PPPs momentum
Many countries in Latin America are leveraging Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) to fund large-scale infrastructure projects. This model helps mitigate financial risks and attract private investment for essential infrastructure like roads, bridges, and public transportation systems.
Compared to the 2021-2022 period, investment in PPP infrastructure has increased by more than 15% in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the number of projects by more than 25% for the 2023-2024 period.
As an example of the momentum that the industry is experiencing, in 2024 the Private Investment Promotion Agency of Peru – Proinversion – awarded 16 PPPs and Asset-Based Projects (ABP), amounting to an investment of almost USD 9 billion, four times higher than in 2023.
Similarly, Colombia's 5G fifth-generation infrastructure initiative – launched in 2021 and aimed at modernising and expanding the country's overall infrastructure – also leverages PPPs to attract investment. This ambitious plan encompasses (in two waves) 18 road, seven airport, three rail and two river projects worth nearly USD 50 billion.
