Peru Readying PPP Law (1)

The Peruvian government is hoping to push through a new law to make public-private partnerships a more viable piece of the government’s effort to stimulate infrastructure investment. While details of the law are still unclear, the goal is to push it through Congress by the end of the year, José Arista Arbildo, Peru’s vice minister of finance, tells LatinFinance. Between now and the end of 2008, Peru will look to have $3bn worth of investment in infrastructure projects, including ports, airports and roads.
