Inter-American Development Bank
We work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through
financial and technical support for countries working to reduce poverty
and inequality, we help improve health and education, and advance
infrastructure. Our aim is to achieve development in a sustainable,
climate-friendly way. With a history dating back to 1959, today we are
the leading source of development financing for Latin America and the
Caribbean. We provide loans, grants, and technical assistance; and
we conduct extensive research. We maintain a strong commitment to
achieving measurable results and the highest standards of integrity,
transparency, and accountability.
The IDB prioritizes social inclusion and equality; productivity and
innovation; and regional economic integration in its development work
across Latin America and the Caribbean. In doing so, it addresses the
cross-cutting issues of gender equality and diversity; climate change
and environmental sustainability; and institutional capacity and the
rule of law.

Assuria
Assuria NV is the largest insurance company in Suriname. In 2012,
Assuria NV established itself as the first fully Surinamese financial
institution abroad by setting up a subsidiary in Guyana. In April 2013,
Assuria NV completely took over the non-life insurer Gulf Insurance
Limited, located in Trinidad & Tobago.
In 2015, Assuria NV acquired a 77% majority stake in the life insurer
MEGA Insurance Company Ltd, also based in Trinidad & Tobago.
(MEGA). Unlike Gulf Insurance Limited which operates in several
countries, MEGA is based exclusively in Trinidad. The acquisition of
the stake in MEGA is a strategic step with which Assuria increases its
presence in the Caribbean region. The name MEGA has been changed
to Assuria Life (T&T) Ltd.
