The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) has successfully placed US$80 million in bonds, aimed at an institutional investor in the Republic of Korea. This transaction reinforces the Bank’s franchise value in one of its member countries and in the Asian market, which represents 24% of its historical issues.
The issue was structured by Goldman Sachs International for an initial term of 30 years, under a structure that offers flexibility based on market conditions. This placement represents the longest-term issue in CABEI’s history, reflecting investors’ confidence in its long-term solidity, backed by the conservative approach to its financial management. It is also part of the Bank’s Financial Strategy, which promotes the use of innovative instruments to optimize and maximize access to stable resources for the development of member countries.
CABEI Executive President Gisela Sánchez highlighted the importance of this issue, saying: “We are extremely pleased with this new placement directed to an investor in the Republic of Korea, which reinforces our commitment to the Asian market, which is key for our institution”. She also said: “This year has been historic for CABEI in the capital markets, with aggregate fundraising to date exceeding US$2,495 million”.
With this issue, CABEI reaffirms its role as a key strategic partner for Central America, promoting long-term alliances with international investors committed to sustainable development and the well-being of member countries in the long term.
