Latin America and the Caribbean Developing Banking has become a source of permanent innovation in developing technologies, financial and non financial products and services that are made available to productive and social sectors.

The relevance of developing banking is shown in its never-ending activity creating and
developing markets in its activity, strengthening and developing new non banking financial intermediaries, and by giving access to the financial system to important segments of the population that have a limited access to the traditional banking services.

This important contribution will be acknowledged by the Latin American Association of Development Financial Associations (ALIDE), as the representative body of the Latin America and the Caribbean developing banking, will award the most relevant practices of financial and non financial products and services, as well as the work on social and environmental responsibility performed by the regional developing banking.

ALIDE Awards 2011 aims to identify and honor the best practices and innovations in products and services in Latin America and the Caribbean developing banking, in order to acknowledge and highlight the work of these institutions in the development financing of their countries.
