Hogan Lovells advises FinDev Canada in US$30 million loan to CIFI to support economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean

FinDev Canada provides financing, investment, and blended finance solutions, as well as technical assistance and advisory, to promote sustainable and inclusive growth in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).

Hogan Lovells partner Alexis Sainz (IERP, Washington, D.C.) stated, “We are thrilled to have supported FinDev Canada on this important financing for Latin America and the Caribbean. The Hogan Lovells’ Infrastructure, Energy, Resources, and Projects (IERP) team has a very strong LatAm presence with deep relationships in the region, and this was a great opportunity for us to mobilize our team across borders.”

The loan will enable CIFI to expand access to financing for private sector infrastructure projects in Official Development Assistance eligible countries across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The Hogan Lovells deal team was led by partner Alexis Sainz (IERP, Washington, D.C.), senior associate Senal Ranatunga (IERP, Washington, D.C.), and junior associate Marcella Canteruccio (São Paulo). Isabel Carvalho (Capital Markets, São Paulo) was instrumental in mobilizing the cross-border team.
