The International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) of the United States announced together with IDB Invest the launch of the “Americas Partnership Platform”. The Platform seeks to expand cooperation and financing for high-quality critical infrastructure and other strategic economic sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).

With this initiative, the institutions will collaborate with the Alliance of the Americas to build sustainable infrastructure, promote inclusive economic growth, and strengthen regional competitiveness and integration for the benefit of LAC region people. The Platform will allow greater information-sharing and coordination between the two institutions on matters such as due diligence and client engagements to facilitate potential co-investment opportunities.

DFC and IDB Invest have initiated consultations on projects worth 3 billion dollars that may be eligible for financing under the Platform.
