Hogan Lovells wins multiple Deal of the Year awards at the Global Banking and Markets Latin America & Caribbean Awards 2026

The firm was recognized for its role advising on three major deals:

• Caribbean Deal of the Year: Advised the Government of the Bahamas on its US$1.067 billion offering of 144A/Reg S notes and concurrent debt tender offer

• Blended Finance Deal of the Year: Advised the Republic of Ecuador on historic "debt-for-nature" swap to fund conservation projects in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The transaction consisted of a US$1bn 144A/Reg S offering of Biocorredor Amazónico Bonds by Amazon Conservation DAC, a related US$1 billion loan to the Republic and a repurchase of approximately US$1.53 billion of Ecuador’s international bonds, which is expected to generate over US$800 million in net fiscal savings for Ecuador by 2035

• Securitisation Deal of the Year: Advised Guatemala-based Banco Industrial on its three-Series US$996 million offering from its diversified payment rights (DPR) securitization program. The nearly US$1 billion offering is believed to be the largest financial future flow offering ever from the Central American and Caribbean region

Winners will be showcased at the GBM Awards: Latin America & Caribbean 2026 on 26 February in Aventura, FL. The awards will recognize the most innovative & ground-breaking deals from Latin America & the Caribbean. Read more about the awards here.
