On April 17th, Bladex held its Annual Shareholders' Meeting in Panama City, during a record-breaking year for the Bank.

We want to thank our shareholders for their continued support to our Board of Directors and management, which motivates us to continue with the execution of our Strategic Plan.

We celebrate a year of unprecedented success for the Bank, with a record profit of US$166.2 million in 2023, an 81% increase from the previous year. Our loan portfolio grew by 9% compared to 2022, and the commercial portfolio increased by 30% since the plan's execution began.

"2023 was an exceptional year for Bladex which highlights the success of our long-term strategy and our commitment to sustainable growth." - Miguel Heras, Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Our mission to support foreign trade in Latin America, on which we embarked 45 years ago, has never been more relevant. Our indicators clearly show that we are moving in the right direction, together with our shareholders, employees, and clients.
