In order to
promote sustainable development and regional integration of its
shareholder countries, CAF works as a financial intermediary to borrow resources from industrialized countries for use in Latin America, promoting investments and business opportunities in the region.
With these resources,
CAF’s strategy focuses on promoting the socioeconomic development of its shareholder countriesby financing operations to
improve competitiveness within the different sectors of the economy,
social and economic infrastructure development, physical and border integration in the region, development of small and micro enterprises, consolidation of national and regional financial markets, development of human resources, and state reform and modernization.
In all of the foregoing activities, CAF takes environmental and social factors into consideration to ensure the sustainable use of natural resources.
Along these lines, CAF provides multiple, valuable and timely
financial services to the public and private sectors in the form of loans, guaranties, collateral financial advisory services, investment banking, treasury services, shareholdings, and technical cooperation, among others. (go to
