FMO announced today the opening of a new regional office, focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. The office will be located in San José, Costa Rica.
FMO invests for impact, and works with a wide range of partners. As part of our updated strategy, we want to increase our local presence to maximize our impact, manage risk and connect with local communities. We see local communities as invaluable partners in the impact development process and ngo’s as an important sources of knowledge on local community needs, and potential contributors in market creation efforts.
We create impact by being additional in financing the private sector in low- and middle-income countries, focusing on four regions: Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region. With a local presence already in place in South Africa and Kenya, a regional office in Costa Rica is a next step in enhancing our network. The choice for Costa Rica is based on its strong business environment and its location at the heart of central America.
“Being part of society, living in the same time zone and being able to meet with partners more frequently is a tremendous advantage,’’ said Frouke Hoekstra, Manager of the Costa Rica office. "Our presence in Costa Rica will enhance our market intelligence, support new investment opportunities and increase our engagement with stakeholders."
