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 Intermediaries, 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.

IDB Invest is strengthening its focus on financial sustainability and long‑term profitability.

• Enhance long‑term financial planning models to integrate capital adequacy, liquidity, funding costs, and profitability metrics in a coherent framework.
• Support scenario analysis on capital strategies, including retained earnings generation, hybrid instruments, risk transfers, and portfolio rebalancing.
