The Ministry of Economy and Finance announced on March 14 the publication of the National Infrastructure Plan (PNI) 2026-2031, which prioritizes a strategic portfolio of 72 investment projects totaling S/ 144,117 million. The plan aims to strengthen national competitiveness, improve connectivity, and help close infrastructure and public service gaps across Peru.
The PNI 2026-2031 is aligned with the Strategic Development Plan Peru 2050 and focuses on high-impact economic and social investments in four macro-regions. Sectors targeted include transportation, agriculture and irrigation, sanitation, health, electricity, education, telecommunications, tourism, and culture.
Minister of Economy and Finance Gerardo López said the plan is a key tool for strengthening public investment priorities and promoting sustainable development. “The PNI 2026-2031 constitutes a fundamental tool to drive Peru’s development. Through this plan we prioritize strategic projects that will accelerate closing infrastructure gaps, strengthen productivity, and create better conditions for economic growth,” López said.
According to the ministry’s statement, the new plan incorporates an integrated management model for its project portfolio. This includes mandatory action plans for each prioritized project, progress indicators—both physical and financial—and early warning mechanisms for risk management. These measures are intended to ensure ongoing monitoring of investments and greater accountability regarding results.
The update cycle for the plan has been extended from three to five years to provide more predictability for investors and stakeholders involved in infrastructure development. The ministry also highlighted that the preparation of the PNI involved technical assistance from the Inter-American Development Bank as well as input from national government entities, private sector representatives, academia, and regional actors through workshops held in several cities.
With this new version of the National Infrastructure Plan approved, officials say it reaffirms the government’s commitment to strengthening planning processes that support economic growth and sustainable development.
