Peru's private investment promotion agency ProInversión plans to grant 37 transport, energy, infrastructure and water projects in the next two years, its executive director Javier Illescas said.

Although ProInversión has launched tenders during 2013 for several major infrastructure projects, many of the original deadlines have been postponed numerous times. Among the projects postponed is the US$74 million concession for the Amazon waterway, initially set to be awarded in quarter four 2013, which has been postponed until 2014.

Among the biggest projects to be awarded are Cuzco's US$556 million Chinchero airport concession, and the construction of the US$3 billion Sur Peruano natural gas pipeline. Both projects are expected to be granted in quarter one 2014.

Peru's infrastructure gap is currently US$90 billion, and Proinversión has US$15 billion in projects in the pipeline.
