2. 2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements of expected future developments within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can
be identified by words such as: “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “seek”, “believe”, “project”, “estimate”, “expect”, “strategy”,
“future”, “likely”, “may”, “should”, “will” and similar references to future periods. The forward-looking statements in this
presentation include the Bank’s financial position, asset quality and profitability, among others. These forward-looking statements
reflect the expectations of the Bank’s management and are based on currently available data; however, actual performance and
results are subject to future events and uncertainties, which could materially impact the Bank’s expectations. Among the factors
that can cause actual performance and results to differ materially are as follows: the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and
government actions intended to limit its spread; the anticipated changes in the Bank’s credit portfolio; the continuation of the
Bank’s preferred creditor status; the impact of increasing/decreasing interest rates and of the macroeconomic environment in the
Region on the Bank’s financial condition; the execution of the Bank’s strategies and initiatives, including its revenue diversification
strategy; the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for expected credit losses; the need for additional allowance for expected credit
losses; the Bank’s ability to achieve future growth, to reduce its liquidity levels and increase its leverage; the Bank’s ability to
maintain its investment-grade credit ratings; the availability and mix of future sources of funding for the Bank’s lending operations;
potential trading losses; the possibility of fraud; and the adequacy of the Bank’s sources of liquidity to replace deposit withdrawals.
Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
all of them. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Commercial Portfolio by Country
* Even though Colombia is still rated investment grade by one of the major credit
rating agencies, Bladex decided to classify it as non-investment grade following the
downgrades by the two remaining main credit rating agencies
The Commercial Portfolio’s growth was mainly focused on Financial Institutions (CO, GT and Non-Latam) and oil & gas
downstream mostly in Peru, still preserving sound credit quality through well diversified exposures with top-tier
clients across the Region

“We believe that our 40-year experience in the Region, including several negative credit cycles,
and our good understanding of the impacts and macroeconomic dynamics in every country, play
to our advantage. We are committed to continue to support our clients, for whom we have been
long-standing allies.”
-Jorge Salas, CEO
