This partnership will enhance collaboration and support projects and initiatives that drive sustainable development and foster economic growth in Brazil. By leveraging our combined expertise and resources, we can effectively contribute to addressing challenges in crucial sectors and promote economic progress,” said <strong>Executive Director of Planning and Institutional Relations of BNDES Nelson Barbosa.</strong></p></blockquote><p>The new CFA is anticipated to streamline coordination between the two institutions and build upon DFC and BNDESs existing support for recent projects that support e-mobility across Latin America and reforestation efforts in the Brazilian Amazon.</p><p class="text-align-center">### &nbsp;</p><p><strong>About DFC</strong></p><p><em>The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today. We invest across sectors including energy, healthcare, infrastructure, agriculture, and small business and financial services. DFC investments adhere to high standards and respect the environment, human rights, and worker rights.&nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p><p class="text-align-center">&nbsp;</p><p><strong>About BNDES</strong></p><p><em>Throughout its 72-year history, BNDES has been the main government instrument to promote long-term investments in the Brazilian economy, driving sectors and topics relevant to the countrys development, such as economic and social infrastructure, new industrialization, environment, and climate. Through its actions, the Bank works towards reducing inequalities, generating employment and income, and fostering social inclusion, within the necessary transition to a low-carbon economy. BNDES is one of the main financiers of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and, in times of crisis, it also acts countercyclically as one of the formulators of solutions for economic growth recovery. &nbsp;&nbsp;</em></p></div>
