Financing firm Klym by Coval has appointed Daniela Torres Sáenz as its new Country Manager in Colombia amid economic challenges. The company recorded nearly $3 trillion in disbursements last year, benefiting over 1,400 businesses.
In an economic setting where GDP grew by 2.6% in 2025 and the minimum wage rose by 23.7%, according to the National Administrative Department of Statistics, Colombian firms face pressures on liquidity and working capital. The one-year financing cost approaches 14%, with real rates hitting a high of 8%.
Klym by Coval, a subsidiary of Chile's Coval with over 25 years of experience, announced the appointment of Daniela Torres Sáenz as Country Manager. Torres, with more than 17 years in commercial strategies in the financial sector, including positions at Latam Trade Market and the Kapital group, will lead the expansion of operations in Colombia.
In 2025, the company disbursed nearly $3 trillion, aiding over 1,400 businesses. Over more than a decade in the country, it has linked more than 6,000 companies to its platform and structured 44 confirming programs, which enable invoice payment anticipation to enhance cash flow.
For 2026, Klym by Coval aims to reach $2 trillion in placements, maintain an average portfolio of US$70 million, and broaden its presence in key regions. The focus will emphasize agile solutions for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
"The biggest problems for companies are often the easiest to solve when we simplify the complex through communication. That will be one of our main bets," Torres stated.
