BLADEX REPORTS FULL YEAR NET INCOME OF $55.1 MILLION; $1.51 PER SHARE.

ACCOUNTING CLASSIFICATION OF CERTAIN SECURITIES FINANCING (REPOS)

AS SALES RESULTS IN FOURTH QUARTER LOSS OF $4.3 MILLION;

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT DOES NOT DECREASE CAPITAL, NOR IMPACT

CASH FLOW, LIQUIDITY, OR ASSET QUALITY.

PANAMA CITY, February 13, 2009 – Banco Latinoamericano de Exportaciones (NYSE: BLX, “Bladex” or “the Bank”) today reported net income of $55.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $1.51 for the year ended December 31, 2008. These results include the impact of classifying certain securities financings (repos) as outright sales. The Bank reported diluted earnings per share of $1.98 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Excluding the impact of the sales-accounting treatment, required by the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 140, as well as the positive impact of (“FASB”) Statement No. 157 during a particularly volatile fourth quarter, the Bank’s net income for 2008 would have been $67.8 million, or $1.86 per share, and its fourth quarter income would have amounted to $8.4 million, or $0.23 per share. See “Non-GAAP Disclosures and Reconciliation” in Exhibit XIII for the reconciliation between the Bank’s non-GAAP and GAAP reported income.

The Bank has regularly entered into repo arrangements as part of its financing activities. Accounting for the repo transactions as sales did not decrease net stockholders’ equity, and had no impact on the Bank’s cash flow, liquidity, or asset quality. Based on the structure of its new repos, the Bank does not expect the need for any further sales-accounting treatments in the future.

Annual Business Highlights

· Commercial Division’s net operating income (1) for 2008 was $58.3 million, the highest in the last five years, representing an increase of 37% compared to 2007, mainly due to increased average loan balances during the first three quarters of the year, as well as increased lending margins.

· Asset Management Division’s net operating income for 2008 was $12.3 million compared to $18.5 million in 2007, representing a return of 12.2% on assets under management.

· Liquidity (2) as of December 31, 2008 was $826 million, compared to $396 million as of December 31, 2007.

· The Bank’s Tier 1 capital ratio as of December 31, 2008 was 20.4%, compared to 20.9% as of December 31, 2007. The Bank’s leverage on these dates was 7.6x and 7.7x, respectively. The Bank’s equity consists entirely of common shares.

· As of December 31, 2008, the Bank reported zero past due credits in its portfolio, as has been the case since 2006. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to the commercial portfolio was 2.8%, compared to 2.0% in September 30, 2008, and to 1.9% as of December 31, 2007.

· After three quarters of growth, the Bank reduced its credit portfolio by $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter, as it built liquidity, collected vulnerable exposures, and/or concentrations, and preserved its strong capitalization in response to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions.

· Treasury Division reported a net operating loss of $16.3 million in 2008, compared to net income of $10.0 million in 2007. The 2008 results were driven by the accounting treatment related to certain securities-based financing transactions (repos), which were recorded as sales. The Bank has routinely entered into repo transactions as part of its normal business operations, accounting for the repos as financing transactions. However, a particularly tight interbank market caused the Bank to contract some repos under new terms that resulted in the Bank receiving less cash for the value of the underlying securities (“repo haircuts” or “haircuts”) than it had under normal market conditions. Based on the application of FASB Statement No. 140 and related guidance, the Bank determined that the repo transactions contracted under the new terms should be treated as sales of the underlying securities, rather than as financings (borrowings).

While the Bank fully expects to unwind the repo transactions at maturity and repurchase the underlying securities in March, 2009, the sales-accounting treatment of the repo transactions involved, resulted in a $25.0 million non-cash charge to earnings.

Given that the Bank accounted for changes in the fair value of both the securities portfolio and the corresponding Interest Rate Swap hedges through unrealized gains and losses in the Other Comprehensive Income account (“OCI”), the charge to earnings had no detrimental impact on the Bank’s USGAAP capital. Furthermore, the non-cash nature of the accounting treatment signifies that liquidity was unaffected. Finally, with the underlying securities current as to interest and principal, the Bank’s asset quality also remained unaffected. The Bank may reverse part or all of the accounting-related charge in future reporting periods if it sells the securities at a gain, or through the maturity of the instruments.

