Lima, January 22, 2026.- Within the framework of Expo Puno 2026, the Executive Director of PROINVERSIÓN, Luis Del Carpio, highlighted the region’s enormous potential to become a development engine for southern Peru, announcing that Puno has a maximum CIPRL ceiling of PEN 2.752 billion to implement projects through the Works for Taxes (OxI) mechanism. “Platforms such as Expo Puno show that the region has projects, vision, and real opportunities to attract private investment and generate growth for the country,” he stated.
This amount will enable regional and local governments to finance investments, operation and maintenance activities, and services without committing additional budgetary resources, accelerating investments in key sectors such as education, transport, health, sanitation, productive development, among others. Following this announcement, PROINVERSIÓN has initiated active engagement in the region aimed at turning this potential into concrete and bankable projects.
As part of this agenda, during Expo Puno 2026 the Agency held a Promotion Workshop on Works for Taxes, Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and Asset Projects (PA), aimed at regional and local authorities, with the objective of providing specialized technical assistance and strengthening capacities to structure projects with private sector participation, contributing to closing infrastructure gaps and fostering sustainable economic development.
PPP AND ASSET PROJECTS TRANSFORM PUNO
In parallel, PROINVERSIÓN is promoting strategic projects in Puno under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Asset Project (PA) modalities, including the Southern Dry Port (Juliaca), which will be developed on a 52-hectare site and is expected to become a key logistics hub in the southern Andes. Thanks to its location and connectivity, it will link regional production with the ports of Matarani and Ilo, and in the future with Tacna, Corío, Callao, and Chancay, strengthening trade, reducing logistics costs, and positioning Puno as a strategic platform for national and regional integration.
Likewise, through technical assistance provided by the Directorate of Decentralized Investments, PROINVERSIÓN has identified approximately 19 potential Asset Projects in the region, related to markets, slaughterhouses, processing plants, shopping centers, parking facilities, and bus terminals, among others. These initiatives open new opportunities to attract private investment, stimulate local economies, and unlock the value of public assets for the direct benefit of the people of Puno.
