The Bank was established pursuant to a May 1975 proposal presented to the Assembly of Governors of Central Banks in the Region, which recommended the creation of a multinational organization to increase the foreign trade financing capacity of the Region. The Bank was organized in 1977, incorporated in 1978 as a corporation pursuant to the laws of the Republic of Panama, and initiated operations on January 2, 1979.

Banks are also regulated by resolutions and agreements issued by this entity. The main aspects of this law and its regulations include: the authorization of banking licenses, minimum capital and liquidity requirements, consolidated supervision, procedures for management of credit, liquidity and market risks, measures to prevent money laundering, the financing of terrorism and related illicit activities, and procedures for banking intervention and liquidation, among others.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis 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
- 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.

C.Market risk (continued)
Additionally, the Bank measures the sensitivity of the equity value (EVE) following the methodology described by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, which measures the interest rate risk embedded in the equity value, which for interest rate risk purposes is defined as the difference between the net present value of assets less the net present value of liabilities due, based on the impact of a change in interest rates on such present values.
The following table presents the sensitivity analysis performed for the Bank:
