CAF, the development bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, has entered into a credit agreement with Sacyr for up to USD 250 million. The funds will be used to partially finance Sacyr Group’s investments in countries that are shareholders of CAF. This move aims to expand CAF’s regional influence through a partnership with Sacyr, a company recognized for its work in sustainable infrastructure.
The credit line will be made available in three ways: individual loans, partial credit guarantees and guarantees, and bond acquisitions. All resources provided under this agreement will support projects in sectors considered strategic, including sustainable infrastructure, water, sanitation and health, as well as transportation.
Antonio Silveira, CAF’s Vice President for the Private Sector, stated: “This agreement not only represents an important step in CAF’s strategy of accompanying the private sector in the development of projects that boost competitiveness, connectivity and sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean, but also contributes to the fulfillment of a greater goal: to be another link in the achievement of the SDGs.”
Sacyr operates in more than 15 countries across Europe, America, Asia and Oceania. The company manages over 70 concessions and is responsible for more than 5,200 kilometers of highways and railroads. Over the past two decades, Sacyr has invested more than USD 27 billion globally. Its expertise covers all stages of infrastructure projects from design through operation and maintenance.
In Latin America specifically, Sacyr has established operations in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil and Paraguay. This presence positions Sacyr as a key partner for CAF on regional integration and sustainability initiatives.
