Cross-border business

Brazil has established itself as one of the most dynamic markets in Latin America. The country is home to a large number of major corporations, leads key sectors such as energy, agribusiness and infrastructure, and hosts a sophisticated financial community. In this context, Agustina Ramírez, Head of BBVA CIB in Brazil, outlines how the bank has built a differentiated value proposition to position itself as a leading financial partner in the country.

For many companies, growth no longer simply means gaining market share at home, it means exploring new horizons. In this context, cross-border business has become a strategic decision to diversify risk and access new opportunities. BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking supports its clients' ambitions with a comprehensive offering that combines a global network, tailored financial solutions, and expert local insight.

The bank offers tailored solutions that help large corporations tackle the challenges of the energy transition, regulatory environment, and the decarbonisation of production models. With a global presence and specialized approach, BBVA CIB supports its clients across five strategic sectors — energy, infrastructure and construction, industry and transportation, TMT, and consumer, retail and leisure — with the goal of becoming their financial partner of reference.

The cross-border business is emerging as a key driver for companies seeking global expansion beyond their domestic markets. Within this evolving landscape, BBVA Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) provides expert advice, tailored financial solutions, and an extensive global network that connects major financial hubs with emerging markets. Through an innovative approach and comprehensive risk management, the bank supports its clients’ international growth.
