Latin America and the Caribbean

IFC’s investments in Latin America and the Caribbean continued to grow even during turbulent economic times. In FY10, IFC committed over $3 billion for our own account—a record—and mobilized an additional $827 million in syndication and parallel co-financing for clients in the region. 

We diversified our portfolio across 21 countries in the region with investments concentrated in financial markets, infrastructure, and manufacturing and services.

Our investment strategy increasingly targeted Central American and Caribbean countries. IFC supported 133 investment projects, of which 30 percent were in Central America and the Caribbean.
