Caribbean Basin financing opportunities : a guide to financing trade and investment in Central America and the Caribbean Basin

This guide identifies more than 75 financing mechanisms and institutions that support domestic and foreign investment and trade in the Caribbean Basin by supplementing the limited financing that is available from local commercial banks. The report provides background information, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and key contacts for each of these 75 financing sources, which are divided into four types: (1) bilateral programs of the United States (e.g., Export-Import Bank) and other developed countries; (2) international and regional sources (e.g., Caribbean Development Bank, the World Bank"s International Finance Corporation); (3) private organizations (e.g., Latin American Export Bank); and (4) institutions in individual member countries. Appendices include a functional table of contents (by sector, country, and type of financing), a chart of the major financial indicators (by country), and a listing of Caribbean Basin financial institutions (by country).
