Notes to the consolidated financial statements
(Amounts expressed in thousands
of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)
Banco Latinoamericano
de Comercio Exterior, S. A. (“Bladex Head Office” and together with its subsidiaries “Bladex” or the “Bank”),
headquartered in Panama City, Republic of Panama, is a specialized multinational bank established to support the financing of foreign
trade and economic integration in Latin America and the Caribbean (the “Region”). The Bank was established pursuant
to a May 1975 proposal presented to the Assembly of Governors of Central Banks in the Region, which recommended the creation of
a multinational organization to increase the foreign trade financing capacity of the Region. The Bank was organized in 1977, incorporated
in 1978 as a corporation pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Panama, and initiated operations on January 2, 1979. Under a contract
law signed in 1978 between the Republic of Panama and Bladex, the Bank was granted certain privileges by the Republic of Panama,
including an exemption from payment of income taxes in Panama.
The Bank operates
under a general banking license issued by the National Banking Commission of Panama, predecessor of the Superintendence of Banks
of Panama (the “SBP”).
In the Republic
of Panama, banks are regulated by the SBP through Executive Decree No. 52 of April 30, 2008, which adopts the unique text of Law
Decree No. 9 of February 26, 1998, modified by Law Decree No. 2 of February 22, 2008. Banks are also regulated by resolutions and
agreements issued by this entity. The main aspects of this law and its regulations include: the authorization of banking licenses,
minimum capital and liquidity requirements, consolidated supervision, procedures for management of credit and market risks, measures
to prevent money laundering, the financing of terrorism and related illicit activities, and procedures for banking intervention
and liquidation, among others.

Summary of accounting policies

3.1
|
New accounting policies
|
Accounting policy applicable
from January 1, 2019:
Leases under IFRS 16
At inception of a contract,
the Bank assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Bank assesses whether:
|
-
|
The contract involves the use of an identified asset
–this may be specified explicitly or implicitly; and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the
capacity of a physically distinct asset.
|
|
-
|
The Bank has the right to obtain substantially all
of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
|
|
-
|
The Bank has the right to direct the use of the asset.
The Bank has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the
asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Bank has
the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
|
|
-
|
The Bank has the right to operate the asset; or
|
|
-
|
The Bank designed the asset in a way that predetermines
how and for what purpose it will be used.
|
This policy is applied to contracts
entered into, or changed, on or after January 1, 2019.
At inception or on reassessment
of a contract that contains lease component, the bank allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the
basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Bank has
elected not to separate non-lease components and to account for the lease components as a single lease component.

Summary of accounting policies (continued)
|
|
3.1
|
New accounting policies (continued)
|
Accounting policy applicable
until December 31, 2018:
Leases under NIC 17
The determination of whether
an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether
the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to
use the asset.
Banks as a lessee
Leases where
the lessor does not transfer to the Bank substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased items are
classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis
through the lease term. Rental payable is recognized as an expense as incurred.
Bank as a sub-lessor
Leases where
the Bank does not transfer substantially all of the risk and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases.
Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized
over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Rental income is recognized as revenue as earned. In the event that the
contract is cancelable, they are recognized as income over the term of the lease.
Changes in accounting policies
Except for the changes below,
the Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
The Bank applied IFRS 16 with
a date of initial application of 1 January 2019. As a result, the Bank has changed its accounting policy for lease contracts as
detailed below.
The Bank applied IFRS 16 using
the modified retrospective approach, under which the cumulative effect of initial application is recognized in retained earnings
at 1 January 2019. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed below.
Definition of a lease
Previously, the Bank determined
at contract inception whether an arrangement is or contains a lease under IFRIC 4. Under IFRS 16, the Bank assesses whether a contract
is or contains a lease based on the definition of a lease based on the definition of a lease, as explained in Note 3.1.
On transition to IFRS 16, the
Bank elected to apply the practical expedient to grandfather the assessment of which transactions are leases. It applied IFRS 16
only to contracts that were previously identified as leases. Contracts that were not identified as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC
4 were not reassessed for whether there is a lease. Therefore, the definition of a lease under IFRS 16 was applied only to contracts
entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.
As a lessee
As a lessee, the Bank previously
classified leases as operating or finance leases based on its assessment of whether the leases transferred significantly all of
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset to the Bank. Under IFRS 16, the Bank recognizes right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities for most leases. These leases are on the consolidated statement of financial position.

