CAF, the development bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, and Sacyr have signed an agreement establishing a credit line of up to USD 250 million to partially finance the Sacyr Group’s investments in CAF shareholder countries. The agreement is intended to strengthen CAF’s regional presence by working with a global infrastructure partner and to support the development of sustainable infrastructure across the region.
The credit line will be deployed through three mechanisms: the disbursement of individual loans, the provision of partial credit guarantees and guarantees, and the acquisition of bonds. According to the institutions, the funds will be allocated exclusively to projects in strategic sectors, including sustainable infrastructure, water, sanitation and health, and transportation.
“This agreement not only represents an important step in CAF's strategy of accompanying the private sector in the development of projects that boost competitiveness, connectivity and sustainability in Latin America and the Caribbean, but also contributes to the fulfillment of a greater goal: to be another link in the achievement of the SDGs,” said Antonio Silveira, CAF's Vice President for the Private Sector.

Sacyr operates in more than 15 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania and is among the leading global infrastructure developers. The company manages more than 70 concessions and oversees over 5,200 kilometers of highways and railroads. Over the past two decades, Sacyr has invested more than USD 27 billion, supported by an integrated business model that spans the full infrastructure value chain, from design and construction to operation and maintenance.
In Latin America, Sacyr maintains a significant presence in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, and Paraguay. This regional footprint positions the company as a strategic partner for CAF in the implementation of priority projects focused on regional integration and sustainability.
The agreement reflects a broader effort by CAF to collaborate with private-sector partners to advance development objectives while supporting long-term infrastructure investments aligned with sustainable growth goals in Latin America and the Caribbean.