The Bank has changed the structure of its securities financing (repos) to avoid the need for sale treatment in the future.

CEO's Comments

Mr. Jaime Rivera, Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the Bank's results, “Working within a challenging financial environment, Bladex achieved solid results for the year, and maintained the Bank’s strong fundamentals. While Bladex’s performance during the first nine months of the year was strong, a deteriorating economic environment during the fourth quarter compelled us to respond decisively. We took action by collecting on loans to vulnerable sectors and building record levels of liquidity in anticipation of a year-end crunch that thankfully did not materialize.

As part of Bladex’s efforts to strengthen liquidity, the Bank extended the tenor of its repo financings. Given the extraordinarily tight market liquidity conditions that prevailed during the period, the extended tenors implied discounts from fair market value (“repo haircuts”) that required some of these transactions to be accounted as outright sales. The resulting charge did not decrease the Bank’s capital and had no impact on the Bank’s liquidity, cash flow, asset quality, or any of the fundamentals underpinning the strength of our Company.

Going forward in 2009, despite a global economy undergoing significant stress, Bladex continues to generate solid business opportunities. The Bank is leveraging its position as the premier provider of trade finance services within a less competitive environment, continuing to widen intermediation margins. In addition, Bladex’s Asset Management Division is boosting the Bank’s profitability through its consistent ability to generate positive results under a variety of market conditions.

The Bank is aware of the limitations imposed on growth by the tight liquidity conditions in the interbank markets and of the strains imposed on the portfolio by a global economic crisis that does not appear to have reached bottom yet, and that is likely to persist for some time. Until this challenging environment begins to improve, we will continue to manage the Bank being especially mindful of the need to carefully balance risks and opportunities to best protect the interests of our shareholders and the value of Bladex’s franchise. "

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Commercial Division incorporates the Bank’s financial intermediation and fee generation activities. Net operating income includes net interest income from loans, fee income, and net allocated operating expenses.

Net operating income for 2008 amounted to $58.3 million, compared to $42.7 million in 2007. The $15.6 million, or 37%, increase during the year was primarily due to increasing average loan balances ($352 million, or 10%) during the first three quarters, as well as to increasing lending margins. Weighted average lending spreads (5) increased 57 bps, or 56%, during the year. Weighted average lending spreads on new disbursements during 2008 increased 106 bps to 1.94%.

Net operating income for the fourth quarter 2008 reached $13.8 million, representing a decrease of 17% compared to the third quarter 2008, and an increase of 22% from the fourth quarter 2007, on lower end of period earning assets of $2,614 million.

Weighted average lending spreads on new disbursements during the quarter were 3.53%, a 147 bps, or 71%, increase with respect to the previous quarter. Although weighted average lending spreads (5) increased by 16 bps (9%). during the quarter, this alone was not sufficient to offset the impact of the smaller portfolio resulting from the Bank’s pre-emptive collection efforts.

The following graph illustrates the trend in quarterly lending spreads:

4

The average commercial portfolio increased 6% during the year, including the impact of a decrease of 21% during the fourth quarter, during which the Bank slowed its lending activities in line with an adverse economic environment, collecting maturities in vulnerable sectors, building liquidity balances, and responding to tighter funding sources. In line with this strategy, credit disbursements during the fourth quarter decreased to $685 million, 55% lower than in the previous quarter. (Please refer to Exhibit XII for the Bank’s distribution of credit disbursements by country.)

5

The commercial portfolio includes loans, letters of credit, country risk guarantees and loan commitments pertaining to the Bank’s traditional intermediation activities. See Exhibit X for information related to the Bank’s commercial portfolio distribution by country.

The commercial portfolio continues to be short-term and trade-related in nature, with 65%, or $2,002 million, maturing on or before December 31, 2009. Trade financing operations represent 66% of the commercial portfolio.

As of December 31, 2008, the Bank had zero credits in non-accruing or past-due status.

6

The Treasury Division incorporates the Bank’s liquidity management and investment securities activities. Net operating income is presented net of allocated operating expenses, and includes net interest income on treasuries activities and net other income (expense) related to treasury activities (12) .

The Division’s main focus during the fourth quarter was strengthening the Bank’s liquidity. As a result, December 31, 2008 liquidity balances reached $826 million, compared to $396 million a year earlier.

