Part I: The History of the Banco da Amazônia
The Banco da Amazônia was founded in 1966 by a group of visionary Brazilian economists and environmentalists. The bank's mission was to promote economic development in the Amazon region while protecting the rainforest and its people.
In the early years, the Banco da Amazônia focused on providing loans to small farmers and businesses in the Amazon region. The bank also played a key role in financing the construction of infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges, and schools.
As the Banco da Amazônia grew, it began to expand its operations to other parts of Brazil and the world. Today, the bank has offices in all of Brazil's major cities, as well as in several other countries.
