We are the IDB
We are the Inter-American Development Bank.
We were born to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We are the main source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean.
With a history of results dating to 1959, we work to improve the quality of life of millions of people in our 26 borrowing countries. We have 48 member countries.
We provide financial and technical support to national and sub-national governments and other entities in the region and conduct cutting-edge research. That is how we drive progress in health, education, infrastructure, climate action and diversity, among other fundamental issues, to reduce poverty and improve lives in our region.
Working with our member countries, our goal is sustainable and inclusive development in the region.
