The Peruvian Minister of Economy says that assembly plants would operate in the special economic zone to supply Latin America.
The Minister of Economy and Finance of Peru, José Arista, said today that the Chancay megaport will attract investments from electric car manufacturers and manufacturing, because assembly plants would be installed in the special economic zone near the port terminal to supply Latin America. .
“The Chancellor has traveled to China to hold the first talks for a future trip by President Dina Boluarte in order to promote Chinese investment in Peru. Likewise, we will go to various places to promote investment so that it comes to this special economic zone,” he said in RPP.
“Among the possible users of the special economic zone is BYD, which are the largest electric car manufacturers in the world. The idea is that they come to assemble the electric cars here and distribute them throughout Latin America,” he indicated.
“There are other large companies like Xiaomi that are entering the automotive world, and space is also opening up for manufacturing and all types of assembly to supply all of Latin America,” he added.
EMPLOYMENT AND DEVELOPMENT AXIS
José Arista highlighted that the Chancay megaport will be a pivotal axis for investment, employment, development and growth of the economy of the small north of Peru and the rest of the country.
“A few weeks ago an agreement was made between the company Servicios Industriales de la Marina (SIMA) and Hyundai to put up a dry dock that will allow maintenance for 400-meter-long ships. An investment of more than US$1.5 billion is contemplated there,” he noted.
“On the entire Pacific coast there is only one place where these ships are maintained, in San Diego, California (United States),” he added.
The minister emphasized that they are working on several fronts in Chancay so that the town can be prepared when the port terminal begins to operate.
“On the one hand, on the formal side we are trying to delimit a special economic zone,” said José Arista, later adding that we are also working to ensure that there are adequate public services.
