Mexico's finance minister takes top honors at LatinFinance Infrastructure Awards Gala
NEW YORK, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mexico's finance minister Rogelio Ramírez de la O accepted top honors last night on behalf of the Mexican government at a gala announcing LatinFinance's 2024 Project & Infrastructure Finance Awards, which recognize the most impressive transactions and institutions in an area critical to economic progress in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Ramírez De la O accepted the award for Infrastructure Financing of the Year: Latin America in recognition of a ground-breaking Mexican government-backed $6.27 billion transaction to buy 13 power plants from Spain's Iberdrola, in a deal that also won Power Financing of the Year.
The minister was joined by over 250 leading global project sponsors, infrastructure investors, financiers, and advisors involved in projects across Latin American and the Caribbean, who convened in New York for the annual Awards Dinner, now in its 11th year.
The announcement of this year's winners followed 2024 LatinFinance's Energy, Infrastructure & Sustainable Finance Roundtable, a series of high-level, editorially-led discussions among top project sponsors and developers alongside key investors, law firms and financiers. The discussions – hosted by LatinFinance along with Spanish bank Santander, international law firm White & Case and IDB Invest, the private sector arm of the Inter-American Development Bank – focused on the mega-trends impacting the marketplace across key jurisdictions and sectors in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Winners are determined independently by LatinFinance's editors following an extensive judging process that involved the evaluation of a record number of submissions this year.
The full list of winners can be found in here https://latinfinance.com/pifa-2024-winners/ and in the Q4 2024 edition of LatinFinance magazine.
