A.    Credit risk (continued)
ii.    Collateral and other credit enhancements
The amount and type of collateral required depends on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. Guidelines are in place covering the acceptability and valuation of each type of collateral.
Derivatives and repurchase agreements
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into derivative financial instrument transactions and securities sold under repurchase agreements under industry standard agreements. Depending on the collateral requirements stated in the contracts, the Bank and counterparties can receive or deliver collateral based on the fair value of the financial instruments transacted between parties. Collateral typically consists of pledged cash deposits and securities. The master netting agreements include clauses that, in the event of default, provide for close-out netting, which allows all positions with the defaulting counterparty to be terminated and net settled with a single payment amount.
The International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement (“ISDA”) and similar master netting arrangements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the consolidated statement of financial position. This is because they create for the parties to the agreement a right of set-off of recognized amounts that is enforceable only following an event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Bank or the counterparties or following other predetermined events.
Such arrangements provide for single net settlement of all financial instruments covered only by the agreements in the event of default on any one contract. Master netting arrangements do not normally result in an offset of balance–sheet assets and liabilities unless certain conditions for offsetting are met.
Although master netting arrangements may significantly reduce credit risk, it should be noted that:
-    Credit risk is eliminated only to the extent that amounts due to the same counterparty will be settled after the assets are realized.
-    The extent to which overall credit risk is reduced may change substantially within a short period because the exposure is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.
Loans

The main types of collateral obtained for commercial lending are as follows:
-    Liens on real estate property, inventory and trade receivables.

The Bank also obtains guarantees from parent companies for loans to their subsidiaries. Management monitors the market value of collateral and will request additional collateral in accordance with the underlying agreement. It is the Bank’s policy to dispose of repossessed property in an orderly fashion. The proceeds are used to reduce or repay the outstanding claim. In general, the Bank does not occupy repossessed property or received in lieu of payment, for business use.
The Bank holds guarantees and other financial credit enhancements against certain exposures in the loan portfolio. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the coverage ratio to the carrying amount of the loan portfolio was 12%.
iii.    Incorporation of forward-looking information
The Bank incorporates information about forward-looking economic environment, when assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition applying customer and country risk rating models which include projections of the inputs under analysis.
A.    Credit risk (continued)
Supplementary, for the expected credit loss measurement, the results of the “alert model” can be considered, through the assessment of a severity indicator to total risk resulting from the estimates and assumptions of several macroeconomic factors. These estimates and assumptions are supported by a base scenario. Other scenarios represent upside and downside results. The implementation and interpretation of the outcomes of the alert model are based on Management´s expert judgment, pondering on suggestions of areas such as Credit Risk, Economic Studies and Loan Recovery of the Bank.
The external information could include economic data and projections published by governmental committees, monetary agencies (for example, the U.S. Federal Reserve and banking authorities from countries where the Bank operates), supranational organizations (International Monetary Fund, The World Bank, World Trade Organization), private sector, academic projections, credit rating agencies, among other.
Main macroeconomic variables of the alert model with forward-looking scenarios are:
VariablesDescription
GDP Growth (Var. %)% Variation in the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
ComEx Growth Index (Var. %)% Variation in foreign trade growth (Export + Import)
The model uses, as main inputs, the percentage variation of the gross domestic product and the percentage of the foreign trade growth index. The main movements and changes in the variables are analyzed, in general and in particular for each country in the region. The historical and projected information over a period of five years allows Management to estimate the macroeconomic effects in the Bank's portfolio.
A.    Credit risk (continued)
The table below lists the alert model's macroeconomic assumptions for countries representing the higher exposures, for the base, upside and downside scenarios over the five-year forecasted average available for each reporting period.

Liquidity risk
i.Exposure to liquidity risk
The key measure used by the Bank for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to deposits from customers and short-term funding. For this purpose, ‘net liquid assets’ include cash and cash equivalents which consist of deposits from banks and customers, as well as corporate debt securities rated A- or above.
B.Liquidity risk (continued)
The following table details the Bank’s liquidity ratios, described in the previous paragraph, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

B.    Liquidity risk (continued)
Even though the average term of the Bank’s assets exceeds the average term of its liabilities, the associated liquidity risk is diminished by the short-term nature of a significant portion of the loan portfolio, since the Bank is primarily engaged in financing foreign trade.
The following table includes the carrying amount for the Bank’s loans and securities short-term portfolio with maturity within one year based on their original contractual term along with its average remaining term:

Management of interest rate risk is complemented by monitoring the sensitivity of the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities to various standard interest rate scenarios. Standard scenarios that are considered on a monthly basis include a 50bps, 100bps and 200bps parallel fall or rise in all yield curves which are assessed based on market conditions.
Following is an analysis of the Bank’s sensitivity to the most likely increase or decrease in market interest rates at the reporting date, assuming no asymmetrical movements in yield curves and a constant financial position:
Change in

Effect on
equity
December 31, 2022+50 bps4,559 676 
-50 bps(4,629)(206)
December 31, 2021+50 bps(45)17,232 
-50 bps(2,297)10,772 
Interest rate movements affect reported equity in the following ways:
-    Retained earnings: increases or decreases in net interest income and in fair values of derivatives reported in profit or loss;
-    Fair value reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of financial assets at FVOCI reported directly in equity; and
C.    Market risk (continued)
-    Hedging reserve: increases or decreases in fair values of hedging instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.
This sensitivity provides an analysis of changes in interest rates, considering the previous year´s interest rate volatility.
