Chairman’s Letter
Dear Shareholders
2013 has been a year of transition for Paraguay. In April, a new president was
elected for the next 5 years, formally taking office on August 15th. This very long,
constitutionally based, transition period between the outgoing and incoming
administrations has had the negative effect of paralyzing the public sector and part
of the economy for almost 8 months. Against this backdrop, the agriculture sector
enjoyed its biggest crop season ever with over 9 million tons of grain produced.
In this peculiar context, Sudameris recorded a 21% growth in total assets while
maintaining NPLs below the system average for an 8th consecutive year. Total
shareholder return for the period was 16%. I consider this a good performance
considering the peculiarities of that election year and the impact it had on the local
economy.
Sudameris Bank closed the year 2013 with its first
ever emission of qualifying Tier II capital under Basel
III. This instrument emitted on the Stock Exchange in
Asuncion bears all the characteristics of a contingent
convertible bond, or “Cocos”. The US$10m issue
was entirely placed with our long-term partner, the
Dutch development bank, FMO and forms part of
a US$20m total issue program. Combined with the
capitalization of a large portion of our 2013 income,
the bank will enjoy a solvency ratio of over 16% at
the beginning of the year 2014, a solid base that
will support its growth strategy for the coming year.
Additionally, the bank has kept the ability to issue an
additional US$10m tranche of contingent convertible
bonds at the end of 2014 should the need be.
As the financial sector is getting more visibility on
the new government’s strategy, I expect 2014 to be
another year of solid growth both for the country and
the banking sector.

Political background
On April 15th 2013 was elected President, Horacio Cartes, a successful
businessman with an clear understanding of the economy and of the country’s
problems. The transition period was marked by difficult communication between
the outgoing and incoming teams. When the elected President was sworn
in, in August, little was known of the reality of the finances of the country. As a
consequence, the President ordered an audit of the country’s financial position
that highlighted a very bleak situation, which forced the new team to halt any public
spending for 5 months.
Although the underlying rationale for that decision was well founded, the impact it
had on the economy, combined with other external factors, was rather brutal with
a drop in consumption and retail spending and a massive rise of the contraband
of consumable products.
The current objective of the government to tackle excessive and unnecessary
public spending should be praised as the country is coming out of two years of
massive increase in the number of civil servants. For the first time, light has been
shed on the worst excesses of mismanagement and nepotism in the Lugo/Franco
government and the ugly burden it has put on the citizens and taxpayers.
The decision to address directly the issue of contraband is also a key strategic angle
that will require time, but in due course, will strongly benefit the country through
additional jobs, increased tax collection and improving international reputation.
In the 4 months between September and December, the new government
managed to pass two very important pieces of legislation that we believe, will
contribute to the foundations for long-term growth:
-
a fiscal responsibility law, capping budget deficit, especially during election
years; and,
-
the public-private-partnership law that provides a legal base for allowing
local and international groups to bid for the massive infrastructure projects
that the country need under concession programs or as public investments.
All this was achieved whilst negotiating the lifting of the political ban endured by
Paraguay within Mercosur since the destitution of President Fernando Lugo in
June 2012.
7
We must continue with the cycle of reforms initiated more than 10 years ago
especially in such critical areas as public and private pensions. The inability of
Paraguay to generate internally its own long-term funding resources not only
increases its dependency on multi-lateral institutions and development banks, but
also impairs the growth potential of its financial sector that has extreme difficulties
in financing long-term infrastructure projects. It is of paramount importance that
Paraguay invest its private sector savings and long-term reserves and assets in
Paraguay, thus funding its own infrastructure development programs.
Considering the very ambitious plans from the new government in terms of longterm growth, education standards will remain a key bottle neck in the country’s
development.
Following the elections, German Rojas, our Vice Chairman at Sudameris Bank for
the past four years, was called to take charge of the Ministry of Finance. German
has been an important part of the development and success of the bank during
his tenure. We would like to thank him for his tremendous contribution to our
institution and wish him all the very best in his new position.
Financial Sector
A major challenge lays ahead in financial systems worldwide and also in Paraguay.
With dissatisfaction and even mistrust in North America and Europe towards
financial institutions and the poor standards of banking practiced, whether or not
with the consent of regulators, there is a mood of sympathy towards non-bank
banking. This is dangerous. Whether it be a payments system, a deposit gatherer
or a lender, these activities must be regulated in a consistent fashion. This is not
happening.
It took a long time to build up a coherent and consistent sets of policies and
guidelines as expressed by Basel I and other such basic building blocks of regulation
and supervision as the separation of commercial and investment banking. As
these prudent standards were dismantled through the repeal of regulation and
the reversal of policy Basel II was borne and the difference between savings and
investments became blurred and eventually unmanageable. The result was tragic.