Summary of accounting policies (continued)

New accounting policies (continued)
|
Leases classified as operating
leases under IAS 17
At transition, lease liabilities
were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Bank´s internal funding cost rate as
at 1 January 2019.
The right-of-use assets are measured
at their book value as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the commencement date, discounted using total lease payments at present
value, using the Bank's internal funding cost rate, the weighted average term of the contract, adjusted for any prepayment, incremental
cost, dismantling cost and depreciation that would have been recognized from the beginning of the contract until the date of implementation
of the standard.
The Bank used the following practical
expedients when applying IFRS 16 to leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17:
|
-
|
Applied
for lease contracts with similar characteristics, the internal funding cost rate of the Bank, according to the average term of
stay.
|
|
-
|
Excluded
initial direct costs from measuring the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
|
|
-
|
Used
hindsight when determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
|
Impacts on financial statements
On transition to IFRS 16, the
Bank recognized and additional $17.1 million of right-of-use assets and $20.7 million of lease liabilities, recognizing the difference
in retained earnings. When measuring the lease liabilities, the Bank discounted the lease payments using its internal funding cost
rate at 1 January 2019. The weighted average rate applied is 4.81%.

Letters
of credit, stand-by letters of credit and guarantees
The Bank, on behalf of its client’s
base, issues, confirms and advises letters of credit to facilitate foreign trade transactions. When issuing, confirming
and advising letters of credit, the Bank adds its own unqualified assurance that the bank will pay upon presentation of complying
documents as per the terms and conditions established in the letter of credit. The Bank also issues, confirms and advises stand-by
letters of credit and guarantees, which are issued on behalf of institutional clients in connection with financing between its
clients and third parties. The Bank applies the same credit policies used in its lending process, and once the commitment
is issued, it becomes irrevocable and remains valid until its expiration upon the presentation of complying documents on or
before the expiry date.
Credit commitments
Commitments to extend credit
are binding legal agreements to lend to clients. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and require payment of a fee to the Bank. As some commitments expire without being drawn on, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Assessment of the sources
of ineffectiveness
As part of its hedging operations
and according to the type of hedge, the Bank is exposed to the following ineffectiveness factors:
|
·
|
Cash flow hedges:
Type of
hedge used to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange currency rates, as well of changes in interest rate risk that could
include volatility in the projected cash flows. The sources of ineffectiveness arise mainly because of the differences in discount
rates (OIS - Overnight Index Swap).
|
|
·
|
Fair value hedges:
Type
of hedge used to mitigate both interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The sources of ineffectiveness come mainly from forward
rates, discount rates and cross currency basis (cost of the operation).

