FONPLATA participated in the Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and the IMF, a key space for dialogue on economic and financial development.

The Bank's delegation was composed of Rafael Robles, Vice President of Finance a.i.; Matias Mednik, Head of Economic Analysis and Studies; and Rodrigo Saráchaga Sandar, Head of Financial Resources Management. They held strategic meetings with multilateral organizations, risk rating agencies, and players of the international financial market, strengthening cooperation and exploring new opportunities for sustainable development projects in the region.

During the meeting with representatives of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) of Latin America and the Caribbean, the delegation discussed the joint work agenda. MIGA was represented by Olga Calabozo Garrido, Regional Head for Latin America and the Caribbean; Irati Montenegro Campo, Operations Analyst; and Gloriana Echeverria, Senior Infrastructure Finance Specialist.

FONPLATA representatives also met with a delegation from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), an Italian financial institution focused on national promotion and international development cooperation. The delegation included Cristina Morelli, Director of Financing for Sovereign Entities, Financial Institutions, and Corporations; and Giulia Motolese, from the Financing for Sovereign and Subnational Governments division. They discussed and highly praised the first credit agreement —USD 30 million— signed last year with the Italian institution under FONPLATA's Sustainable Debt Framework to support green and blue projects in the River Plate Basin.

Finally, Rafael Robles and Matias Mednik participated in the Round Table between Multilateral Banks and Risk Rating Agencies organized by the Inter-American Development Bank. This initiative enabled CFOs and CROs of Multilateral Banks to discuss with the rating agencies about possible updates in their rating criteria.

FONPLATA continues working to strengthen alliances and leverage resources for the sustainable development and integration of member countries and the region.
