CAF-AM highlights infrastructure investment opportunities in Paraguay during Cavialpa 2025 Forum

CAF Asset Management (CAF-AM) participated in the 5th Edition of the CAVIALPA Forum & Exhibition "Road to development with investment in infrastructure", organized by the Paraguayan Road Chamber. The meeting, held on October 6, 2025 at the Cultural Center of the Port of Asunción, was attended by the President of the Republic of Paraguay, Santiago Peña, as well as national authorities and representatives of the public, private and academic sectors to discuss infrastructure policies, financing mechanisms and sustainable development.

CAF-AM's CEO, Alberto Ñecco, participated as a panelist in the session "Infrastructure Policies, CPI and Infrastructure Managers", sharing with representatives of the energy, railway and waterway sectors. During the discussion, he highlighted the role of private debt funds and public-private partnerships (PPPs) as key instruments to mobilize private capital for infrastructure projects in Latin America and the Caribbean.

During his presentation, Ñecco presented CAF-AM's experience in the region, which currently manages approximately USD 2.2 billion through funds in Uruguay and Colombia. He also pointed out that Paraguay represents a priority market for CAF-AM, thanks to its macroeconomic stability and because it currently has an infrastructure gap of around USD 30 billion, according to estimates by the Ministry of Public Works and Communications (MOPC). In addition, the scenario of fiscal restrictions in Paraguay makes it even more opportune to promote financing through the private sector. In this context, he underscored the opportunity to promote local investment vehicles in guaraníes and strengthen the capital market as a basis for sustainable growth.

CAF-AM's participation in CAVIALPA 2025 reinforces its role as a specialized manager of sustainable investments and its vocation to accompany the countries of the region in the development of efficient, resilient and inclusive infrastructure.
