For developing countries, manufacturing plays an important role, both in terms of employment and output, as globalization has led firms to establish cross border production networks.   To compete effectively in a global economy, countries in Latin America and the Caribbean need to continue to attract investment in state-of-the art manufacturing facilities from local players and foreign companies alike.  Manufacturing provides valuable jobs to workers and opportunities for companies to grow industrial operations profitably.

BRIC Advisory helps the private sector access long-term capital from development institutions to grow operations across a range of manufacturing industries, including autos, textiles, chemicals, materials and numerous others.  Along with industrial expansion come environmental concerns, especially among multilateral and national development banks.  As an exclusive arranger of loans from development institutions, BRIC Advisory thoroughly understands banks' environmental and climate policies for lending to industrial projects.  Our bankers originate and execute loan transactions that provide manufacturing clients with liquidity to build and expand their facilities, while at the same time, structure transactions to reflect each bank's emphasis on sustainable environmental policies.

Efforts by manufacturers to expand and modernize production facilities are a vital component of economic growth.  Modern, efficient factories create opportunities to sell into local markets and export products internationally.  A well paid, highly skilled work force is needed to operate state-of-the-art facilities, contributing to both employment and higher incomes.  Multilateral development banks such as the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank's International Finance Corporation and the European Investment Bank extend credit to private sector firms operating in the manufacturing sector to facilitate economic development.  Unlike other financial institutions, BRIC Advisory operates with an exclusive mandate to arrange bank loans from multilateral development banks, national development banks and export credit agencies.  Credit provided by development institutions enabled the following manufacturers to construct and modernize their plant facilities:
