The Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) informs that today the modification of the Regulation of the Law of the National Port System (Law No. 27943) was published, approved by Supreme Decree No. 009-2025-MTC. This key measure will allow promoting new strategic investments in port infrastructure and enhancing the countrys logistics competitiveness.
The regulatory modification enables the extension of the deadlines of the public-private associations (app) for up to 30 additional years, both to expand existing infrastructure and to execute projects outside the concession area, such as preparations, access roads and other works that improve connectivity and strengthen the competitiveness of the ports. This change creates more attractive conditions for private investment and modernization of the port system.
Within this framework, the signature of the addendum for the expansion and modernization of the port of Matarani, located in the province of Islay, Arequipa, with an estimated investment in US $ 700 million is viable. The project includes the construction of a new multipurpose dock, a breakwater, electric cranes, specialized minerals for minerals and improvements in container courtyards.

These investments will consolidate Peru as a regional logistics center, will boost agro -exports and generate formal employment.
The Supreme Decree also establishes adjustments to various articles of the current regulations, aimed at granting greater flexibility for the implementation of port projects and adapting the regulations to the requirements of international trade.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance supports this measure, which will contribute to creating an environment conducive to private investment, key to strengthening foreign trade and consolidating Peru as a port hub of the region.
With this approach, the Government reaffirms its commitment to the modernization of the national port system and the promotion of investment in strategic infrastructure, as part of an open, dynamic and competitive economy that generates more opportunities for all Peruvians.
