  "account": "The Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) has nearly doubled its portfolio in Uruguay to approximately US$2 billion. This expansion, reported by El Observador, signifies a commitment to financing infrastructure and development projects across the country. The majority of the portfolio is dedicated to water security and sustainable infrastructure, including a US$200 million dam project on the Casupá stream. This dam aims to secure water supply for Montevideo, Uruguay's capital. CAF, which finances projects in water, energy, mobility, and climate resilience, is hosting a meeting of economy ministers in Montevideo on October 1, 2026. At this meeting, they will approve new credit operations and technical assistance instruments. The CAF portfolio supports various infrastructure projects that improve daily life, such as water security, road, and power projects. With the expanded portfolio, Uruguay can pursue ambitious infrastructure goals, including securing water supply for years to come and unlocking further investments.",
