Glad to see @IFC_LAC supporting private credit in the Caribbean.
Big banks remain too restrictive in lending practices. Private credit helps marginalized groups to access better credit options in Caribbean.

Fintech is solving many problems in markets such as Mexico, India, Nigeria but they continue to skip smaller countries like those in the Caribbean and Central America.
How do small nations advance their economies when founders and VCs continue to overlook them? #caribbean

Caribbean merchants pay some of the highest card fees (as high as 27% of gross profit in some cases). Now merchants are threatening to no longer accept card pay’ts.
This is why seamless bank 2 bank or wallet 2 wallet pay’ts are needed in our region.

CAPSS is moving into pilot for Caribbean cross-border payments.
But are we building yesterday’s rails?
Stablecoin payments hit $401B through Aug, up 42%.
Could local Caribbean stablecoins be cheaper, faster—and easier to scale?

A new IMF paper found Mexico’s growth in alternative digital lending was associated with lower bank risk-taking and stronger competition.
The Caribbean doesn’t just need more credit. It needs more lenders competing to serve people banks overlook.

Had a conversation last week with Trinidadian company around the difficulty of converting TT dollars to USD given shortages. Is anyone in Trinidad and Tobago building infrastructure for stablecoin conversion? #trinidad #crypto #stablecoin

The Caribbean and Central America is ripe for disruption. Traditional companies aren’t innovating + large inefficiencies = opportunity. Pan regional plays with great products can reach dominant market share

Great day of #Commencement @Morehouse. Actress Angela Bassett, Professor Ed Gordon and philanthropist Robert Smith accepted honorary degrees. Smith committed to extinguish the student loan debt of all 396 graduates. #BeTheDifference

Thanks to Alfonso Romo, Chief of Staff of the President of Mexico, for such a positive meeting with IFC VP Georgina Baker and @AryNaim . We have committed $500 million of new investments since July, and look forward to doing more for Mexico’s inclusive and sustainable growth.