Basel III is a poor response, which penalizes emerging markets and patches
lightly the broken policies of Basel II. Emerging markets with their well capitalized
banks are shining a unwelcome light on the formerly emerged markets with their
dangerously low capitalizations. As banks in the first world scramble to recapitalize
and therefore restrict lending to boost capital ratios, non-bank banks are stepping
in to provide unregulated banking services ranging from deposit gathering,
payments and lending. This trend is now reaching Paraguay and will end in tears.
We must not yield to high fashion that promises a quick fix. The proposed lack of
regulation of non-bank entities offering to perform the functions of a commercial
bank is simply not acceptable.
8
Looking forward
For Sudameris Bank, we believe that 2014 will begin to reap the fruits of the large
investments that have been made over the past 14 months in both infrastructure
and information technology. The bank is on the verge of launching its new electronic
banking offering that will bring together computer, tablets and smart phones to
offer the best online banking experience possible. The idea of being able to do any
transaction, anytime, anywhere was the core driver of the project, and we believe
that this new tool will facilitate our clients’ experience with the bank and respond to
a growing demand for mobility and flexibility.
We are also opening new attention centers, directly embedded within commercial
centers, such as supermarkets, gas stations, etc, thus allowing the bank to get
closer to its clients and giving the flexibility to respond top their needs based on
their location. We are also finalizing key agreements with technology companies
that will allow us to service clients that the institution could not access easily
beforehand.
We also anticipate the financial sector to grow in 2014 on the back of continued
success in the agro-industrial sector, the growing strength of the meat export
operations and the development of long-term infrastructure projects.
I believe that we will have a prosperous 2014 and that our bank will continue to be
a key player in the coming reforms that the country is embarking on. I also would
like to take this opportunity to thank the staff and managers for their dedication
and focus, especially in the development and implementation of new products and
ideas that will, no doubt, contribute to a very successful 2014 for the bank.
I look forward to reporting again in 2015.

THE WORLD SCENE
2013 was a year of moderate growth globally, with falls and uncertainty in some
economies that, in spite of the efforts, continue without achieving the economic stability
they enjoyed a few years ago.
UNITED STATES
In a brief account of the economic behavior of the U.S. in 2013, according to
official data, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew respectively by 1.1, 2.5 and
3.6% in the first three quarters. In analyzing this growth, one must take into
account the raise in several taxes and the budget cut that became in force in
March of this year, avoiding what is known as the Fiscal Cliff.
Expectation begun to be perceived in the stock and exchange markets since
the end of May, upon the announcement of the possible withdrawal of monetary
stimulus by the Federal Reserve. However, in successive later meetings, the Fed
clarified that it would continue with the stimulus, but that, given the economic
results being observed, they could progressively reduce the stimulus in year
2014.
One other resounding fact was that, on October 1st, the White House was
forced to close the operations and non essential government offices due to
the closing of the fiscal year, and the failure to approve the national budget
for 2014. Also added, the fact that on October 17 the country would reach the
debt ceiling (US$ 16.7 trillion) and, should its increase not be approved, the
government would go into default due to the lack of funds, for the first time
since 1789. The real problem was mostly a political one, since Congress is
handled by the Republican Party, in the opposition, and the Senate, by the
Democratic Party.
After 16 days of shut down, legislators arrived to an agreement, and by means
of a provisional measure, they extended the debt ceiling until February of
2014 in order to debate on the expenses and a possible reduction of the fiscal
deficit. But these days of shut down generated fright and uncertainty in the
international financial and capital markets, also leaving consequences in the
already fragile American economy, as it would have cost a reduction in the
creation of approximately 120,000 jobs and would decrease by approximately
0.25% the growth in GDP of the last quarter of this year.
The fact that companies’ expenditures decelerated in the third quarter and that
private consumption, representing over two thirds of the American GDP, grew
19
at the slowest rhythm since mid-2011 in a certain manner justified the decision
of the Federal Reserve to maintain its monetary stimulus program until at least
the closing of this year.
Nonetheless, in its last meeting of the year, the Fed finally announced that as
from January it will begin to reduce the monetary stimulus it had been applying
through the purchase of Treasury Bonds. The reduction will be gradual: at first,
as from January, it will inject US$ 75 billion monthly versus the current US$ 85
billon (it will purchase US$ 40 billion worth of State securities and US$ 35 billion
in mortgage securities).
They also clarified that they might continue reducing the rhythm of their assets
purchases if improvements occur in the labor market and if inflation returns to
their goal of 2% annual.
