Ilan Goldfajn, president of the Inter-American Development Bank, believes that the Punta Cana assembly will mark a turning point. The IDB sees strong support from the region to increase its capacity by 112 billion dollars.

“I think we are in a historic moment for the IDB group and we want this moment to also be historic for the region,” he insisted in a meeting with journalists this Thursday. The region is also facing a possible and potential change because of the global situation.
