BIF Joins IFC’s Global Trade Finance Program

Peru’s Banco Interamericano de Finanzas (BIF) has joined IFC’s global trade finance program, the IFC says. “IFC’s support to BIF is in line with our strategy in Peru to improve access to finance for SMEs and to expand global trade opportunities for local firms, helping mitigate the impact of the financial crisis,” says Roberto Albisetti, IFC country manager for Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. BIF is the first Peruvian bank to join the program, which in LatAm includes 33 banks in 13 countries.
