The Trinidad and Tobago Mortgage Bank (TTMB) has been awarded Social Bond of the Year – Deal of the Year at the Global Banking and Markets Awards, recognising its groundbreaking TTD $550 million gender-focused social bond.
The award highlights innovative transactions across Latin America and the Caribbean. TTMB’s issuance — its first thematic bond and only the second of its kind locally — is designed to expand affordable housing financing, particularly for women and women-led households.
The social bond framework was developed with advisory support from IDB Invest and aligns with the International Capital Market Association Social Bond Principles.
Proceeds will support government-subsidised mortgages targeting low- to middle-income families who often face barriers to traditional financing.
Chief Executive Officer Brent McFee said the recognition underscores TTMB’s commitment to inclusive mortgage financing and advancing gender equality.
Building on the award-winning issuance, TTMB is preparing to introduce a new product tailored specifically for women and women-led households, further expanding access to homeownership in Trinidad and Tobago.
