IFC in Latin America and the Caribbean
IFC has invested $88 billion in long-term finance and trade finance in Latin America and the Caribbean since our first project in Brazil, in 1957. This includes funds mobilized from partners. Today, IFC has offices in 16 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean which manage our operations in the region.
In the fiscal year that ended in June 2017, we committed $5.3 billion in long-term financing in Latin America and the Caribbean, including $2.6 billion mobilized by partnering institutions. By supporting the private sector, we helped countries in the region achieve inclusive growth, deepen regional economic integration, and address the challenges of climate change and natural-resource management.
