The rating agency also highlighted the approval of the 9th General Capital Increase, which increases the Bank’s authorized capital from $7bn to $10bn, incorporates Panama and the Dominican Republic as Series “A” Shareholders, and makes capital available for the incorporation of potential new highly rated members.
For the rating agency, these elements strengthen the bank’s governance and its capacity to maintain solid capital metrics as it continues to expand its operations.

The new positive outlook assigned by Moody’s, in turn, reflects the expectation the bank will continue strengthening its capital adequacy, deepening the diversification of its credit exposures, and broadening its shareholder base, signaling a potential rating upgrade should a highly rated member be incorporated, thereby consolidating a trajectory of continuous improvement in its financial and institutional profile.
