This article aims at analyzing descriptively how the development of infrastructure is an important component of competitiveness in the period from 2006 to 2016. This paper compares the investment behavior in transportation infrastructure based on the variables which measure its competitive outcomes, among which costs, time, quality and logistic performance are found for each of the country members of the Pacific Agreement, taking into consideration information sources such as The World Bank, World Economic Forum (WEF), Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and Infralatam. Based on this research study, it is shown that there is a close relationship between the quality of transportation infrastructure and the competitive level of the countries involved in such study.
