November 2024 — Caja de Compensación de Asignación Familiar 18 de Septiembre (Caja 18) has successfully secured US$45 million in private financing through an unsecured syndicated loan led by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The loan is structured in two tranches of US$22.5 million, each with a four-year term starting from the disbursement of the respective tranche.
