This document presents the findings of a survey conducted by ALIDE during its 55th General Assembly in 2025. The survey gathered insights from senior executives of 23 development finance institutions (DFIs) from Latin America, the Caribbean, and other regions, focusing on the impacts of the current global economic environment. Amid growing uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and external vulnerabilities, DFIs reported increased challenges in accessing financing, negative repercussions for their clients, and a heightened demand for stronger regional cooperation. The responses underscore the critical need for coordinated strategies to address these shared challenges. The study also emphasizes ALIDE’s important role as a regional platform that facilitates dialogue, strengthens institutional capacities, and generates technical knowledge. By fostering collaboration and information exchange among DFIs, ALIDE supports the region’s efforts to respond more effectively to global disruptions and to advance sustainable economic and social development across Latin America and the Caribbean.
