BLADEX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER NET INCOME OF $14.0 MILLION, VERSUS
$14.8 MILLION IN THE THIRD QUARTER 2007

YEAR TO DATE NET INCOME WAS $59.4 MILLION,
$2.8 MILLION HIGHER THAN THE SAME PERIOD 2007

YEAR TO DATE “ROE” OF 12.6%, UNCHANGED FROM THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR

Panama City, Republic of Panama, October 8, 2008 - Banco Latinoamericano de Exportaciones, S.A. (NYSE: BLX) (“Bladex” or the “Bank”) announced today its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Third Quarter’s Results were driven by:
 
 
-
Commercial Division’s net operating income(1) for the quarter was $16.7 million, representing a 29% increase compared to the second quarter 2008, and an increase of 55% compared to the third quarter 2007.
 
 
-
Although the year to date return of Bladex’s investment in our Asset Management Division was 11.6%, its net operating loss for the third quarter was $2.2 million, a decrease of $12.3 million when compared to the second quarter 2008, and a decrease of $5.9 million compared to the third quarter 2007.
 
 
-
Treasury Division’s net operating loss was $0.7 million, compared to a $3.0 million gain in the second quarter 2008, and compared to a $0.8 million gain in the third quarter 2007, due to the carry cost of strong liquidity and the absence of gains on the sale of securities during the third quarter 2008.
 
 
-
The combined effect of these factors was a net income for the third quarter of $14.0 million, a decline of $12.3 million compared to the second quarter 2008, and compared to the third quarter 2007, net income decreased by $0.8 million.
 
 
-
As of September 30, 2008, the Bank had no credits in non-accrual or past due status.
 
 
-
As of September 30, 2008, liquidity(2) stood at $469 million, representing an increase of $96 million, or 26% from the previous quarter. Tier 1 capital ratio stood at 18.4%, compared to 19.0% in the prior quarter.
 
Mr. Jaime Rivera, Bladex’s Chief Executive Officer, stated the following regarding the quarter’s results: “Bladex’s performance during the third quarter reflected business conducted in an environment that was tougher than usual, but for which the Bank was well prepared.

Most importantly, during the third quarter 2008, the Commercial Division performed at record levels. As strong as the Commercial Division’s performance was, however, it could not fully offset the impact of diminished performance in the Asset Management Division.



On a year to date basis, Bladex remains ahead of its results for 2007, which validates the benefits of its diversified business model.

Under current market conditions, liquidity management, always one of our strengths, has become paramount. Starting in August, 2007, we established stringent guidelines in anticipation of a deteriorating market. The placement of a $245 million oversubscribed syndicated term loan facility on August 8th, 2008, was part of the plan we put in effect. Once conditions deteriorated starting in mid September, we slowed our portfolio growth to quickly build a comfortable $469 million liquidity position, none of which is deposited in any of the institutions that have gone bankrupt in recent weeks.

Asset quality, which Bladex has been monitoring with special care ever since a slowdown in the U.S. economy became a possibility, remains solid. While Bladex has noted some pressure developing on the absolute levels of EBITDA in some industries as commodity prices come off their record levels, debt coverage ratios remain sound.

As we have stated before, Bladex does not own, nor has it ever owned, any of the asset classes that have come to be generally known as "toxic debt" in the industry.

As of the end of the third quarter, Bladex Asset Management had invested 99.9% of its funds under management in U.S. treasuries. Bladex’s share of trading losses(3) incurred during the quarter was $1.1 million, not an inconsequential amount, but a relatively modest one in the context of the $15.5 million trading gains(3) realized year to date.

Regarding other indicators, expenses during the quarter decreased $1.5 million, or 13%, loan loss reserve coverage strengthened to 2%, and Tier 1 capitalization stood at a strong 18.4%.

This was a quarter where Bladex’s strengths in terms of its sound strategy, effective business model, skilled and experienced management, and a strong brand came to the forefront. It was also a period during which Bladex’s ability to support Latin America’s trade flows in times of market stress once again proved Bladex’s strategic importance to companies, governments, and people in our Region."

