Santo Domingo.- Cox, a company specializing in energy and water infrastructure, strengthens its financial structure through a $30 million corporate loan granted by the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF), to promote investments with a high positive environmental impact, the generation of green jobs and the strengthening of energy chains, in Mexico, Colombia, Dominican Republic and Central America.

The financing, with a term of five years, reflects CAF's confidence in Cox's strategic plan and business model. The agreement represents the first step of a joint alliance that will contribute to financing Cox's growth in the region.

We appreciate CAF's support for a growth model that is committed to sustainable, resilient and innovative solutions for access to water and energy, as well as promoting the sustainable development of local communities."

For his part, Antonio Silveira, vice president of the Private Sector of CAF, highlighted that "the agreement represents a concrete step in CAF's commitment to support the private sector as a driver of productive transformation, social inclusion and decarbonization. The alliance with Cox is aligned with the bank's strategy to promote investments with a high positive environmental impact, the generation of green jobs and the strengthening of sustainable energy chains in countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Dominican Republic and Central America, among others."
