CAF Trains Paraguay Government Agencies in Structured Financing
CAF—development bank of Latin America—organized a workshop for Paraguay’s Development Financial Agency and other institutions, thus supporting the diversification of financing in the South American nation. The workshop builds on regional experience in Public-private Partnership (PPP) projects and in other sectors such as energy, infrastructure and utilities
CAF—development bank of Latin America—held a structured financing workshop on October 4-6 at the Sheraton Hotel in Asuncion, with a view to strengthening Paraguay’s Financial Development Agency (AFD) through knowledge transfer. The training used real Latin America cases in different sectors such as renewable and non-renewable energy, infrastructure, public services, among others. In addition, special emphasis was placed on practical experiences of PPP projects.
The objective of the training workshop is to provide theoretical-practical tools of project financing and structured loans; to improve academic training in very specific topics on corporate finance for immediate application and as part of the agenda of executives in identifying and selecting opportunities in the Paraguayan market; and to develop skills to identify typical risks and manage project client/shareholder expectations; among others.
CAF’s priority is to support development banks and other institutions in its member countries. As part of these actions, it has devised programs for exchange of experiences and training for officials from various entities, which in the case of this workshop will include, in addition to AFD executives, executives from the Central Bank of Paraguay, the National Development Bank, the Technical Secretariat of Planning and the Ministry of Finance.
