These projects aim to improve basic services, narrow historical gaps in the Loreto region, and strengthen connectivity between the region and other parts of Peru as well as international markets.
PROINVERSIÓN Executive President Luis Del Carpio made the announcement at the Loreto Regional Economic Conference hosted by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP). The conference brought together government officials, entrepreneurs, and academics. Del Carpio emphasized the need for sustained intervention to address the challenges facing the region, particularly in areas such as access to drinking water, sanitation, healthcare, and education.
Key projects include the construction of new port terminals in Saramiriza and Iquitos, the third airport cluster in Loreto, and the construction of several hospitals in Iquitos and Yurimaguas. Additionally, the portfolio includes the Iquitos wastewater treatment plant, rural sanitation projects, and the Loreto telecommunications network. Del Carpio stressed that these initiatives are part of a broader regional development vision aimed at integrating Loreto into the country's logistics corridors, thereby attracting over $9.3 billion in investments in transportation, telecommunications, and energy sectors.
Similarly, PROINVERSIÓN is advancing 12 interventions in the Loreto region through the tax-for-works mechanism, with a budget of 492 million soles, focusing on transportation, healthcare, and education. Del Carpio also met with the Loreto Chamber of Commerce to strengthen institutional cooperation and explore initiatives that could be funded through bilateral funds. PROINVERSIÓN is committed to transforming this project portfolio into concrete works that benefit residents of the Amazon region, emphasizing that Loreto faces significant challenges but also has historic development opportunities.
