The infrastructure sector, information and communication technologies (ICT), along with health, finance, tourism and the textile and food industries are some of the Peruvian sectors that present the greatest opportunities for foreign investment. 
 
Among the most relevant reasons, these are a sample of highlights:
 
• The dynamism and opening of its economy, facilitated by its 8 port terminals, 5 international airports and 52 projects prioritized in the National Infrastructure Plan for Competitiveness (PNIC).
 
•  The confidence it generates for foreign investors because of its stability since it has a two-decade record of high growth and continues to have one of the lowest country risks and low inflation rates in the Latin American region.
 
• The tax incentives for foreign investment, such as the EU-Peru Free Trade Agreement, the Special Regime for Early Recovery of the IGV (RERA) or the equal treatment offered in many of the investments.
 
•  The 4 Special Economic Zones located in the Pacific-facing ports of Tacna, Paita, Ilo and Matarani, together with 4 more in the process of implementation, for companies specialized in logistics, research, telecommunications and infrastructure, among others.  These SEZ enable customs-free and tax-free treatment for companies or services that work in foreign trade until 2042.
 
• The existing portfolio of projects for foreign investment that includes 5 projects in tourism, 3 in manufacturing, 4 in textile, 46 in high technology, 5 in the food industry and 9 in other potential sectors.
 
• The rich and varied potential of the Peruvian tourism sector, either ecological or cultural, whose average annual growth has been 6% in the last 5 years.
 
• Its membership in international organizations, like the Pacific Alliance trading bloc.
 
•  Its investment in developing local Human Capital and its entrepreneurial attitude towards business, according to both the Global Talent Competitive Index (GTCI) and the Global Entrepreneurship Index.
 
As a result, a wide portfolio of foreign investors are already participating in ongoing projects, such as lines 3 and 4 of the Lima subway and other projects of vital interest based on public-private partnerships in tourism, renewable energy, infrastructure or agriculture.
