on Thursday stated that the government will drive forward 50 Asset Projects on Armed Forces land, where potential investments exceeding S/2 billion (above US$550 million) can be developed.
"There is great potential for Asset Projects, which is one of the investment-generating activities and modalities in the country that we want to promote even further," Salardi said.
"That is why today we are presenting 50 Asset Projects that we have been working on together in recent months. These projects have potential investments exceeding S/2 billion and will definitely help develop various infrastructure (projects)," he added.
During the "Investment Opportunities in Armed Forces Asset Projects" event, the government official4 that this portfolio of 50 Asset Projects will contribute to Peru's economic dynamics.
"It will help generate significant private-sector activity and business opportunities, as well as real estate and energy possibilities, particularly in wind energy and other sectors," Salardi explained.
"Additionally, exceptional resources will be generated so that the Armed Forces can increasingly better fulfill their required role and maintain the necessary operations. We all recognize the importance of our Armed Forces and the vital role they play in our country," he added.
"In this regard, for over a year, we have been actively working with our teams on Asset Projects, Works for Taxes, and Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) to identify different infrastructure interventions we can undertake together," Salardi said.
The Cabinet member also reported that one of the most advanced projects is the modernization of the Military Hospital, aimed at providing the Army and its families with the service they deserve.
"We hope to soon include the Air Force and Navy in this effort to take a significant leap forward in improving hospital services," he mentioned.
It is worth noting that Asset Projects represent a key and dynamic strategy for the country's economic development. Through collaboration between the public and private sectors, these projects optimize the use of (Peruvian) State assets, generating significant benefits for local and regional populations.
