The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) broke new ground with its first annual impact report under its Sustainable Bond Framework.
It was the issuer's first impact report to consolidate each of its outstanding issuances into a single, portfolio-wide document – strengthening transparency for its investors and making it easier for CABEI to plot its own progress, compared with earlier disclosures which were produced on a bond-by-bond basis.
Its report covers the impact of CABEI's policy loans financed through the deals, which were added as eligible financing in its 2024 framework and by which it helps member countries deploy their development strategies, "while embedding a sustainable development mandate directly into the loan structure," the issuer said.
This helps nations address structural challenges such as climate resilience, renewable energy expansion, and social inclusion.
The report was prepared with advisory support from BNP Paribas and it was externally reviewed by Moody’s Ratings, which CABEI said reinforces transparency for investors.
