Global #Trends by BBVA: Multilateral Development Banks: Just lenders—or engines of capital markets?

Multilateral development banks (MDBs) have traditionally been seen as public sector lenders, but their role in global capital markets is evolving. As Marisa Pardo, Managing Director of the Public Sector for the Americas at BBVA, explains, MDBs are increasingly helping bridge the gap between public sector needs and private capital.

As investment needs across energy, climate and infrastructure continue to grow, collaboration between MDBs, financial institutions and investors is becoming increasingly important. BBVA works closely with MDBs and its clients to help unlock investment opportunities across Latin America and beyond.
