NEW
YORK, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Mexico's finance minister Rogelio Ramírez de la O accepted
top honors last night on behalf of the Mexican government at a gala
announcing LatinFinance's 2024 Project & Infrastructure Finance
Awards, which recognize the most impressive transactions and
institutions in an area critical to economic progress in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
Ramírez De la O accepted the award for Infrastructure Financing
of the Year: Latin America in
recognition of a ground-breaking Mexican government-backed
$6.27 billion transaction to buy 13
power plants from Spain's
Iberdrola, in a deal that also won Power Financing of the Year.
The minister was joined by over 250 leading global project
sponsors, infrastructure investors, financiers, and advisors
involved in projects across Latin American and the Caribbean,
who convened in New York for the annual Awards
Dinner, now in its 11th year.
The announcement of this year's winners followed 2024
LatinFinance's Energy, Infrastructure & Sustainable
Finance Roundtable, a series of high-level, editorially-led
discussions among top project sponsors and developers alongside key
investors, law firms and financiers. The discussions – hosted by
LatinFinance along with Spanish bank Santander, international law
firm White & Case and IDB Invest, the private sector arm of the
Inter-American Development Bank – focused on the mega-trends
impacting the marketplace across key jurisdictions and sectors
in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Winners are determined independently by LatinFinance's editors
following an extensive judging process that involved the evaluation
of a record number of submissions this year.
The full list of winners can be found in here
https://latinfinance.com/pifa-2024-winners/ and in the Q4
2024 edition of LatinFinance magazine.
