Notes: The Nicaraguan economy is centered around agriculture and manufacturing. 35% of our GDP is concentrated in Agriculture and Industry vs 26% in the rest of Central America. The growth trends for these segments (agro and industry) in Nicaragua are the highest in Central America. Except for the construction industry, Nicaragua s growth has been between 2.1% and 5.3 % in all its activities. As of the end of 2008, BDF had a very small part of its loan portfolio in agriculture and industry, and a very high participation in construction through mortgage financing. Fuente: Cepal

During the last 10 years our financial system has changed its balance from one with a heavy reliance on investments to one with emphasis in loan portfolios. The loan portfolio has grown on average 15% per year, with the corporate segment as its main contributor. The capitalization ratio has improved since December 2002 in accordance with the changes in regulations and due to the type of banking groups that own the local banks.

Has provided funds in an efficient and timely manner and at competitive rates of interest. Has paved the way to other financing structures with the IFC.
