The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) is expanding its financial support and regional presence. In Paraguay, the bank has announced intentions to provide up to USD 3 billion in additional financing to support infrastructure, energy, water, sanitation, and digital connectivity projects.

Looking toward 2030, CAF aims to double its regional presence to help Latin American nations overcome the ‘middle-income trap.’ The bank is targeting strategic sectors including energy, critical minerals, digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and logistics. Its strategy also emphasizes investing in human capital and innovation.