In the aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Bladex executed 10 repos for which it received $138 million in financing. The transactions are all scheduled to mature in the second half of March, 2009.

According to FASB Statement No. 140 and related guidance, the larger haircuts applied to the repos as a result of market conditions, implied that the Bank had to recognize them as outright securities sales, rather than as secured borrowings (financing), as it had done previously. This accounting treatment led to a non-cash charge to earnings of $25.0 million. In the stockholders equity accounts, the charge to earnings was offset by a reduction in the OCI, where the mark-to-market impact of the securities portfolio is recorded.

Treasury Division's reported net operating loss for 2008 was $16.3 million, compared to net operating income of $10.0 million in 2007. The results were driven mainly by the $25.0 million accounting treatment described in the previous two paragraphs, partially offset by a $12.2 million gain related to the application of FASB Statement No. 157 to the Bank’s local funding cross currency swaps during a particularly volatile fourth quarter. The Division’s $19.6 million net operating loss for the fourth quarter was mainly driven by the same factors.

The year-end portfolio of securities available for sale totaled $608 million, representing a decrease of 21% from September 30, 2008, and an increase of 30% from December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2008, the securities portfolio represented 17% of the Bank’s total credit portfolio, and consisted mostly of Latin American securities, 82% of which were sovereign and state owned risk in nature (please refer to Exhibit XI for a per country distribution of the investment securities in the available for sale portfolio).

7

In the available for sale portfolio, and in order to hedge the instruments’ interest rate risk, the Bank enters into interest rate swap agreements to convert the securities from fixed to floating rate instruments. The available for sale portfolio is marked to market, with the impact recorded in stockholders’ equity through the OCI which, for the fourth quarter 2008, recorded a $28 million decrease, mostly reflecting the diminished market valuation of the securities portfolio. For the full year 2008, the OCI impact on stockholders’ equity was a reduction of $62 million (Please refer to Exhibit I and notes 9 and 10.)

As of December 31, 2008, deposit balances totaled $1,169 million, $382 million (25%) lower than September 30, 2008, and $293 million (20%) lower than the fourth quarter 2007. The reduction was mainly due to liquidity needs of depositors in the face of diminished international capital markets flows. By January 31, 2009, balances had stabilized, totaling $1,194 million.

The Asset Management Division incorporates the Bank’s asset management activities. The Division’s Investment Fund follows a Latin America macro strategy, utilizing a combination of products (Foreign Exchange, Equity Indices, Interest Rate Swaps, and Credit Derivative Products) to establish long and short positions in Latin America markets. The Fund was ranked #1 by Eurekahedge among hedge funds with over $50 million in assets under management. As of December 31, 2008, Bladex owned 96.89% of the Fund.

Capital preservation is one of the Fund’s driving objectives, with trading strategy emphasizing high liquidity, moderate volatility, and lower leverage. As of December 31, 2008, 98.5% of the fund’s net assets were temporarily invested in cash.

The Division’s Net Operating Income is presented net of allocated operating expenses, and includes net interest income on investment fund, as well as net gains (losses) from investment fund trading, and other related income (loss).

Net operating income in the fourth quarter, totaled $1.2 million, compared to a loss of $2.1 million in the prior quarter, and compared to net operating income of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter 2007. The increase in the fourth quarter 2008 when compared to the third quarter 2008 was due to increased net gains by negotiation at the Investment Fund. The decrease when compared to the fourth quarter 2007 was due to lower net interest income, largely the result of decreased market interest rates.

8

As of December 31, 2008, the Investment Fund’s balance totaled $151 million, compared to $150 million as of September 30, 2008, and compared to $128 million as of December 31, 2007, when balances under management included $47 million in funds placed with the Bank.

Based on the beginning of the year net asset value (“NAV”), 2008 return on Bladex’s investment in the Fund was 12.2%.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

KEY FINANCIAL FIGURES AND RATIOS

9

The following graphs illustrate trends in Net Operating Income and Return on Average Stockholders’ Equity for the following periods:

10

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGINS

  • Net interest income divided by average balance of interest-earning assets.

For the year 2008, net interest income amounted to $77.8 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 10% from 2007, reflecting mostly increased lending spreads and higher average loan volumes in the Commercial Division, which offset the decrease in the average loan portfolio in the fourth quarter, 2008.

