The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) reports that the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE), an entity attached to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (MINJUSDH), plans to execute six major penitentiary infrastructure projects nationwide through the Works for Taxes (OxI) mechanism, with an estimated investment of S/ 1,182 million.
As part of the decentralization activities aimed at boosting private investment, PROINVERSIÓN conducted a training workshop in the city of Cusco on mechanisms and opportunities in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), Projects in Assets, and the Special Early Recovery Regime of the General Sales Tax (RERA IGV), aimed at authorities and officials from the public and private sectors.
By order of the Ministry of Health (MINSA), the Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN) has announced the call for proposals for the Comprehensive Project Tender to select national or foreign investors responsible for financing the renovation of infrastructure and equipment, as well as the operation and maintenance of the gray and green coat services of the National Institute of Children's Health - San Borja (INSNSB).
Mario Hernández, director of the Special Projects Division of PROINVERSIÓN, commented that these initiatives seek to value the cultural and natural heritage of the country, decentralize tourism and stimulate local economies. The regional cable cars are located in Cusco, Apurímac, Áncash, Apurímac, Moquegua and Puno.
The objective is to maximize the use of these assets owned or managed by State entities, to boost the development of infrastructure that closes gaps and promotes the economic growth of the country. In this way, it is sought that private investors contribute to the strengthening of public entities that lack sufficient resources to implement infrastructure and public services for the benefit of their localities, cities or regions.
The Private Investment Promotion Agency and the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights presented an investment portfolio of 36 projects that could be financed and executed through the Works for Taxes (OxI) modality, with an investment exceeding S/ 2,646 million and that will directly impact the community, providing greater security and improving the quality of life of citizens.
With the execution of new port projects, Peru will continue strengthening its port potential and hub position in the region. These projects involve the ports of Chimbote, Pucallpa, Saramiriza, and Iquitos.
In Works for Taxes, a record has been set between January and March 2025, with public entities (ministries, regional governments, local governments, and public universities) awarding 64 investments worth S/ 387 million, marking a historic record.
