Vouga Abogados counsels OPEC Fund on US$45m Sudameris financing
Paraguay-based law firm Vouga Abogados has advised The OPEC Fund for International Development on a US$45 million senior loan granted to Sudameris Bank, one of Paraguay’s leading financial institutions.
The financing is intended to support lending to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across key sectors of the Paraguayan economy, contributing to financial inclusion, job creation, and sustainable economic growth.
The transaction aligns with The OPEC Fund’s mandate to promote economic and social development in emerging markets by channeling capital through established local financial institutions with a strong focus on productive lending.
The Vouga Abogados team was led by partner Carlos Vouga (pictured), with support from associates Belén Rodríguez and Yvo Salum, who advised on all legal aspects of the transaction.