Net operating income for the third quarter 2008 reached $16.7 million, representing an increase of 29%, compared to the second quarter 2008, and an increase of 55% from the third quarter 2007. With respect to the previous quarter, weighted average lending spreads(8) increased 21 bps (14%). Weighted average lending spreads on new disbursements during the quarter were 2.07%, a 14 bps, or 7%, increase with respect to the previous quarter.
 
The following graph illustrates the trend in quarterly lending spreads:
 
 
The average commercial portfolio grew 2% during the third quarter, and 11% during the last year. The combination of wider spreads and increased volumes resulted in a $2.4 million, or 18%, growth in net interest income on lending spreads. These increases were partially offset by $0.5 million in lower yields on allocated capital, due to lower average market interest rates during the quarter.
 
End of period commercial portfolio balances decreased 6% with respect to June 30, 2008, as the Bank slowed its lending activities in response to rising levels of uncertainty. The same trend was observed in credit disbursements during the quarter, which amounted to $1.5 billion, 23% lower than the previous quarter. (Please refer to Exhibit XII for the Bank’s distribution of credit disbursements by country.)

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 70%, or $2,981 million, maturing within one year, of which 52%, or $1,563 million, mature before December 31, 2008. 63% of the commercial portfolio represents trade financing operations.
 
As of September 30, 2008, the Bank had no credits in non-accruing or past-due status.

The Treasury Division incorporates the Bank’s investment securities activities. Net operating income is presented net of allocated operating expenses, and includes net interest income on investment securities, and net gains on sales of securities available for sale.

Net operating loss for the quarter totaled $0.7 million, compared to a net operating income of $3.0 million in the second quarter 2008 and $0.8 million in the third quarter 2007, decreases of $3.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These variations reflect mostly the absence and lower levels of gains on sales of securities.

The quarter-end portfolio of securities available for sale totaled $774 million, representing an increase of 5% from June 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, the securities portfolio represented 15% of the Bank’s total credit portfolio, and consisted 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).
 
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 them from fixed interest to floating rate instruments. The available for sale portfolio is marked to market and the impact is recorded in stockholders’ equity through the other comprehensive income account (please refer to Exhibit I). For the third quarter 2008, the impact resulted in a $38 million decrease in stockholders’ equity, equivalent to 1.1% of the Bank’s Tier 1 Capital ratio.
 
As of September 30, 2008, deposit balances totaled $1,551 million, a $185 million (11%) decrease compared to the previous quarter, and $103 million (7%) higher than the figures as of the third quarter 2007.

Net operating loss in the third quarter 2008 totaled $2.2 million, compared to a net operating income of $10.1 million in the second quarter 2008 and $3.7 million in the third quarter 2007, decreases of $12.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Both decreases were driven by trading losses and net losses related to the investment fund totaling $1.1 million during the third quarter 2008.

As of September 30, 2008, the investment fund balance totaled $143 million, compared to $144 million as of June 30, 2008.

The investment fund is managed by the Asset Management Division and follows a Latin America macro strategy, utilizing a combination of products (Foreign Exchange, Equity Indices, Interest Rate Swaps, and Credit) to establish long and short positions in Latin America markets.  Capital preservation is an objective of the fund, and as of September 30, 2008, 99.9% of the fund's assets were temporarily invested in U.S. Treasuries.

The year to date returns of Bladex’s investment in the fund was 11.6% based on the beginning of the year net asset value (“NAV”). During the last twelve months, the total return has amounted to 12.2% of NAV.

Net interest income during the third quarter 2008 reached $21.3 million, an increase of 6% compared to the previous quarter, driven by wider lending spreads, partially offset by a lower yield on the Bank’s available capital.

The $3.7 million, or 21%, increase in net interest income compared to the third quarter 2007, reflects mostly an increased average loan portfolio and higher lending spreads, partly offset by a lower yield on the Bank’s available capital.

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.
