Bladex, also known as Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. or Foreign Trade Bank of Latin America, Inc., is a specialized multinational bank headquartered in Panama City, Panama. It was originally established by central banks of Latin American and Caribbean countries to promote foreign trade and economic integration in the region. The Bank was organized in 1977, incorporated in 1978 under Panamanian law, and began operations on January 2, 1979. Panama was chosen for its headquarters due to its importance as a banking center, a fully U.S. dollar-based economy, absence of foreign exchange controls, geographic location, and communication facilities. In 1978, the Republic of Panama granted Bladex certain privileges, including an exemption from income taxes in Panama. The Bank provides services through its head office in Panama City, an agency in New York, a subsidiary in São Paulo, Brazil, representative offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; and Bogotá, Colombia, a representative license in Peru, and a global network of correspondent banks.
