A central element of its growth strategy is development of infrastructure and technology. BBVA has just implemented a new core banking platform, which incorporates state-of-the-art web technology and service-oriented architecture and the latest database technology. This platform will be critical in the development and distribution of new products and services as the bank goes forward.
A clear emphasis is also being placed on efficiency of its buildings. BBVA Paraguay has just begun construction of its future head offices in Asuncion, which will have Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Certification, awarded by the Green Building Council in the US. It will be the first building in Latin America and the first among the BBVA group to achieve this accreditation.
