Bladex Reaches 100 Syndicated Loans
Bladex has reached the milestone of 100 syndicated loans in Latin America, mobilizing more than US$18.0 billion across 17 countries with the participation of over 130 banks, to finance strategic projects in energy, infrastructure, agribusiness, and other key sectors reinforcing its role as a bridge between global financial markets and regional development.
Bladex (NYSE: BLX) announced that it has reached the milestone of 100 co-led syndicated loans in Latin America, reaffirming its position as a regional bank specialized in structured finance and as a strategic bridge between global financial markets and the region’s economic development.
Through these transactions, Bladex has mobilized more than US$18.0 billion in 17 countries, channeling resources toward productive projects, critical infrastructure, and strategic sectors that drive growth, job creation, and regional competitiveness. This journey reflects years of consistent execution, market trust, and a strategy focused on supporting Latin America’s progress through high value-added financial solutions.
“Reaching 100 syndicated loans is not just a number; it is evidence of the trust that clients and investors have placed in Bladex over decades,” said Felipe Suárez, Senior Vice President of Structuring and Syndicated Loans at Bladex. “Each transaction represents infrastructure that transforms countries, projects that strengthen energy security, and real opportunities for companies across Latin America. Our role is to connect the region’s talent and needs with international capital, with agility, technical rigor, and deep local expertise.”
The syndicated loans structured by Bladex have supported more than 20 economic sectors, including energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, telecommunications, transportation, agribusiness, financial services, industry, and distribution. These transactions have involved more than 130 banks from Latin America, the United States, Europe, and Asia, forming a global financial network that connects local projects with the world’s leading capital markets.
The institution maintains a strong capital position to continue expanding its syndicated finance activity. The recent issuance of US$200 million in Tier 1 (AT1) notes, oversubscribed by more than three times by global investors, increased its capital adequacy ratio to 15.8% and its Basel III Tier 1 ratio to 18.1%, strengthening its capacity to seize strategic opportunities in the coming years. Bladex also maintains a high-quality credit profile, with 97% of its exposure classified as Stage 1 and delinquency levels close to 0.2%, reflecting its strict risk discipline.
The Bank will present its strategic vision toward 2030 at its upcoming Investor Day on March 24, 2026, where it will share its roadmap to continue supporting Latin America’s growth.
For Bladex, reaching 100 syndicated loans represents far more than a numerical milestone. It represents progress, well-being, infrastructure that transforms countries, and projects that strengthen energy security and regional connectivity. Behind each figure lies teamwork, trust, and a genuine commitment to development. With this milestone, the Bank reaffirms its mission to act as a catalyst for Latin America’s growth—offering agile structures, tailored solutions, and access to international financial markets to support its clients in the challenges ahead.
