The Chancay Megaport: Strategic Opportunity or Risk of Capital Erosion?

Chancay is not just a port. It is a test of governance.

The study, undertaken by GRADE with the support of CIPE, analyzes how a strategic investment can be steered toward a constructive or corrosive path.

Three key takeaways:

  1. Chancay can strengthen Peru’s connection with Asia.
  2. Its logistical benefits are neither automatic nor necessarily equitable.
  3. Social and environmental management, transparency, and regional coordination will be decisive.

For public policy, the challenge is not only to attract investment but also to ensure that it aligns with a development strategy.