EUROPE
Several economies in the European Union are in a recession since 2012, and
governments continue looking for a way out of the crisis. Unemployment is also
high, at 12.1% in the Euro Zone, but exceeding 25% in some countries like
Spain, and Greece. Projections show that this year would record zero growth in
the GDP of the Euro Zone.
20
Upon all these facts, and taking into account the low levels of inflation, during
the first week of the month of May the European Central Bank (ECB) reduced
its reference interest rate from 1 to 0.5%, and then, in November, again, to the
historical minimum of 0.25%. A measure that took the market by surprise, but
that is in accordance with the expansive monetary policy that the principal
economies are executing. With this, the ECB pretends that the lower interest
rates will favor credit and investment, at the same time generating higher
inflationary pressure.
CURRENCIES AND COMMODITIES
The announcement by the Federal Reserve in June that it could begin to reduce
monetary stimulus generated a change in the quotation trend of the US Dollar,
strengthening it against other currencies, and reaching a rate of 1.28 US$/Euro.
However, the clarification that reductions would not take place before the end
of 2013 o the beginning of 2014 returned a certain calm to the markets and the
Dollar stopped its appreciation.
21
A few months later, in October, the Dollar was pressured downwards due to the
uncertainty generated by the shutdown of the American Government and the
possibility of default.
In spite of the agreement arrived at in the United States, the Dollar continued to
quote lower versus the Euro, reaching 1.38 US$/€.
In terms of Agriculture commodities, the international price of soybeans, although
with some backpedalling, is still at good levels. The crop of soy for 2013/14 is about
to end in the U.S., and a very good production is estimated. Abundant offer would
have an improving effect in the stock/consumption ratio that could press prices
downward. However, in the midterm, this would be balanced by a strong demand
for human consumption, for vegetal oil fuel, and for forage.
Corn´s world market comes from a year 2012 that was very complicated from the
production side, above all in the U.S., which had the worst draught in history. South
America, which also suffered the effects of the draught during the first half of 2012,
could recover in the 2012/13 campaign, favored by better climate conditions and
very good price incentives.
22
From now on, when the reduction of the monetary stimulus already has a starting
date, the lowering trend of the U.S. currency versus the Euro would stop, and could
even revert itself, since there will be a smaller amount of Dollars available in the
market.
Expectations for the next 2013/14 campaign comes linked to the possibility that
the world´s largest producer and exporter recover ground lost. The U.S. planted
a record surface and climatic conditions are favorable. Larger production is also
expected in China, the European Union, and Ukraine, who together would crop 20
million more than in the past campaign. Under this recovery panorama of world
production and lower prices due to the improvement in the stock/consumption
ratios, incentives for the planting in South America are somehow diminished. The
large U.S. offer of corn would limit hikes for at least the following six months.
World wheat production in the 2013/14 campaign projects upwards, while
consumption would increase, but at a slower rhythm due to the smaller consumption
of wheat for animal feeding. This is so given that currently there is a migration
towards the use of corn instead of wheat, since the prices of the later greatly exceed
those of corn. Russia, the U.E., Ukraine and Korea are examples of this. The stock/
consumption ratio for wheat is estimated to remain the same versus the previous
campaign, a relation of 26%, or the smallest of the four last campaigns. Thus, it is
to be expected that this relation will give support to the prices of the cereal in the
future. Demand for food consumption remains firmly upwards.
23
In terms of oil, during the last few months prices are relatively stable. It is worth
mention that besides political aspects, conflicts in the Mid East and the decisions
of production countries, certain factors are existing that might influence importantly
in oil prices. One of the, is the increase in the production of oil in the U.S. since
2009, accompanied of a decrease in the imports of crude. All this is related with
the use of techniques to extract shale gas and shale oil 1 .
1. The technique known as fracking (hydraulic fracturing) is an extraction method for oil (and its derivates) consisting of the injection of a mixture of
water, sand, and chemicals within a well. Thus, the raw material trapped within soft rocks – mostly shale oil – is freed and extracted from the surface.
The high pressures, sand, and chemicals open way between the rocks in the terrestrial underground creating fissures of an important size to channel
desired organic material towards an extracting bomb receiving the name of shale gas and shale oil.
24
WORLD GROWTH
Although the advanced economies are beginning to show some recovery signs, at
the same time, the principal emerging economies grow at a slower pace as they
have to deal with more difficult financial conditions globally.
Before this scenario, during the first days of October, the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) again lowered its growth projections globally with respect to the ones it
had made in July, April, and January. The projection of world growth for the current
year went from 3.1 to 2.9%.
