Financial Business Model targets sustainable,

• The Financial Business Model is based on our proven origination capacity of well-diversified Latin American risk. With an adequate risk-

return profile, together with solid operational efficiency and capitalization, the Bank aims to deliver stable, consistent returns through

economic cycles, commensurate with its cost of capital in its Core Financial Intermediation activities. The Bank aims to increase its return

target well above the Bank‟s cost of capital by enhancing revenue steams from its asset distribution and trade finance services activities.

Margin expansion helped by

• Swift re-pricing of short-dated commercial book in response to changes

in competitive landscape - diminished risk appetite, more selective

liquidity, lesser debt capital market activity leading to higher credit

spreads in most markets

• Steady rise of underlying base rates (LIBOR)

• Well-calibrated funding mix, with judicious use of wide array of funding

sources limiting re-pricing of funding book to base rate effects
