EU-LAC Investment Forum would attract one billion dollars for Peru

(LIP-do) -- Peru could receive one-billion dollar investments as a result of the I Investment Forum held last week in the framework of the V Summit of Heads of State and Government of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean (EU-LAC), said the executive director of the Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversión), David Lemor.
He added he is confident that this number will increase over time.

"During the I Investment Forum organized in the framework of the EU-LAC Summit, we have called the attention of 200,000 world business leaders, who came to this event and we have set up over 500,000 business meetings", he said to Andina news agency.

He said that we are already seeing the initial results of this international summit organized by Peru, attended by almost 60 Heads of State and Government from the two continents.

"We are starting to see the results and we are already negotiationg with EU-LAC private enterprises, so as to attract one-billion dollar investments to Peru", he said.

He added that this number is one of the first benefits brought by international summit, held at the Museo de la Nacion.

"We are talking about lots of investments, for example in developing new sugar cane plantations for biofuels. Some countries are also interested in participating in an industrial park in Lurin to take advantages of the gas pipeline that will come from Pisco.

Lemor said that the financial sector would also attract investments and that some real estate agreements have been reached.
