Background Established in 1959, we are the largest source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean, with a strong commitment to achieve measurable results, increased [|integrity], [|transparency] and [|accountability]. We have an evolving [|reform] agenda that seeks to increase our development impact in the region. While we are a regular bank in many ways, we are also unique in some key respects. Besides loans, we also provide grants, technical assistance and do research. Our shareholders are 48 [|member countries], including 26 Latin American and Caribbean borrowing members, who have a majority ownership of the IDB. Given our shareholder base and prudent management, we have a [|strong financial position]. As a result, the IDB is able to borrow in international markets at competitive rates and transfer that benefit to our clients in 26 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In May 2010, the Bank's Board of Executive Directors approved the new [|Access to Information Policy], to take effect on January 1, 2011. The new policy will replace the current [|Disclosure of Information Policy], which has been in effect since 2006. The new policy strengthens the Bank's commitment to transparency in all of its activities, ensuring that all information will be disclosed unless it is found on a narrow list of exceptions. The Policy establishes requirements for the timely availability of three types of information --operational, financial and institutional--and creates a two-stage review mechanism for instances in which access to information is denied. Information on [|environmental and social aspects] of selected operations, in particular, is disclosed in accordance with specific provisions in the Policy.
