Panama City, Republic of Panama, February 8, 2001 - Banco Latinoamericano de
Exportaciones, S.A. (the "Bank") (NYSE: BLX), a specialized multinational bank

decline of 10% from the fourth quarter of 1999. Earnings per common share after
preferred dividends were $1.16 per common share for the quarter, representing a
decline of 6% compared to the fourth quarter of 1999.

time).
Please call 877-925-2339
Commenting on the Bank's performance, Jose Castaneda, chief executive officer,
said, "BLADEX's results in the fourth quarter of 2000 were mixed with some
improvement evident in the demand for credit from top tier customers and a
decline in our fee based businesses. The overall credit portfolio was
essentially the same as the third quarter. Competitive pressures increased in a
generally weak market environment, causing the decline in our net interest
margin primarily during the first three quarters of 2000. This decline leveled
off in the fourth quarter of 20O0."
"Despite competitive pressure to build the credit portfolio by accepting more
risk, BLADEX's strategy continues to be focused on maintaining asset quality.
We intend to continue to expand our business relationships with creditworthy
customers, and not compromise the quality of our borrowers in pursuit of
short-term margin improvements."
"While the two largest economies in Latin America continue to perform well, the
conditions in many other markets were much less favorable."
"For the year, BLADEX performed well in a difficult market and invested
considerable management time and capital to develop a more agile and pro-active
approach to the changing market. Initiatives were taken to strengthen the risk
management function which has enabled BLADEX to become more competitive as the
customer base is becoming more segmented. The performance of our core business
is improving because of these initiatives and our investments in people and
systems."
"We are encouraged by the internal progress made last year in transforming
BLADEX into a more competitive institution in the Latin American marketplace and
are optimistic about the Bank's future role in the region's growth."
During the year 2000, the Bank repurchased approximately 577 thousand Class B
common shares, which are not traded in the public market. On the other hand, 485
thousand Class B common shares have been converted to date, into Class E common
shares on a one-to-one basis, which contributed to the increase in the number
of Class E common shares trading in the market. Under the share repurchase
program, which started in early December of 2000, the Bank has repurchased to
date, 302 thousand Class E common shares and 156 thousand Class A common shares
(which are not traded in the market). The Bank's total number of common shares
of all classes has been reduced by approximately 1 million common shares in the
last 12 months, to 18.9 million common shares.

Net revenues 35.8 34.0 -5% 139.2 138.6 0%
NET INTEREST INCOME
The net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of
interest-earning assets) and net interest spread (average yield earned
on interest-earning assets less the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities) for the fourth quarter of 2000 were 2.11%
and 1.01%, respectively, compared to 2.26% and 1.27%, respectively, for the
fourth quarter of 1999, and compared to 2.14% and 0.99%, respectively, for the
third quarter of 2000 (without giving effect to interest income of $1,688
thousand received during the third quarter of 2000 on an impaired/cash basis
asset). The Bank estimates that the decrease of 3 basis points in the net
interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2000, as compared to the third
quarter of 2000, was due to lower lending margins resulting from lower demand
and improved risk perception of the largest countries in the Latin American and
Caribbean region, which had a net negative effect of 3 basis points on the net
interest margin.
The net interest margin and net interest spread for the year 2000 were 2.24% and
1.14%, respectively, compared with 2.15% and 1.30%, respectively, for the same
period in 1999. The net interest margin and net interest spread without giving
effect to (i) an adjustment to interest expense of $299 thousand made during
the second quarter of 1999, (ii) an adjustment to interest income of $525
thousand made during the first quarter of 2000 which corresponded to interest
income of the third and fourth quarters of 1999, and (iii) interest income of
$1,688 thousand received during the third quarter of 2000 on an impaired/cash
basis asset, were 2.19%, for the full year 2000, and 2.17% for the full year
1999. The increase of 2 basis points in the net interest margin for the full
year 2000 compared to 1999, was mainly due to:
i) Lower lending margins resulting from lower demand and improved risk
perception of the largest countries in the Latin American and Caribbean
region, which had a negative effect of 23 basis points on the net increase
in the net interest margin;
ii) The increase in non-accruing loans, which had a negative effect of 2 basis
points on the net increase in the interest margin;
iii) Lower marginal cost of funds to the Bank resulting from lower margins paid
on borrowings, which had a positive effect of 2 basis points on the net
increase in the interest margin, and
iv) A higher equity to debt ratio combined with higher interest rates, which
generated a higher return on the Bank's available capital funds, and had a
positive effect of 25 basis points on the net increase in the net interest
margin.
COMMISSION INCOME
Commission income for the full year 2000 was $25.9 million, which represents a
2% decline compared with 1999. Commission income for the year 2000 covered 116%
of the Bank's commission expenses plus operating expenses. The following table

representing an increase of 43% compared to the fourth quarter of 1999 and an
increase of 21% compared to the third quarter of 2000. Operating expenses for
the year 2000 were $21.2 million, an increase of 28% compared to 1999. The

The increase in professional services was primarily due to one time consulting
fees related to the strategic process initiated by the Bank during the second
quarter of 2000. During the year 2000 the Bank also opened a representative
office in Brazil. Operating expenses before provision for performance bonuses
for the year 2000, and excluding these consulting fees related to the strategic
process and the new representative office, grew 15% in relation to the same
period in 1999. The following table sets forth efficiency ratios for the year

The ratio of common equity to total assets was 12.4% at December 31, 2000,
compared to 13.2% at December 31, 1999. Although the Bank is not subject to the
capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve Board, if the Federal
Reserve Board risk-based capital adequacy requirements were applied, the Bank's
Tier 1 and Total Capital Ratios would be 18.3% and 19.9%, respectively.
