CABEI launches its new open data platform and announces a contest for journalists and researchers
Tegucigalpa, September 9, 2025.- The Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI) held a webinar entitled "Journalism and Research for Development: CABEI's New Open Data Platform," with more than 200 journalists and researchers participating.
During the event, the new open data portal was presented, designed to provide reliable and structured information that facilitates rigorous analysis and converts data into valuable knowledge for research, journalism, and decision-making. The launch of this first phase responds to one of the commitments of the Access to Information Policy (AIP), in force since July 2025, and is part of the activities of Transparency and Access to Information Month, in commemoration of International Universal Access to Information Day.
"This platform is a firm step forward in our commitment to accountability and is directly linked to the 2025-2029 Institutional Strategy, which promotes transparency as a pillar of our management," said the Bank's Executive President, Ms. Gisela Sánchez. For her part, the Director for Honduras and Director President of the Committee of Communications and Access to Information of the Institution, Ms. Belinda Carías Martínez, said: "With this platform, CABEI provides journalists and researchers with a resource that not only strengthens transparency, but also promotes the generation of knowledge and the development of solutions for our region."
At the same event, CABEI presented the Journalism and Research for Development Contest - CABEI Open Data, which aims to recognize work that uses information published by the Bank to showcase its contribution to sustainable development and regional integration. This initiative seeks to encourage constructive journalism that transforms data into impactful investigations and stories, demonstrating how transparency and public information are drivers of trust, knowledge, and progress for our societies.