|
Derivative financial instruments (continued)
|
For control purposes, derivative
instruments are recorded at their nominal amount in memoranda accounts. Interest rate swaps are made either in a single currency
or cross currency for a prescribed period to exchange a series of interest rate flows, which involve fixed for floating interest
payments, and vice versa. The Bank also engages in certain foreign exchange forward contracts to serve customers’ transaction
needs and to manage foreign currency risk. All such positions are hedged with an offsetting contract for the same currency.
The Bank manages and controls
the risks on these foreign exchange trades by establishing counterparty credit limits by customer and by adopting policies that
do not allow for open positions in the loan and investment portfolio. The Bank also uses foreign exchange forward contracts to
hedge the foreign exchange risk associated with the Bank’s equity investment in a non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign
entity. Derivative and foreign exchange forward instruments negotiated by the Bank are executed mainly over-the-counter (OTC).
These contracts are executed between two counterparties that negotiate specific agreement terms, including notional amount, exercise
price and maturity.
The maximum length of time over
which the Bank has hedged its exposure to the variability in future cash flows on forecasted transactions is 4.94 years .
The Bank recognized the lifetime
associated cost of the foreign exchange forward contracts into interest income, in profit or loss, as an adjustment to the yield
on hedged items creating an accumulated reserve in OCI, reclassified to profit or loss at their maturity. The Bank estimates that
approximately $107 thousand are expected to be reclassified into profit or loss during the twelve-month year ending
March
31
, 2020.
The Bank recognized the lifetime
associated cost of the foreign exchange forward contracts into interest expense, in profit or loss, as an adjustment to the yield
on hedge items creating an accumulated reserve in OCI, reclassified to profit or loss at their maturity. The Bank estimates that
approximately $3,768 million are expected to be reclassified into profit or loss during the twelve-month year ending
March
31
, 2020.
Types of Derivatives and
Foreign Exchange Instruments
Interest rate swaps are contracts
in which a series of interest rate flows in a single currency are exchanged over a prescribed period. The Bank has designated a
portion of these derivative instruments as fair value hedges and another portion as cash flow hedges. Cross currency swaps are
contracts that generally involve the exchange of both interest and principal amounts in two different currencies. The Bank has
designated a portion of these derivative instruments as fair value hedges and another portion as cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange
forward contracts represent an agreement to purchase or sell foreign currency at a future date at agreed-upon terms. The Bank has
designated these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges and net investment hedges.
Offsetting
of financial assets and liabilities
In the ordinary course of business,
the Bank enters into derivative financial instrument transactions and securities sold under repurchase agreements under industry
standards agreements. Depending on the collateral requirements stated in the contracts, the Bank and counterparties can receive
or deliver collateral based on the fair value of the financial instruments transacted between parties. Collateral typically consists
of pledged cash deposits and securities. The master netting agreements include clauses that, in the event of default, provide for
close-out netting, which allows all positions with the defaulting counterparty to be terminated and net settled with a single payment
amount.
The International Swaps and
Derivatives Association master agreement (“ISDA”) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria
for offsetting in the consolidated statement of financial position. This is because they create for the parties to the agreement
a right of set-off of recognized amounts that is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Bank or the counterparties or following other predetermined events.

Business segment information
|
The Bank’s activities
are managed and executed in two business segments: Commercial and Treasury. The business segment results are determined based on
the Bank’s managerial accounting process as defined by IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, which assigns assets, liabilities,
revenue and expense items to each business segment on a systematic basis. The maximum decision-making operating authority of the
Bank is represented by the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Committee, which review the internal management reports for
each division at least every six months. Segment profit, as included in the internal management reports is used to measure performance
as management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative
to other entities that operate within the same industry.
The Bank’s net interest
income represents the main driver of profits; therefore, the Bank presents its interest-earning assets by business segment, to
give an indication of the size of business generating net interest income. Interest-earning assets also generate gains and losses
on sales, mainly from financial instruments at fair value through OCI and financial instruments at fair value through profit or
loss, which are included in net other income, in the Treasury Segment. The Bank also discloses its other assets and contingencies
by business segment, to give an indication of the size of business that generates net fees and commissions, also included in net
other income, in the Commercial Business Segment.
The Commercial Business Segment
encompasses the Bank’s core business of financial intermediation and fee generation activities catering to corporations,
financial institutions and investors in Latin America. These activities include the origination of bilateral short-term and
medium-term loans, structured and syndicated credits, loan commitments, and financial guarantee contracts such as issued and confirmed
letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit, guarantees covering commercial risk, and other assets consisting of customers’
liabilities under acceptances.
Profits from the Commercial
Business Segment include (i) net interest income from loans; (ii) fees and commissions from the issuance, confirmation and negotiation
of letters of credit, guarantees and loan commitments, and through loan structuring and syndication activities; (iii) gain on sale
of loans generated through loan intermediation activities, such as sales in the secondary market and distribution in the primary
market; (iv) impairment loss on financial instruments; and (v) direct and allocated operating expenses.
The Treasury Business Segment
focuses on managing the Bank’s investment portfolio, and the overall structure of its assets and liabilities to achieve more
efficient funding and liquidity positions for the Bank, mitigating the traditional financial risks associated with the balance
sheet, such as interest rate, liquidity, price and currency risks. Interest-earning assets managed by the Treasury Business Segment
include liquidity positions in cash and cash equivalents, and financial instruments related to the investment management activities,
consisting of securities at FVOCI and securities at amortized cost. The Treasury Business Segment also manages the Bank’s
interest-bearing liabilities, which constitute its funding sources, mainly deposits, short- and long-term borrowings and debt.
Profits from the Treasury Business
Segment include net interest income derived from the above mentioned treasury assets and liabilities, and related net other income
(net results from derivative financial instruments and foreign currency exchange, gain (loss) per financial instruments at FVTPL,
gain (loss) on sale of securities at FVOCI, and other income), recovery or impairment loss on financial instruments, and direct
and allocated operating expenses.

