We Improve lives
IDB Invest is the private sector arm of the IDB Group and an international financial institution committed to addressing the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Our mission is to support sustainable enterprises and projects that deliver financial results while maximizing social and environmental impact in the region.
IDB Invest operates in 26 countries, structured across four geographic regions and three industry verticals: Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Institutions, and Corporates.
In support of a new transformative business model “Originate to Share” our shareholders recently approved a $3.5 billion capitalization. This will allow IDB Invest to significantly scale up its investments, nearly doubling annual financing from approximately $8 billion to $19 billion, and unlocking greater private sector participation to drive development and climate impact across the region.
To deliver on the above-mentioned, “Originate to Share” business model, IDB Invest has reorganized its structure. As part of this transformation, the newly created Regions Department (RGS), in partnership with the public‑sector arm of the IDB Group, manages relationships with national governments through dual reporting and oversight of the IDB Group Country Representatives. Additionally, RGS, under dual reporting with the Industries and Cross‑Cutting Themes Department (ICT), supervises the Delivery Units responsible for executing operational programs, managing client relationships at the country level, and leading upstream pipeline development for IDB Invest. RGS is composed by four Divisions as follows:
- Southern Cone Division: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay
- Andean Region Division: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
- Caribbean Division: The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.
- Central America Division: Belize, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama.
The Industries and Cross Cutting Themes Department (ICT) manages business and client engagement from an industry perspective. It is composed of six divisions: three focused on core industries (Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Institutions, and Corporates); two focused on cross-cutting themes (Climate and Environment and Economic Opportunities); and one dedicated to Portfolio Management.
