CAF Returns to the Pound Sterling Market With a £1 Billion Issuance and Rings the Bell at the London Stock Exchange

The ringing of the bell on the London Stock Exchange, one of the world's main financial platforms, reflects the confidence that global investors have in CAF's solvency and impact. The London Stock Exchange offers unparalleled visibility and access to a wide range of investors, further consolidating the institution's role as a trusted issuer in the global financial community.

"Today marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to supporting sustainable development and infrastructure projects in Latin America and the Caribbean by mobilizing resources from international capital markets to the region. “Over the past three decades, our presence in the bond markets has strengthened alliances with investors around the world, allowing us to secure the financing needed to drive progress and growth in the region,” said Sergio Díaz-Granados, CAF’s CEO.

In April, CAF successfully returned to the sterling market after 22 years with a 5-year £1 billion issue, considered an inaugural operation and which attracted strong demand from both UK and international investors. It is worth noting that it achieved the largest order book for any sterling operation on the London Stock Exchange in 2024 and set a record for inaugural operations in this market.

For more than three decades, CAF has been pursuing a strategy of diversifying its sources of financing, through an uninterrupted presence in global capital markets, which has placed it in a privileged position internationally. The multilateral institution promotes sustainable development and regional integration through efficient mobilization of resources for the timely provision of multiple, high value-added financial services to clients in the public and private sectors of shareholder countries.

The strategy for 2026 aims to transform CAF into the green bank for sustainable and inclusive growth in Latin America and the Caribbean, positioning it as a region that provides solutions to global challenges and improves the quality of life of its people.
