Peru's public expenditure framework shows some rigidities, a number of which were introduced when fiscal resources were scarce or, more recently, because of concerns about a possible risk of inflation. The implementation of the stimulus package has required a laborious transition to remove bottlenecks to faster public spending, sometimes at the risk of affecting the mechanisms that help ensure the quality of public expenditures. The Peruvian authorities have been able to accelerate public investments in infrastructure but little thinking has been dedicated to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of such investments. The report concludes that Peru should focus on: prioritizing infrastructure investments through improved planning, promoting efficiency in infrastructure delivery, enhancing sub-national governments' capacity with respect to infrastructure, and leveraging the participation of the private sector.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTUREACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCOUNTINGAIRAIR FREIGHTAIRPORTAIRPORT CONCESSIONAIRPORT INFRASTRUCTUREAIRPORTSASSET MANAGEMENTASSET REPLACEMENTAVERAGE TARIFFSBASIC SERVICESBOTTLENECKSBRIDGEBUDGET EXECUTIONCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL FLOWSCARCAR ACCIDENTSCAR USERSCARGOCASH FLOWCITIESCOMMERCIALIZATIONCOMMUNITIESCONCESSIONCONCESSION PROJECTSCONCESSIONSCONSUMPTION OF ELECTRICITYCONTAINER TRAFFICCOST RECOVERYCOSTS OF TRANSPORTATIONECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EVALUATIONECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC TRANSACTIONSEFFICIENCY OF INFRASTRUCTUREEFFICIENT TRANSPORTATIONELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTIONELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRICESELECTRICITY SECTORELECTRICITY SERVICESELECTRICITY SUPPLYELECTRICITY TARIFFELECTRICITY TARIFFSEMPLOYMENTEND USERSENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSFISCAL BALANCEFISCAL DECENTRALIZATIONFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN INVESTMENTSFOREIGN INVESTORSFREIGHTFREIGHT COSTSFREIGHT TRAFFICFUELGENERATIONHIGH TRANSPORTATIONHOUSINGINFLATIONINFRASTRUCTURE ASSETSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGINFRASTRUCTURE POLICIESINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURE SECTORINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGINFRASTRUCTURESINTERGOVERNMENTAL TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL INVESTORSINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT GRADEINVESTMENT PROGRAMLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOGISTICS CHAINSLOGISTICS COSTSMAINTENANCE COSTSMAINTENANCE EXPENDITURESMAINTENANCE OF INFRASTRUCTUREMARGINAL COSTSMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMODERN TRANSPORTMUNICIPALITIESNATIONAL GOVERNMENTSPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURESPORT SERVICESPOWERPOWER SECTORPRICE LEVELPRIVATE FINANCINGPRIVATE PROVIDERSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPUBLICPUBLIC ASSETSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SPENDINGQUALITY OF TRANSPORTQUALITY OF TRANSPORT SERVICESQUALITY OF TRANSPORTATIONRAILROADRAILROADSRAILWAYREGIONAL INFRASTRUCTUREREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRESIDENTIAL CONSUMERSROAD ACCIDENTSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROAD SECTORROAD STANDARDSROAD TRAFFICRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL POPULATIONRURAL ROADSSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSCHOOLSSERVICE PROVIDERSSUB-NATIONAL GOVERNMENTSTARIFF STRUCTURETOLLTOLL ROADTRANSITTRANSPORTTRANSPORT CORRIDORSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURESTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION FACILITIESTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION NETWORKTRANSPORTATION SERVICESURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN POPULATIONURBAN SANITATIONURBANIZATIONWASTEWATER INFRASTRUCTUREWATER PRICESWATER SERVICEWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWEALTHWorld Bank10.1596/12501
