Today, the Private Investment Promotion Agency of Peru (ProInversión) and the Ministry of Production (Produce) hosted a webinar to launch the Ancon Industrial Park Project to inform investors of its technical, financial and legal aspects.

The Ancon Industrial Park (PIA, for its acronym in Spanish), which was called for international competitive bidding by ProInversión last January, aims to draw the attention of national and international investors, who to date have been consulting on the bidding terms.

The webinar brought together industrial park developers, investors, consultants, bank representatives, law firms, construction companies, among others, and had the participation of the Minister of Production, José Luis Chicoma; the Executive Director of ProInversión, Rafael Ugaz; and the Vice Minister of Small and Medium Entreprises and Industry, Rosa Ana Balcázar.

“The PIA is one of the 17 industrial parks promoted by our sector. We are convinced that these will be an excellent strategy that will allow the development of productive chains and will generate conditions for the growth planned for the regions”, emphasized the Minister of Production, José Luis Chicoma.

Likewise, the representative of the Production sector added that the Ancon Industrial Park has been structured through the Projects in Assets form to offer industrial and logistics companies an environment that facilitates the performance of their activities, by becoming an innovative, modern and sustainable technological and manufacturing hub.

The project, promoted by ProInversión on behalf of Produce, will be a new socioeconomic development zone and a productive employment engine in Lima. Therefore, this project has been prioritized in ProInversión’s portfolio to be awarded this year.

“ProInversión, Produce and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) have been working hard, with a clear sense of urgency and responsibility, to move forward with this important project to benefit our country,” said the Executive Director of ProInversión, Rafael Ugaz.

Despite the current situation, Peru continues to be a very attractive market for private investment. According to the latest forecasts of the MEF, Peru will have a GDP growth of 10 % this year.

“In addition, the legal and constitutional framework which includes international investment treaties, and other regulations on the promotion and protection of private investment provide security and confidence to investors,” said Rafael Ugaz.

Meanwhile, Rosa Ana Balcázar, Vice Minister of SME and Industry of Produce, said that the PIA will promote the economic recovery of the country, in which small, medium and large-sized companies will be able to propose synergies and new partnerships, thus generating more than 120,000 formal jobs.

PROJECT
The PIA will be the first innovative, modern, technological and sustainable industrial park in the country, strategically located between the ports of Chancay (40 km) and Callao (39 km), with special access to the Jorge Chávez International Airport (33 km) and excellent connection with the main transportation routes, such as the Northern Pan-American Highway and Néstor Gambetta Avenue.

It has been designed to be transferred to the private sector through a land purchase contract and an investment contract. The private developer will be responsible for the design, financing, enabling, development, management, operation, and maintenance of the project.

It will be implemented in three stages, over a term of 16 years. This aims to develop infrastructure projects for industrial and commercial use, implement a truck center and a business and technological park.

The total area of the land is 1,338 hectares, and the investment in the project could reach US$ 750 million.

“I firmly believe that with the strong participation of private investment, the firm commitment of the Ministry of Production and our Government, we will move forward with this great project to benefit the Peruvian economic and social development,” emphasized the Executive Director of ProInversión.

ProInversión commits itself to support them in this process, and the full availability of the project’s technical staff to answer all their doubts, queries and concerns so that they may take timely decisions on their participation in this great project, he added.

Finally, the bidding terms, which contain the conditions and requirements to participate in the bidding process, the corresponding activity schedule and the guarantees to be submitted, are available to the interested parties at ProInversión’s website, at the following link.
