The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (BCIE) has begun the process of implementing a new reduction in interest rates on its loans for the sovereign public sector. This initiative is the result of rigorous technical management and the optimization of its balance sheet. The reduction is based on recent achievements in capital markets. In January 2026, the bank issued global benchmarks totaling $2 billion, marking the largest funding in the entity's history. The accumulated benefit during this period is between 80 and 95 basis points, representing a tangible relief for the management of national budgets in the region. Notable are the improvements to the 'AA+' rating granted by S&P Global Ratings and Japan Credit Rating Agency, reflecting the high confidence of international investors in the institution's solidity. Through these actions, the bank reaffirms its position as the main source of multilateral resources for Central America.
