The Association for the Development of National Infrastructure in Peru (AFIN), led by its new president Juan Pacheco, evaluated infrastructure strategies prior to the transition to the Keiko Fujimori government. Pacheco advises the new administration, which will face a dual threat of a shrinking fiscal space and the approaching El Niño weather event, to implement Public-Private Partnerships (PPP).
According to the AFIN president, urgent measures must be taken against the devastation El Niño will cause, and this process presents a critical opportunity to fix the fragmented infrastructure governance in the country. The division of authority and responsibilities among different institutions hinders intervention during crises, slowing down bureaucratic processes.
Noting that the Fujimori government has brought more than 100 infrastructure projects to the agenda but that not all projects can be started simultaneously due to limited financial resources, Pacheco emphasized that transferring financial risk to the private sector is the most logical path. The association stated that the private sector is ready to invest in Peru, arguing that in the current narrow fiscal space, the public-private partnership model is much more advantageous compared to public investment.
