CABEI takes historic step towards transparency with the launch of the Public Registry of Information Requests

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, December 18, 2024. - The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) takes a historic step towards full transparency with the launch of its Public Registry of Information Requests. This innovative platform allows citizens to directly access information requests made to the Bank, the responses issued, and crucial data on response times and the status of requests, thus consolidating CABEI's commitment to accountability and strengthening public trust.

CABEI Executive President Gisela Sánchez stated, “With the launch of this registry, we are taking a firm step towards greater transparency. This tool not only facilitates access to information, but also demonstrates our commitment to maintaining an open management system that is accessible to all, always respecting the privacy and protection of applicants' sensitive information”. For his part, Carlos Sanguinetti, Titular Director for Argentina and Colombia and President of the Communications and Access to information Committee, emphasized:

“This is a key step forward in our commitment to maximize access to public information. By offering a clear and accessible platform, we reinforce public confidence in our work and provide a model of good transparency practices that can inspire other institutions.

With this launch, CABEI reaffirms its commitment to continuous improvement, accountability and strengthening public trust. By being the first multilateral institution to offer full visibility on the processing of information requests, the Bank is making decisive progress in its mission to promote transparency. This registry is also a key step in the implementation of the new Access to Information Policy, which will come into effect in June 2025. The registry is now available to the public at https://www.bcie.org/en/access-to-information/translate-to-english-registro-publico-de-solicitudes-de-informacion, consolidating another step to promote the Bank's openness.
