CIFI launches its Sustainable Bond Framework with a first issuance of USD 6 million

Panama City, April 15, 2026 – CIFI announces the issuance of its first series of sustainable bonds for an amount of USD 6 million, carried out under its Revolving Corporate Bond Program, registered with Panama’s Superintendency of the Securities Market. This issuance marks the launch of CIFI’s new Sustainable Bond Framework and forms part of a program of up to USD 150 million, with maturities of up to ten years, aligned with the institution’s sustainable financing strategy.

The series was issued with a five-year tenor, quarterly interest payments, and principal repayment at maturity. The proceeds will be used to refinance or fund the primary placement of loans linked to CIFI’s sustainable portfolio, which includes projects with measurable environmental and social impacts in sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, resilient infrastructure, water and sanitation, connectivity, and essential services across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Program carries an A+.pa rating granted by Moody’s Local PA, reflecting CIFI’s strong credit profile and market confidence in its business model and financial management capabilities.

“This first issuance under our Sustainable Bond Framework represents a key step in the evolution of our financing strategy, integrating financial discipline with robust sustainability and transparency criteria,” said Neila Urriola, CIFI’s Treasury Director. “The rating obtained and the market’s response confirm the strength of our financial structure and enhance our access to capital markets to continue supporting sustainable projects in the region,” she added.

The bond is issued under CIFI’s Sustainable Bond Framework, developed by Ernst & Young Audit S.A.S. (EY), which establishes a comprehensive governance approach for the issuance of green, social, and sustainable bonds under the revolving corporate program. The framework is aligned with the Green Bond Principles (GBP) 2025, the Social Bond Principles (SBP) 2025, and the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG) of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), and incorporates clear criteria for project selection and evaluation, management of proceeds, and periodic reporting of environmental and social impacts.

As part of the external verification process, Moody’s Ratings issued an independent second-party opinion and assigned the program a Sustainability Quality Score of SQS2 (very good), highlighting its alignment with international best practices and its strong contribution to sustainability objectives.

With this inaugural issuance under its new framework, CIFI reinforces its commitment to the development of sustainable capital markets and consolidates its role as a regional financing platform focused on mobilizing private capital toward resilient, inclusive infrastructure aligned with the climate and social challenges of Latin America and the Caribbean.