In analyzing the principal economies, expectations vary. The growth projections
for the U.S. went from 1.7 to 1.6%; The panorama is better in the Euro Zone, and
the fall in the block would be lesser, from -0.6 to -0.4%, with Italy (-1.8%) and Spain
(-1.3%) with the worst performances. For the Japanese economy, projections are
maintained at 2.0%.
The perspective for growth of the emerging economies went from 5.0 to 4.5%. It is
estimated that China and India will continue growing at good rates, but quite lower
than their respective average of 7.6 and 3.8%. For Latin America, the projection
went from 3.0 to 2.7%; and for Brazil it was maintained at 2.5%.
Projections for 2014 were also reduced, but the results would be better than in the
current year: the world would grow by 3.6%, the U.S. 2.6%, the Euro Zone 1.0%
and Latin America, 3.1%.
25
THE REGIONAL PANORAMA
BRAZIL
After having closed the second quarter with a growth rate of 1.8%, Brazil´s
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reached US$ 536 billion during the third quarter,
representing a decrease of 0.5% with respect to the previous quarter, but up 2.2%
when compared with the same period in 2012.
In analyzing economic sectors, Agriculture had a poor performance, with a
decrease of 3.5% versus the previous quarter, and of 1% versus the third quarter of
2012. Industry grew by 0.1 and 1.9% respectively, highlighting good performance
of extractive industry, and a decrease in civil construction and transformation
industry. Services grew by 0.1% versus the second quarter, and 2.2% when
compared with one year before, with the main impulse from transportation.
On the side of Demand, private consumption had a quarterly growth of 1% and
of 2.3% in inter-annual terms. However, investment fell 2.2% versus the previous
quarter, although when compared with the same quarter of 2012, it shows growth
of 7.3%. The detention generates some concern regarding the future capability of
expansion of the Brazilian economy.
The Government´s growth projections of the GDP for this year are of 2.5%, while for
2014 private analysts estimate 2.1%.
26
In its November meeting, the Monetary Policy committee of the Central Bank of
Brazil (BACEN) again raised the SELIC reference rate, this time from 9.5 to 10%, in
what constitutes the sixth consecutive change upwards. With this, the SELIC rate
returns to two digits after twenty months. This rise was in accordance with market
expectations.
After this rate increase, Brazil takes the first place in the world ranking of real rates
(interest rate less inter annual inflation) with 4.1%, followed by China with 3.1% and
Chile with 2.8%; while the world average rate is at -0.6%.
For 2014, more pressure is expected on prices, derived from the depreciation of
the Real that is taking place, and also from the eventual increases in the prices
of certain regulated products (such as fuel and public transportation fares), that
were maintained during this year because of the manifestations against price
rises. According to financial analysts, the rate could again go up, and would be
maintained at two digit levels for a couple of years.
ARGENTINA
During the last few years, the Argentinean Government has implemented quite
particular policies that today place the country in a complicated situation. One
of these policies is the high monetary issuance to finance public expenses and
belatedness in terms of foreign exchange rates, which made that the market
overflow with Pesos that were losing value due to inflation. Adding the loss of
27
confidence, made that the Dollar become a shelter. They also applied a series
of measures each one more restrictive in the foreign exchange market, with
which the “Blue” Dollar became ever stronger. Since the Government is using the
Central Bank to finance itself, international reserves have fallen sustainedly, and
the capability to cover the monetary base was reduced by one half in two years.
During the first days of December, reserves went through one other psychological
barrier, falling below US$ 31.0 billion, and thus further incentivizing the escape of
US Dollars.
CURRENCIES
A nivel regional, dado el bajo crecimiento económico de Brasil, sobre todo del
sector industrial, a mitad de año el Banco Central dio lugar a que el real se
deprecie frente al dólar, aplicando medidas para impulsar la economía como la
reducción a cero de la tasa sobre el ingreso de capitales internacionales (IOF)
para atraer capitales considerando la perspectiva de menores niveles mundiales
de liquidez. Así, se dio una fuerte caída en la cotización del real, que llegó a 2,4
R$/US$ a mediados de agosto. Luego, en septiembre y octubre la depreciación
se frenó, pero a partir de noviembre retomó la tendencia bajista.
In Argentina, the Peso continues its devaluation, and given the restrictions on
foreign exchange, the “parallel” dollar continues its uninterrupted rise, at about
9.6 Ar$/US$, some 53% above the official exchange rate (it even reached 10 Ar$/
US$ in October).
28
THE LOCAL PANORAMA
THE REAL SECTOR
After growing at a rate of 15.8% in the first quarter of this year, and of 14.9% in
the second quarter, the GDP grew during the third quarter at a pace of 12.9%
versus the same period of the previous year. Again, the principal impulse was
in Agriculture, growing by 51.8%, which produces a multiplying effect in related
activities.
