Which banks are interested in financing Petroperu’s $2 billion loan, and why weren’t they named?

At least five major U.S. and European investment banks have expressed 'firm interest' in financing Petroperu’s $2 billion loan, according to Luis Del Carpio, executive president of Proinversion; however, the banks were not identified due to confidentiality reasons, and Del Carpio only noted they are 'names we are more familiar with when we talk about investment banking.'
