A major milestone to celebrate!

S&P Global Ratings has assigned IDB Invest a AAA credit rating, the highest possible rating, recognizing the strength of our financial position, governance, and institutional transformation.

Combined with a record $13.1 billion in financing delivered in 2025 and a recent $3.5 billion capital increase, this milestone strengthens our ability to mobilize more private capital and scale financing for businesses and infrastructure projects that drive growth across #LatinAmerica and the #Caribbean.

It was fun to launch our Development World Cup with world champion Mario Kempes.

As the #WorldCup gets underway, we are reminded that soccer brings teamwork, creates connections, and fosters a sense of belonging.

Our IDB Group Development World Cup brings those same values—and serves to bring our colleagues together but also promote our “Sports for Development” projects: to strengthen vulnerable communities, help build skills and create opportunities across Latin America and the Caribbean.

Fue divertido lanzar nuestro Mundial del Desarrollo junto al campeón mundial Mario Kempes.

Mientras comienza la Copa Mundial, recordamos que el fútbol fomenta el trabajo en equipo, crea conexiones y fortalece el sentido de pertenencia.

Nuestro Mundial del Desarrollo del Grupo BID reúne esos mismos valores. También acerca a nuestros colegas y ayuda a promover nuestros proyectos de Deporte para el Desarrollo, que buscan fortalecer comunidades vulnerables, desarrollar habilidades y crear oportunidades en América Latina y el Caribe.

A major milestone for private sector-led development in Latin America and the Caribbean: @BIDInvest has achieved a AAA credit rating from S&P.

This is an important recognition of the institution’s transformation, strong governance, and financial strength.

Combined with our originate-to-share model and recent $3.5 billion capitalization, it will help expand financing for businesses and development across the region.

Congratulations to James, the IDB Invest team and the entire IDB Group on this achievement! Read more: https://t.co/ey5Y28CB2N

I participated in the virtual validation session of the 2025–2030 Recovery and Development Plan for northern #Haiti—an effort that highlights the importance of a clear roadmap, well-defined priorities, and effective coordination among stakeholders.

At @the_IDB, we are supporting key initiatives such as strengthening agricultural production in the north and modernizing strategic infrastructure. Advancing these efforts helps stimulate economic activity and lays the foundation for more sustainable development, with tangible impact on people’s opportunities and the country’s future.
