Garcia says goodbye to IADB after 35 years

One of Latin America’s most distinguished banking careers will come to an end this month. Eloy Garcia, treasurer at the Inter-American Development Bank, will leave the multilateral after its annual meeting in Guatemala at the end of March after 35 years’ service.

The 62-year-old has reached the age for mandatory retirement from the bank.

“My last day will be March 31,” he says.

He will turn his attention to full-time teaching at John Hopkins University, where he has run a graduate course for the past 20 years. “One of the ideas is to start a centre for economics and finance for emerging markets with Latin America being a centrepiece.”

Garcia has been at the forefront of many of the IADB’s biggest incidents and initiatives.