Fair value of financial instruments
|
The Bank determines the fair
value of its financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy established in IFRS 13 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure,
which requires the Bank to maximize the use of observable inputs (those that reflect the assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market information obtained from sources independent of the reporting
entity) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the
inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in
the circumstances) when measuring fair value. Fair value is used on a recurring basis to measure assets and liabilities in which
fair value is the primary basis of accounting. Additionally, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to assess assets and liabilities
for impairment or for disclosure purposes. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of
the asset or liability, the Bank uses some valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value. The Bank applied the
following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Assets or liabilities
for which an identical instrument is traded in an active market, such as publicly-traded instruments or futures contracts.
Level 2 – Assets or liabilities
valued based on observable market data for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other observable
inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Assets or liabilities
for which significant valuation inputs are not readily observable in the market; instruments measured based on the best available
information, which might include some internally-developed data, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.
When determining the fair value
measurements for assets and liabilities that are required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Bank considers the principal
or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers the inputs that market participants would use when pricing
the asset or liability. When possible, the Bank uses active markets and observable prices to value identical assets or liabilities.
When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Bank uses observable market information for similar
assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets and the Bank must
use alternative valuation techniques to determine the fair value measurement. The frequency of transactions, the size of the bid-ask
spread and the size of the investment are factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed
prices in those markets.
When there has been a significant
decrease in the valuation of the financial asset or liability, or in the level of activity for a financial asset or liability,
the Bank uses the present value technique which considers market information to determine a representative fair value in usual
market conditions.
Recurring valuation
:
A description of the valuation
methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including the general classification
of such assets and liabilities under the fair value hierarchy is presented below:
Financial instruments at
FVTPL and FVOCI
Financial instruments at FVTPL
are carried at fair value, which is based upon quoted prices when available, or if quoted market prices are not available, on discounted
expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the security.
Financial instruments at FVOCI
are carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices when available, or if quoted market prices are not available, based on
discounted expected cash flows using market rates commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the security.

Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
|
Financial instruments at
FVTPL and FVOCI (continued)
When quoted prices are available
in an active market, financial instruments at FVOCI and financial instruments at FVTPL are classified in level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available or they are available in markets that are not active, then fair values are
estimated based upon quoted prices for similar instruments, or where these are not available, by using internal valuation techniques,
principally discounted cash flows models. Such securities are classified within levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments
The valuation techniques and
inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. Exchange-traded derivatives that are valued
using quoted prices are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
For those derivative contracts
without quoted market prices, fair value is based on internal valuation techniques using inputs that are readily observable and
that can be validated by information available in the market. The principal technique used to value these instruments is the discounted
cash flows model and the key inputs considered in this technique include interest rate yield curves and foreign exchange rates.
These derivatives are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value adjustments applied
by the Bank to its derivative carrying values include credit valuation adjustments (“CVA”), which are applied to OTC
derivative instruments, in which the base valuation generally discounts expected cash flows using the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”)
interest rate curves. Because not all counterparties have the same credit risk as that implied by the relevant OIS curve, a CVA
is necessary to incorporate the market view of both, counterparty credit risk and the Bank’s own credit risk, in the valuation.
Own-credit and counterparty
CVA is determined using a fair value curve consistent with the Bank’s or counterparty credit rating. The CVA is designed
to incorporate a market view of the credit risk inherent in the derivative portfolio. However, most of the Bank’s derivative
instruments are negotiated bilateral contracts and are not commonly transferred to third parties. Derivative instruments are normally
settled contractually, or if terminated early, are terminated at a value negotiated bilaterally between the counterparties. Therefore,
the CVA (both counterparty and own-credit) may not be realized upon a settlement or termination in the normal course of business.
In addition, all or a portion of the CVA may be reversed or otherwise adjusted in future periods in the event of changes in the
credit risk of the Bank or its counterparties or due to the anticipated termination of the transactions.

At December 31, 2018, investment securities and equity
instrument at FVOCI for $21.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively; were reclassified from level 1 to level 2 of the fair value
hierarchy due to changes in market conditions causing that the quoted prices were no longer active for these financial instruments.
|
Fair value calculations are
only provided for a limited portion of the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities. Due to a wide range of valuation techniques
and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparison of fair value information of the Bank and other companies
may not be meaningful for comparative analysis.
Non-recurring valuation
:
The following methods and inputs
were used by the Bank’s management in estimating the fair values of financial instruments whose fair value is not measured
on a recurring basis:
Financial instruments with
carrying value that approximates fair value
The carrying value of certain
financial assets, including cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, customers’ liabilities under acceptances,
interest receivable and certain financial liabilities including customer’s demand and time deposits, securities sold under
repurchase agreements, interest payable, and acceptances outstanding, due to their short-term nature, is considered to approximate
their fair value. These instruments are classified in Level 2.

|
18.
|
Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
|
Non-recurring basic (continued)
Securities at amortized cost
The fair value has been estimated
upon current market quotations, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value has been estimated based
upon quoted prices of similar instruments, or where these are not available, on discounted expected cash flows using market rates
commensurate with the credit quality and maturity of the security. These securities are classified in Levels 1 and 2.
Loans
The fair value of the loan portfolio,
including impaired loans, is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which loans would be made to
borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, considering the contractual terms in effect as of
December 31 of the relevant year. These assets are classified in Levels 2 and 3.
Transfer of financial assets
Gains or losses on sale of loans
depend in part on the carrying amount of the financial assets involved in the transfer, and their fair value at the date of transfer.
The fair value of these instruments is determined based upon quoted market prices when available or is based on the present value
of future expected cash flows using information related to credit losses, prepayment speeds, forward yield curves, and discounted
rates commensurate with the risk involved.
Short and long-term borrowings
and debt
The fair value of short and
long-term borrowings and debt is estimated using discounted future cash flows based on the current incremental borrowing rates
for similar types of borrowing arrangements, considering the changes in the Bank’s credit margin. These liabilities are classified
in Level 2.
Valuation framework
The Bank has an established
control framework for the measurement of fair values, which is independent of front office management, verifying the valuation
results of the derivative financial instruments, securities and other financial instrument significantly measured. Specific controls
include:
|
-
|
Verification of observable pricing
|
|
-
|
Verification of re – performance of model valuations
|
|
-
|
A review and approval process for new models and changes
to existing models
|
|
-
|
Annual calibration and back testing of models against observed
market transactions
|
|
-
|
Analysis and evaluation of the significant valuation movements
|
|
-
|
Review of the significant unobservable inputs, valuation
adjustments and changes to the fair value measurement of Level 3 instruments.

