Pros
IDB has invested in recruiting young, talented and highly motivated staff. it has been successful in promoting an inclusive and dynamic working culture where experienced development professional work hand in hand to solve some of the most challenging development challenges facing Latin America and the Caribbean.

The IDB has a AAA rating and the perfect size to stay competitive. IDB seems to enjoy its trajectory of growth, playing a central role in the economic development of the second fastest growing region of the world.
Kontras
