History
[edit]In May 1976, the military government of Francisco Morales Bermúdez through Decree-Law No. 21501 created the National Commission for Foreign Investments and Technologies (CONITE). This was in charge the national policy for the treatment of investments, technologies and foreign brands, in accordance with national economic plans and integration policy.
In 1991, during the government of Alberto Fujimori, the Commission for the Promotion of Private Investment (COPRI) was created with the objective of promoting private investment in companies.
In 2004 these two government organisations (CONITE) and (COPRI) were merged and the new organisation renamed as Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversion). It is involved in infrastructure projects such as for road and rail developments.[1]