Significant unobservable inputs were developed
as follows:
a). The discount rate was derived from
the discount rate of a similar company in the same line of business. For the discount rate, the debt-equity structure for the Issuer
of the securities was applied.
b) The premium or liquidity rate was derived
from liquidity cost studies carried out by experts and then subsequently from knowledge of management of similar businesses.
Effect of unobservable inputs in fair
value measurement
Although management considers that its
estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions can generate different Level 3 fair
values for measurements . Changing one or more assumptions used can generate the following effect:

Applicable laws and regulations

Liquidity index
The Rule No. 2-2018 issued by
the Superintendence of Banks of Panama (SBP) establishes that every general license or international license bank must guarantee,
with a higher level of confidence, that it is in the position to face its intraday liquidity obligations in a period when liquidity
pressure may affect the lending market. For that purpose, the Superintendence of Banks of Panama has established a short-term liquidity
coverage ratio known as “Liquidy Coverage Ratio or LCR”. This ratio is measured through the quotient of two amounts,
the first one corresponds to the high-quality liquid assets and the second one corresponds to the net cash outflows in 30 days.
As of March 31, 2019 and December
31, 2018, the minimum LCR to be reported to the SBP was 25% for both periods. The Bank´s LCR as of March 31, 2019 an d December
31, 2018 was 141% and 238%, respectively.
The Rule No. 4-2008 issued by
the Superintendence of Banks of Panama (SBP) establishes that every general license or international license bank must maintain,
always, a minimum balance of liquid assets equivalent to 30% of the gross total of its deposits in the Republic of Panama or overseas
up to 186 days, counted from the reporting date. The formula is based on the following parameters:
Liquid
assets
|
x 100 = X% (Liquidity ratio)
|
|
Liabilities (Deposits
Received)
|
As of March 31, 2019, and December
31, 2018, the percentage of the liquidity index reported by the Bank to the regulator was 90.11% and 124.39%, respectively.
Capital adequacy
The Banking Law in the Republic
of Panama and the Rules No. 01-2015 and 03-2016 require that the general license banks maintain a total capital adequacy index
that shall not be lower, at any time, than 8% of total assets and off-balance sheet irrevocable contingency transactions, weighted
according to their risks; and ordinary primary capital that shall not be less than 4.5% of its assets and off-balance sheet transactions
that represent an irrevocable contingency, weighted based on their risks; and a primary capital that shall not be less than 6%
of its assets and off-balance sheet transactions that represent an irrevocable contingency, weighted based on their risks.
The primary objectives of the
Bank’s capital management policy are to ensure that the Bank complies with capital requirements imposed by local regulator
and maintains strong credit ratings and healthy capital ratios to support its business and to maximize shareholder value.

Applicable laws and regulations (continued)
|
The Bank manages its capital
structure and adjusts it according to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of its activities. To maintain
or adjust the capital structure, the Bank may adjust the amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital to shareholders
or issue capital securities. No changes have been made to the objectives, policies and processes from the previous years. However,
they are under constant review by the Board.

Leverage ratio
Article 17 of the Rule No. 1-2015
establishes the leverage ratio of a regulated entity by means of the quotient between the ordinary primary capital and the total
exposure for non-risk-weighted assets inside and outside the statement of financial position established by the Superintendence
of Banks of Panama (SBP). For the determination of the exposure of off-balance-sheet operations, the criteria established for credit
and counterparty credit risk positions will be used. The exposure of the derivatives will be the fair value at which it is recorded
in the entity's assets.
The leverage ratio cannot be
lower, at any time, than 3%. The Bank will inform to SBP as often as the compliance with the leverage ratio is determined.

Specific credit provisions
Rule No. 4-2013, modified by
Rule No. 8-2014, states that the specific provisions are originated from the objective and concrete evidence of impairment. These
provisions must be established for credit facilities classified according to the risk categories denominated as: special mention,
substandard, doubtful, or unrecoverable, both for individual credit facilities as for a group of such facilities. In the case of
a group, it corresponds to circumstances that indicate the existence of deterioration in credit quality, although individual identification
is still not possible.
Banks must calculate and maintain
at all times the amount of the specific provisions determined by the methodology specified in this Rule, which takes into account
the balance owed of each credit facility classified in any of the categories subject to provision, mentioned in the paragraph above;
the present value of each guarantee available in order to mitigate risk, as established by type of collateral; and a weighting
table that applies to the net exposure balance subject to loss of such credit facilities.
Article 35 of this Rule establishes
that all credits must be classified in the following five (5) categories, according to their default risk and loan conditions,
and establishes a minimum reserve for each classification: normal 0%, special mention 2%, substandard 15%, doubtful 50%, and unrecoverable
100%.

