García visits Costa Rica to analyze future infrastructure projects

CAF Executive President Enrique García announced Thursday in San Jose, Costa Rica, the possibility of approving financial operations totaling $160 million for the Central American nation.

The CAF chief executive was visiting the country to analyze future operations with government authorities. Costa Rica became a CAF shareholder last year.

García emphasized CAF´s support for the Puebla-Panama plan which covers infrastructure projects, and announced the possibility of financing a products pipeline. Funds will also be granted to finance road projects and an integration program between Costa Rica and Panama, including a bridge over the Sixaola River.

The CAF will work with the Central American Bank to support Costa Rica´s efforts in concessions, including the San Jose-San Ramon corridor, García added.
