ProInversión Drives US$10.169 Billion PPP Portfolio for Southern Peru

The Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversión) presented a portfolio of 22 Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, two Projects in Assets and one addendum worth US$10.169 billion, aimed at strengthening Peru's southern logistics corridor. The announcement was made by the agency's executive president, Luis Del Carpio, during his address at ANDESMIN 2026, an event held in Ayacucho.

Del Carpio noted that the southern corridor initiatives account for 25% of the Agency's total PPP and Projects in Assets portfolio, which stands at nearly US$50 billion through 2030. Among the featured projects are the Port of Marcona, the Port of Matarani and the Puno Dry Port, together with hydrocarbon and power transmission initiatives aimed at improving connectivity between the south's productive areas and external markets.

The official also mentioned two potential rail projects to strengthen mining logistics in the region: the Andahuaylas–Marcona Railway, with an estimated investment of US$8.167 billion, and the Imata–Espinar–Cotabambas Railway, worth US$4.523 billion. According to Mundo Marítimo, these initiatives were presented as potential projects and their amounts do not necessarily correspond to investments funded within the announced US$10.169 billion.

Del Carpio explained that the Agency's strategy rests on three lines of action: strengthening governance through the PPP 5.0 model, accelerating execution through Works for Taxes 360, and providing investor confidence through the one-stop window and other facilitation tools. He noted that the PPP 5.0 model seeks comprehensive management of the project cycle, from formulation through execution, and stressed that success is now measured on the day the service reaches the population, not on the day the contract is signed.

Regarding the Works for Taxes mechanism, Del Carpio reported that between 2009 and October 2026 public entities in nine southern regions—Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cusco, Ica, Tacna, Moquegua, Puno and Madre de Dios—accumulated 807 awarded interventions worth more than S/12.692 billion, a figure Mundo Marítimo equated to approximately US$3.667 billion. So far in 2026, 385 interventions worth S/4.754 billion (about US$1.374 billion according to Mundo Marítimo) have been awarded, while mining companies funded 96 interventions worth S/2.493 billion between 2009 and 2026. The southern regions also have a combined capacity of S/29.058 billion under their Maximum Annual Capacity Ceiling, and 197 potential interventions worth S/6.142 billion were identified at various stages of preparation.
