"We have issuers that have some type of green, social, or sustainable issue, we are close to having the first blue bond on the list, it will be the first in the region of Central America and the Caribbean. It fills us with great pride because it is the result of the efforts we are working on," he commented.

He added that the next enlistment “is also recognizing that to the extent that we achieve the internationalization of our capital market, those types of investments for which foreign investors have a high appetite.”
