| CAF raises funds for operations primarily in the international financial markets, although a smaller portion comes from the region’s shareholder countries.
CAF’s strategy with respect to funding, to the extent possible under prevailing market conditions, is to match the maturities of its liabilities to the maturities of its loan portfolio.
In order to diversify its funding sources and to offer potential borrowers a wide range of credit facilities, CAF raises funds through bond issues in both regional shareholder countries as well as in the international capital markets.
The Institution also accepts deposits and obtains loans and credit lines from central banks, commercial banks and, as long as they are related to projects financed by CAF, export credit agencies.
CAF has obtained medium and long-term loans and credit lines from multilateral and bilateral institutions, as well as from international banks, in order to support the development of its short, medium and long term activities.
Aiming to support the long-term development of infrastructure and projects, CAF has subscribed to credit agreements with multilateral agencies and official institutions of developed countries, and has obtained credit lines and loans from international banks on very attractive terms and conditions.
Among the multilateral and official institutions who have granted loans or credit lines to CAF are:
CAF has had an important presence in the international capital markets for over a decade, with an investor-oriented funding strategy that aims to reach a broad range of investors, offering flexibility in terms of maturities and attractive returns relative to risk.

In addition, CAF has also tapped the regional markets and placed local currency issues in Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
