LatAm Uncovered – Luis Felipe Elton on Chile PPP
Show Notes

This is the latest IJGlobal podcast to have been recorded at the Inter American Development Bank’s excellent conference last week in Panama – PPP Americas.

IJGlobal editorial director Angus Leslie Melville talks to Luis Felipe Elton, head of the projects division at the Chilean PPP Unit, about the national infrastructure market in a side room at the IDB event.

With an established PPP sector, Chile is lauded as one of the mainstays of the Latin American infrastructure market and has long been held up as a bellwether for countries across the region looking to drive private sector involvement in the delivery and operation of national infra.

In a 17-minute interview with Luis, the listener is treated to an overview of the last 30 years of infrastructure procurement which has seen more than 100 concession-based contracts awarded, 77 of which are currently under construction or operational.

The Chilean PPP sector has attracted local and international investment… and it’s not stopping there.

Tune into the latest in the LatAm Uncovered series for an in-depth view of the market from one of the key players on the ground.
