In a context marked by important social, political and economic transformation throughout 2017, CAF operated as a true ally of development in Latin American countries, not only from a financial perspective but also as a generator of knowledge. We have continued to do so because of the impact of our operations on critical areas such as urban mobility, regional integration, increased competitiveness, productive transformation, reduced inequality and the promotion of more sustainable cities. During 2017, we also promoted the consolidation of CAF as one of the main generators of knowledge about Latin American development and as a key actor to connect the region with the world.
