Peru's Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion) currently prepares a set of projects linked to the reconstruction of infrastructure damaged in northern regions by heavy rains and consequent floods.

"We expect to have a list of reconstruction-related projects very soon," ProInversion Executive Director Alvaro Quijandria projected. 

The official noted said ventures will be bid under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) mechanism once nature eases its grip on the Inca nation.

"We are ready to process what needs to be done —reconstruction-wise— through Public Private Partnerships," he added.

Remarks were made after the presentation of ProInversion's PPP investment portfolio 2017-2018, composed of 31 ventures valued at US$15.3 billion. 

"Our activities are focused on promotion and on attracting new investors, especially ones with strong ethical standards," he pointed out. 

Said 31 projects are divided into the following sectors: transport (10), energy (9), water (5), real estate (3), telecommunications (2), mining (1) and health (1).
