2. 2
This presentation contains forward-looking statements of expected future developments within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this presentation include the growth of the credit
portfolio, including the trade portfolio, the increase in the number of the Bank’s corporate clients, the trend of lending spreads,
changes in activities engaged in by the Bank that are derived from the Bank’s client base, anticipated operating results and
return on equity in future periods, including income derived from the Treasury Business Segment, and changes in the financial
and performance strength of the Bank. 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 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. 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.
3. Global context: A significant deceleration in Europe and China
continue to make the US dollar attractive, leading to lower fund
flows to emerging markets in general, and Latin America in
particular.
Regional context: A more challenging political and economic
environment for some key countries in Latin America, and the
prospect of declining trade volumes and other impacts from trade
tension continuing offers no room for complacency.
Bladex 1Q19: Stable revenues and lower expenses in a seasonally
slow quarter, with higher profitability and a solid credit portfolio.
