IDB Invest โ€“ Blended Finance Managing Director

Washington D.C.

IDB Invest

IDB Invest is an international financial institution and the private sector arm of the IDB Group that aims to solve development needs in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our mission is to support sustainable enterprises and projects that achieve financial results while maximizing regional social and environmental development. IDB Invest operates in 26 countries grouped into four regions and three industries (Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Intermediaries, and Corporates).

IDB Invest's shareholders recently approved a $3.5 billion capitalization to support a transformative business model, \"Originate to Share,\" to attract greater private investment that drives development and climate impact in Latin America and the Caribbean. This will enable IDB Invest to nearly double its annual regional investments from approximately $8 billion to $19 billion.

IDB Invest has reorganized its structure to implement this new business model, creating the Financial Solutions, Mobilization, and Asset Sharing (FSM) Department. This department will support the industries and regions department in structuring transactions, mobilizing assets for investors, and managing the equity business.