Net interest income in the fourth quarter 2008 reached $14.7 million, a decrease of 32%, or $7.0 million, from the third quarter 2008, largely the result of lower average loan volumes, the cost of funding higher liquidity, and lower market interest rates.

FEES AND COMMISSIONS

  • Net of commission expenses

11

During 2008, and compared to 2007, fees and commissions increased 31% or $1.7 million, mostly reflecting increased income from letters of credit.

Fees and commissions in the fourth quarter 2008 decreased 43%, or $1.0 million, compared to the previous quarter, and 20%, or $0.3 million, from fourth quarter 2007, reflecting mostly decreased volumes of letters of credit, as the Bank reduced exposure to vulnerable industries towards year-end.

12

PORTFOLIO QUALITY AND PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses amounted to $85.4 million. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to the commercial portfolio was 2.8%, compared to 2.0% in September 30, 2008, and compared to 1.9% as of December 31, 2007. The increase in the allowance for credit losses to the commercial portfolio reflects the impact of increasing risk levels in the Region on the Bank’s reserve model.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for 2008 were $40.0 million, an increase of $3.0 million, compared to 2007. The increase was primarily driven by the $1.7 million cost of general growth in the Investment Fund, the $1.0 million cost of the write-off of an information technology application, a $1.2 million increase in other operating expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in professional services expenses. Offsetting these increases was a $1.8 million decrease in salaries and other employee expenses mostly related to a 33% decrease in employee variable compensation.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter amounted to $9.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the third quarter 2008, principally due to a $0.7 million increase in direct expenses of the Investment Fund, and a $0.7 million increase in professional services mainly associated with legal expenses.

13

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

This press release contains forward-looking statements of expected future developments. The Bank wishes to ensure that such statements are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements pursuant to the safe harbor established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this press release refer to the growth of the credit portfolio, including the trade portfolio, the increase in the number of the Bank’s corporate clients, the positive trend of lending spreads, the increase in activities engaged in by the Bank that are derived from the Bank’s client base, anticipated operating income and return on equity in future periods, including income derived from the Treasury Division and Asset Management Division, the improvement in the financial and performance strength of the Bank and the progress the Bank is making. These forward-looking statements reflect the expectations of the Bank’s management and are based on currently available data; however, actual experience with respect to these factors is subject to future events and uncertainties, which could materially impact the Bank’s expectations. Among the factors that can cause actual performance and results to differ materially are as follows: the anticipated growth of the Bank’s credit portfolio; the continuation of the Bank’s preferred creditor status; the impact of increasing/decreasing interest rates and of improving macroeconomic environment in the Region on the Bank’s financial condition; the execution of the Bank’s strategies and initiatives, including its revenue diversification strategy; the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for credit losses; the need for additional provisions for credit losses; the Bank’s ability to achieve future growth, to reduce its liquidity levels and increase its leverage; the Bank’s ability to maintain its investment-grade credit ratings; the availability and mix of future sources of funding for the Bank’s lending operations; potential trading losses; the possibility of fraud; and the adequacy of the Bank’s sources of liquidity to replace large deposit withdrawals.

Non-GAAP Disclosures and Reconciliation

This press release contains non-GAAP financial information relating to the Bank's income. The Bank believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information provides important supplementary information to investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the Bank's financial condition and results of operations. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Bank should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titles measures used by other companies.

15

The non-GAAP financial information excludes the accounting classification of certain securities financings (repos) as outright sales required by accounting rule FASB Statement No. 140, as well as the positive impact of FASB Statement No. 157. The Bank believes that the presentation of the non-GAAP net income excluding these accounting impacts may enhance the comparability of the Bank's net income for the year ended December 31, 2008 with that of other periods because (1) the FASB Statement No. 140 accounting treatment does not decrease the Bank’s capital, nor impact the Bank’s cash flow, liquidity, or asset quality, (2) the non-GAAP information reflects the manner in which the Bank accounted for repos under historically prevalent market conditions, and (3) the non-GAAP information excludes the positive impact of FASB Statement No. 157 during an extraordinarily volatile fourth quarter 2008.

We have provided for your reference in Exhibit XIV supplemental financial disclosure for the non-GAAP financial measure of net income described above, including the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and an associated reconciliation.
