The document does not explicitly detail specific current or future capital expenditures (capex) or strategic investments. However, some related points include: - **Investment in digital platforms:** Significant focus on scaling complementary businesses like Nequi, Wompi, and Wenia indicates ongoing strategic investment in digital assets and platforms. - **Sustainable finance initiatives:** Bancolombia financed the second phase of the Túnel de Oriente via a sustainable infrastructure loan. - **Sustainable bond issuance:** Banistmo issued the first sustainable bond in Panama’s local market ($75 million), signaling strategic investment in climate action and financial inclusion. - **Operational efficiency projects:** Internal projects aimed at optimizing expenses across channels, operations, payments, and automation reflect ongoing strategic investment in operational capabilities.

The document does not mention any current or planned fundraising through debt or equity. Key points related to capital and funding are: - Grupo Cibest has a share buyback program approved for up to COP 1.35 trillion within one year; this is a buyback, not a new equity raise. - The focus is on capital optimization and operational efficiency rather than raising new equity. - The group maintains a strong deposit base with low-cost funding and is growing loans, particularly via Nequi. - No specific plans for new debt issuance or equity offerings were disclosed. - Capital management efforts aim at flexibility and profitability but involve cautious market-based execution of buybacks, not new fundraising. Thus, there is no indication of new fundraising through debt or equity currently or in the near future.
