1 Peru Business Opportunities: Infrastructure Zusammengestellt von: Swiss Chamber of Commerce in Peru Lima, September INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR 1.1 Introduction In the recent years, Peru s GDP has enjoyed sustained growth of an average of 6.4%. Enjoying a strategic position in the region and a great variety of natural resources which represent considerable potential across a range of economic sectors, Peru has become one of the leader countries in the region. According to the Banco Central de Reserva del Peru (BCRP) it is expected that this trend will continue for the period of , when Peru will reach an average of 5.5% -6.5%. The peruvian growth is mainly the result of private investment and trade liberalization. Peru s foreign trade policy is being geared to open up markets, and the country has signed free trade agreements with many of the world s major economies, while negotiations with several others are ongoing. There is also a strict defense of international private investment. Despite this favorable trend, there is still a big gap between infrastructure projects and investment, that the government is planning to resolve in the next years. Peruvian government has prioritized the development of transport infrastructure (road, rail, ports and airports) to increase competitiveness and set up a logistics hub that integrates Latin America, with the Asia Pacific economic region.

2 During the period of , Peru had a slight improvement in some sectors such as water, sanitation and electricity, but there is a big gap in vial projects, railways, health, among others. As an exemple, nowadays there are only four railroads in the country, mostly used to transport minerals or for tourism. Peru requires more investment in roads and railway infrastructure to serve the transport of persons, facilitate trade and the connection between remote places and main cities. During the period of , the Transport Sector began to improve its investment rates with the following results: Sector Investment (USD Mill) Roads 2,643 Ports 386 Airport 342 Railways 105 Airport 10% Ports 11% Railways 3% Total 3,476 Roads 76% As shown in the first table, one of the current requirements of infrastructure is to pave the roads of the national network and connect the country. These projects were the ones which received more attention in the last 2 years, improving the infrastructure sector and the possibilities for international companies. 1.2 Opportunities As we mentioned before, and according to the data analized by the Cooperación Andina de Fomento (CAF), there is still a big gap in various sectors of the infrastructure in Peru such as energy, communications, transportation, water and sanitation, among others. 2/10 Infrastructure Gap (USD Mill) Investment Maintenance Total Energy 20, ,868 Electric Power 12, ,085 Natural gas 7, ,784 Telecommunications 11,055 1,135 12,190 Wireline 1, ,319 Cell phone 7, ,359 broadband 2, ,508 Transport 25, ,888 Paved roads 16, ,582 Railways 3, ,481 Airports 1, ,545 Ports 4, ,278 Water and sanitation 3, ,960 Drinking water 1, ,747 Sanitation 2, ,214 Total 60,738 2,167 62,905

3 A part of this gap would be covered by 2016 with the execution projects promoted by the public sector (Central Government and Regional Governments). 1.3 What is needed? New Investment foreseen in Infrastructure USD Million Vial 11, Railways 5, Airports Ports Hidroways Total 17, According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2012, the quality of the peruvian infrastructure is still far away from a good position ( 3.6 points over 7 ) and is similar to the rest of the countries in Latin America. The challenge is to reach the level of the leaders in the region, such as Brazil and Chile. To reach this goal the entrance of specialized international companies is necessary. These could bring new high quality process and knowledge to the country and work together with national building companies. For the concession of projects, it is very common the have of consortiums, where different companies work together on the design, planning, execution and supervision of the project and the materials. The main construction companies in Peru are constantly seeking international companies that could be part of a consortium and contribute with specialized knowledge and high quality services or products. As shown in this report, Peru has prioritized infrastructure development in the transport sector (road, rail, airports, ports) to improve competitiveness and become a logistics hub that integrates Latin America and Asia Pacific. This trend is expected to continue increasing in the coming years and will generate a big framework of opportunities for international companies that may benefit from a secure and stable economy with great prospects. 2. MAIN STAKEHOLDERS AFIN ( The Association for the promotion of the national infrastructure (AFIN) brings together the leading infrastructure companies in energy, transport, telecommunications and sanitation.