Specific credit provisions
(continued)
If there is an excess in the
specific provision, calculated in accordance with this Rule, compared to the provision calculated in accordance with IFRS, this
excess will be accounted for as a regulatory credit reserve in equity and will increase or decrease with appropriations from/to
retained earnings. The balance of the regulatory credit reserve will not be considered as capital funds for calculating certain
ratios or prudential indicators mentioned in the Rule.
Based on the classification
of risks, collateral and in compliance with SBP Rule No. 4-2013, the Bank classified the loan portfolio as follows:

Credit risk coverage - dynamic provision
The Superintendence of Banks of Panama by means of
Rule No. 4-2013, establishes the compulsory constitution of a dynamic provision in addition to the specific credit provision as
part of the total provisions for the credit risk coverage.
The dynamic provision is an equity item associated
to the regulatory capital, but does not replace or offset the capital adequacy requirements established by the Superintendence
of Banks of Panama.
Methodology for the constitution of the regulatory
credit reserve
The Superintendence of Banks
of Panama by means of the General Resolution of Board of Directors SBP-GJD-0003-2013 of July 9, 2013, establishes the accounting
methodology for differences that arise between the application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the
application of prudential regulations issued by the SBP; as well as the additional disclosures required to be included in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
The parameters established in this methodology are
the following:
|
1.
|
The calculations of accounting balances in accordance
with IFRS and the prudential standards issued by the Superintendence of Banks of Panama will be carried out and the respective
figures will be compared.
|
|
2.
|
When the calculation made in accordance with IFRS
results in a greater reserve or provision for the bank compared to the one resulting from the use of the prudential standards
issued by the SBP, the Bank will account the IFRS figures.

(continued)
|
3.
|
When the impact of the use of prudential standards
results in a greater reserve or provision for the Bank, the effect of the application of IFRS will be recognized in profit or
loss, and the difference between IFRS calculation compared to the prudential standards calculation will be appropriated from retained
earnings as a regulatory credit reserve. If the bank does not have sufficient retained earnings, the difference will be presented
as an accumulated deficit account.
|
|
4.
|
The regulatory credit reserve mentioned in paragraph
3 of this Rule may not be reversed against the retained earnings as long as there are differences between IFRS and the originated
prudential regulations.
|
Considering that the Bank presents
its consolidated financial statements under IFRS, specifically for its expected credit reserves under IFRS 9, the line "Regulatory
credit reserve" established by the Superintendence of Banks of Panama has been used to present the difference between the
application of the accounting standard used and the prudential regulations of the Superintendence of Banks of Panama to comply
with the requirements of Rule No. 4-2013.
As of March 31, 2019 and December
31, 2018, the total amount of the dynamic provision and the regulatory credit reserve calculated according to the guidelines of
Rule No. 4-2013 of the Superintendence of Banks of Panama is
$136.0 million for both periods
,
appropriated from retained earnings for purposes of compliance with local regulatory requirements. This appropriation is restricted
from dividend distribution in order to comply with local regulations. The provision and reserve are detailed as follows:

Capital reserve
In addition to capital reserves
required by regulations, the Bank maintains a capital reserve of $95.2 million, which was voluntarily established. Pursuant to
Article No. 69 of the Banking Law, reduction of capital reserves requires prior approval of SBP.

cash dividend of $0.385 US dollar cents per share corresponding to the first quarter of 2019. The cash dividend was approved by
the Board of Directors at its meeting held on April 17, 2019 and it is payable on May 15, 2019 to the Bank’s stockholders
as of April 29, 2019 record date.
