AF Consolidates its support for the Caribbean with Major Approvals for The Bahamas, Barbados, Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Board meeting in Seville sees historic loan to The Bahamas, approval of the issuance of Series C shares to Saint Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados\u2019 elevation to full membership status, and Trinidad and Tobago chairing the Board for the first time.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Seville, Spain. June 29, 2025)<\/em> – The Caribbean region featured prominently during the Board of Directors meeting of CAF \u2013 Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Seville, Spain, with several landmark developments in its deepening partnership with the region. A record USD 5.2 billion in development financing was approved for operations across Latin America and the Caribbean. These include energy sector reforms and the green energy transition, support for SME development, railway infrastructure expansion, agriculture, and sustainable urban development. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with its commitment to channelling increased development financing to the Caribbean, CAF approved its first sovereign loan to The Bahamas, the issuance of Series C shares for the incorporation of Saint Lucia as a new shareholder country, the issuance of increased Series C shares to Antigua and Barbuda enabling a larger envelope of financing and endorsed Barbados\u2019 transition to full (Series \u201cA\u201d) membership. This meeting was also historic in that it marked the first time a CARICOM country, Trinidad and Tobago, chaired CAF\u2019s Board of Directors meeting. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese decisions reflect the deepening partnership between the Caribbean and CAF. We are truly committed to providing agile, innovative and flexible financing to Caribbean SIDS and to leveraging our range of technical assistance and financial instruments in support of their development priorities,\u201d<\/em> said Sergio D\u00edaz-Granados, Executive President of CAF. \u201cThese increased investments reflect the confidence that our Caribbean shareholders have placed in CAF, and we do not take this lightly. We will deliver on our commitment and accompany our Caribbean shareholders in their development pathway to increased resilience as well as more inclusive and sustainable growth.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Sovereign Loan Approved for The Bahamas <\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CAF approved a USD 100 million loan to support energy sector reforms in The Bahamas, the institution\u2019s first sovereign operation with the country since it completed its incorporation process in November 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation will support key objectives outlined in the Bahamas National Energy Policy, including the modernization and digitalization of the electricity network, enhanced integration of renewable energy sources, improved affordability, and strengthened institutional capacity in the energy sector. It aims to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, improve energy access and efficiency, and bolster climate resilience, especially for vulnerable island communities. <\/p>

Saint Lucia to Join CAF as Shareholder, Antigua and Barbuda Increases Shareholding <\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CAF\u2019s Board approved the incorporation of Saint Lucia as a Series \u201cC\u201d shareholder, marking another step in the Bank\u2019s expanding relationship with the English-speaking Caribbean. Once the internal incorporation process is complete, Saint Lucia will be able to access CAF\u2019s financial, technical, and knowledge services in support of its development priorities. This also further extends CAF’s development assistance to the Eastern Caribbean, paving the way for CAF to become the development bank with the largest presence in the LAC region.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAF\u2019s Board also approved a request by the government of Antigua and Barbuda to increase its share subscription, less than two months after completing its incorporation process. With the increase in Series C shares, Antigua and Barbuda will be able to access a larger envelope of development financing to advance its national development priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbados Approved for Full Membership <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second time in the history of CAF, a CARICOM country has been approved to undergo the process towards full membership.  CAF\u2019s Board of Directors endorsed Barbados\u2019 request to transition from Series \u201cC\u201d to Series \u201cA\u201d shareholder status, the highest level of membership. This will enable Barbados to appoint a Director to CAF\u2019s Board and deepen its participation in the institution. Upon completion of the transition process, Barbados will join Trinidad and Tobago as a full member of the bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barbados first joined CAF in 2014 as a Series C shareholder and has become globally recognized for advocacy for increased climate financing and reforms to the international financial architecture through the Bridgetown Initiative.  CAF will open an office in Barbados later this year, which will also provide dedicated support to other countries in the Eastern Caribbean.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinidad and Tobago Chairs CAF Board for the First Time <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in CAF\u2019s history, a CARICOM country has chaired a meeting of its Board of Directors. The Honourable Dave Tancoo, newly appointed Minister of Finance of Trinidad and Tobago, presided over the June 29, 2025, meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinidad and Tobago assumed the rotating chairmanship of CAF\u2019s Board in March 2025, becoming the first English-speaking country to exercise this role. The Board of Directors is CAF\u2019s highest decision-making body and comprises representatives from its 23 shareholder countries. These include Ministers of Finance or Economy, Central Bank Governors and senior government officials. Trinidad and Tobago is currently the only full Series A shareholder from the English-speaking Caribbean. <\/p>\n
