Economic integration and development: investment financing strategies regarding south American infrastructure

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the investment financing schemes for South American economic integration in infrastructure. The initiatives considered include increasing the stake of these countries in the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) and its regional role; Fonplata and IDB. The analysis of these schemes was based on resources that included the IIRSA - Cosiplan portfolio in relation to the participation of National Treasures by comparing the number and volume of resources for the EID - the scope of the projects they finance, the evolution of its loan portfolio as a whole or for regional physical integration and number of projects completed compared to those already running and predicted for portfolio. An important result that must be highlighted is the existence of isolated schemes and, in part, inadequate regional physical integration funding.
