This workshop, which will be celebrated in Lima, Peru, is the first among five others to be celebrated in the region in 2018, where the highest standards in good corporate governance will be addressed.

Since 2011, the BBVA Microfinance Foundation has organized various workshops on this matter. The Foundation has trained more than 400 members of directors’ management boards from Colombia, Peru, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, with the collaboration of Abancord, Asomif, Banca de las Oportunidades, Bancoldex, Fepcmac, Redcamif/Redcom and other supervising organizations and associations.

The BBVAMF’s corporate governance code was selected as one of the best initiatives in transparency and good governance by the Fundación Compromiso y Transparencia.

Furthermore, the BBVAMF publishes the magazine “Progreso: Corporate Governance, Inclusion and Development”, where it quarterly informs about the new development and trends on international corporate governance.
