<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><FONT STYLE="color: Black">Mr. Rubens
V. Amaral Jr., Bladex&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank&rsquo;s First Quarter 2013 results:
&ldquo;Bladex commenced 2013 with satisfactory results in what historically has been the slowest quarter of the year &ndash; First
Quarter 2012 results notwithstanding. The results for first quarter 2013 were driven by an expansion of the Commercial Portfolio
that reflects the Region&acute;s positive growth dynamics and Bladex&acute;s competitive edge. Thanks to its diversified economies
and fairly positive growth outlook, especially when compared to other regions of the world, Latin America is attracting flows
of capital from all parts of the globe, and experiencing an environment of ample liquidity in most of its markets. While this
certainly represents a challenge with regards to net margins and increased levels of competition, Bladex has proven its ability
to compete effectively, growing its core business without sacrificing margins and spreads. This is being achieved by managing
the portfolio mix, on both the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet, with high quality counterparties, and seeking higher
risk-adjusted returns, working both the short-term and the medium-term (one-to-five year) components of our tenor structure. This
very gradual shift is reflected in moderate, incremental generic reserve requirements, and an absence of non-performing assets.
The diversification of commission and fee income is also gaining pace, with Bladex making progress in establishing a track record
of successful syndications of various sizes every quarter, and steadily adding to its list of awarded mandates. Very importantly,
Bladex is making good on its commitment to containing, and even reducing its core expense base as the Bank pushes for increased
efficiency in the way it operates. With the successful conclusion of the sale of the Asset Management Unit, announced earlier
this month, Bladex is now able to focus its efforts on strengthening and growing its core business.&rdquo; Mr. Amaral concluded.</FONT></P>
