1.Corporate information

    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, liquidity 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.

BLX Soluciones is 99.9% owned by Bladex Head Office, and Bladex Development Corp. owns the remaining 0.1%. The company specializes in offering financial leasing and other financial products such as loans and factoring.

    Bladex Head Office has an agency in New York City, USA (the “New York Agency”), which began operations on March 27, 1989. The New York Agency is principally engaged in financing transactions related to international trade, mostly the confirmation and financing of letters of credit for customers in the Region. The New York Agency also has authorization to book transactions through an International Banking Facility (“IBF”).

Following is an analysis of the Bank’s sensitivity to the most likely increase or decrease in market interest rates at the reporting date, assuming no asymmetrical movements in yield curves and a constant financial position:    
Change in
interest rate
Effect on
profit or loss
Effect on
equity
June 30, 2022+50 bps3,069 925 
-50 bps(3,804)1,196 
December 31, 2021+50 bps(45)17,232 
-50 bps(2,297)10,772 

Interest rate movements affect reported equity in the following ways:

Retained earnings: increases or decreases in net interest income and in fair values of derivatives reported in profit or loss;
Fair value reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of financial assets at FVOCI reported directly in equity; and
Hedging reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of hedging instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.

This sensitivity provides an analyses of changes in interest rates, considering last period interest rate volatility.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss - Level 3

For financial instruments measured at fair value in level 3 category, the Bank uses the following inputs for present value techniques.

Inputs used in the fair value measurement are detailed as follows:

Observable inputsUnobservable inputs
Forward interest rate referenced to 12M USD Libor
Discount rate or discount margin of floating rate bond "USD US composite B+" with credit risk similar to the instrument analyzed adjusted by the country risk premium.

Fair value measurement sensitivity to unobservable inputs – discount rate20222021
A significant increase in volatility would result in a lower fair value
7.26% to 12.15%
6.86% to 7.84%

Management used market data published in Bloomberg for the construction of the discount curve, which allows for a more accurate measurement of the instrument.

The effect on unobservable inputs

Although the Bank believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different fair value measurements. For fair value measurements in level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions used would have the following effects.
