Panama, February 28, 2025 – The Corporación Interamericana para el Financiamiento de Infraestructura, S.A. (CIFI), reaffirms its presence in the Colombian capital market with the successful placement of its second issuance of ordinary bonds in the Second Market, totaling COP 35,568 million (equivalent to USD 8.6 million).
This issuance marks a milestone for CIFI, as it is the first time the company has issued a dollar-indexed bond in a foreign market, reinforcing its commitment to funding diversification and its ability to offer innovative financial instruments to investors.
The issuance, with a three-year amortizable term and a fixed annual effective interest rate, was targeted at institutional investors in Colombia and structured with the support of Equilibrio Capital as investment advisor. It received a credit rating from Fitch Ratings Colombia S.A. and was placed through Casa de Bolsa S.A.
For César Cañedo-Argüelles, CIFI’s CEO, this transaction represents another step in the company’s growth and diversification strategy:
“With this second issuance in Colombia, CIFI continues to establish itself as an active issuer in the region’s capital markets, offering an investment alternative linked to responsible and high-impact energy and infrastructure projects in Latin America and the Caribbean. Additionally, the dollar-indexed structure allows us to better align our funding with our operations, providing greater financial stability and new opportunities for our investors.”
The funds from this issuance will be used for CIFI’s ordinary course of business, in line with its commitment to financing projects that promote well-being in the region.
The success of this issuance was made possible through collaboration with key strategic partners:
• Stock Exchange: NUAMX (Colombian Stock Exchange)
• Supervision: Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia
• Administrator: Deceval
• Legal Counsel: Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría
With over 215 projects financed in the region and USD 21 billion mobilized, CIFI continues working to close the infrastructure gap in Latin America and the Caribbean, channeling resources from development institutions, commercial banks, and capital markets.
This second issuance in Colombia, along with its innovative dollar-indexed structure, reinforces CIFI’s commitment to offering attractive and high-impact investment products, driving sustainable economic growth across the region.
