construction has begun on the Babilonia Solar Plant in Arequipa region, which is expected to generate clean energy for approximately 350,000 households and create around 800 jobs during its construction phase.
The government official reported that authorizations were granted for the start of operations at projects such as the Puerto Maldonado–Iberia Transmission Line and Lot 58, along with approval to begin construction of the Hanaqpampa Solar Plant.
In the transport sector, where estimated investment for 2026 stands at about US$1.005 billion, authorities, in coordination with other entities, completed the clearance of electrical interferences for the central station of Lima-Callao Metro Line 2, which has surpassed 70% physical progress.
"Progress was also reported in major initiatives such as the Peripheral Ring Road, Autopista del Sol (Highway), and the expansion of Lima Metro Line 1, all considered essential to improving connectivity and reducing logistics costs," Acuña noted.
The MEF head emphasized that close monitoring of these projects reflects a clear strategy to unblock investment and accelerate economic growth.
"At the MEF, we are focused on removing barriers, streamlining processes, and sending clear signals of confidence to investors. The work of the EESI is key to reactivating the economy and closing infrastructure gaps," Acuña stated.
"Through the EESI, the MEF strengthens a strategy of close monitoring and interinstitutional coordination so that strategic investments move forward more rapidly and translate into more jobs, improved infrastructure, greater competitiveness, and higher-quality services for the population," he added.
