Financing Mechanisms and Guarantees

The Working Group on Financing Mechanisms and Guarantees was created by the COSIPLAN Ministers at their

Second Ordinary Meeting (Brasilia, November 2011).

Its creation reveals that the question of financing mechanisms and guarantees is one of the greatest challenges to the implementation of projects. Therefore, its actions seek to identify financial solutions for the efficient execution of the Integration Priority Project Agenda (API) projects.

At the Third Ordinary Meeting of COSIPLAN Ministers (Lima, November 2012), the Federal Republic of Brazil was

commissioned with the task of coordinating the WG.

API includes 31 structured projects and 103 individual projects for an estimated investment amount higher than US$21 billion.