Cattle ranching experienced inter annual growth of 8.0% given the optimal levels
of termination that are taking place this year. The construction sector, which in the
two first quarters had grown at rates higher than 10%, slowed down during the
third quarter, growing by just 4.3%. Other sectors showing good growth in the third
quarter were Industry, with 11.6% and Services with 10.5%, highlighting among
them the vegetable oil industry, beef, textiles, and chemical and financial services,
commerce, transportation, and communications.
In analyzing the GDP from the side of Demand, during the first and second quarters
it had been observed that the growth in civil constructions, the good Agricultural
year, and strong public investments led to an important recovery in investments,
growing by 31.6%. However, during the second quarter this growth quite slowed
29
down, to about 11.6%, something which was accentuated even more in the third
quarter, when growth was of only 3.1%. This deceleration is owed to the detention
in public investments, which in the second quarter fell by 4.4% and in the third
quarter, by 22.3% in inter annual terms.
Total consumption continues growing at moderate rates, due to the fall in public
consumption, but principally due to the low growth in private consumption, that is,
those expenses all citizens make and which represents 70% of total consumption.
Although the economy is having a good year, a retraction is being observed in
consumption, derived from several factors. One of them is the gap existing
between the official and the “parallel” Dollar in Argentina, which gave impulse to the
smuggling of consumer products towards our country, causing a negative impact
in commerce at the local level, making that sales of several items decrease. Also,
the depreciation of the Real reduces the purchasing capability of the Brazilians
abroad, and this negatively impacts in our border commerce. One other factor that
contributed to the slowness in consumption is the deceleration of credit, given the
high level of indebtedness consumers already have.
With these results Paraguay leads growth in Latin America, with a growth rate quite
above that of the average in the region. According to projections of the BCP, the
GDP in 2013 would have an expansion of 13.6.
AGRICULTURE
During the soybeans campaign of 2012/13, production exceeded all projections,
and even its own record. Finally, as it was expected, favorable climate conditions
permitted that soy have a very good performance. The surface sown was of
almost 3.2 million hectares, and the average yield was of 2,967 kg/ha. Besides
excellent production, good international prices permitted that the producer obtain
good margins and recompose his financial situation after the meager results of the
previous campaign.
Production of corn experienced a recovery, principally from the yield levels. The
wheat campaign for 2013 has culminated with probably the worst results in the last
ten years, with yields barely reaching 1.2 ton/ha versus 2.2 ton/ha in the previous
campaign, due to the adverse climate they had to face during the winter. Thus,
production fell by 50%. Notwithstanding, there is strong demand by Brazil, as they
have to cover the need for over 7.0 million tons, given that their main supplier,
Argentina, has a low quality production, lower than previous year’s levels.
30
Also, the dry conditions, followed by freezes in the productive regions in southern
Brazil took to a loss of 1 million tons versus the initial forecast, reducing domestic
supply. Brazil will have to import a total of 6.7 million tons of wheat, or 4.4% more
than last year. This could be an incentive for the production of wheat at the local
level in the next campaign, in order to gain some ground as a supplier to Brazil.

At the closing of October, imports of agro-chemicals and fertilizers also show
Notable growth versus the same period of the previous year. Import of fertilizers
had a marked increase of 22.1%. Imports of Agricultural machinery as of the
closing of October exhibit important increase in terms of quantities: 92% more
tractors were imported, 200% more sowing machines, 220% more pulverizers,
and 91% more harvesters.
Soy and its sub products (grains, oil, flour) and the country´s top export products,
generating some US$ 3.8 billion in exports as of November 2013. This expansion
is also reflected in a larger installation capacity for the grinding of soy, given that in
the last few years the presence has increase of multinational exporting companies,
and that also, close to 50 Agricultural cooperatives are operating.
31
The launching of the 2013/14 soybeans campaign took place at the beginning of
October. To date, most of the sowing work is finished, and the estimation is that the
first harvests would begin during the first half of January. According to estimates,
the sowing area would grow by 3.0%, with a yield of 2.8 million tons per hectare.
Depending on the evolution of the climate phenomenon currently acting over the
region, production would again reach 9 million tons. This would greatly depend on
the rains at the times of flowering and loading of the seeds.
CATTLE RANCHING
Total kills during 2013 reached optimum levels, with a monthly average of 160
thousand heads, or 27% more than in 2012. Added to this good performance at
the sector, the fact that during the month of November, the World Organization for
Animal Health (OIE) restituted Paraguay´s sanitary status as “country free of food
and mouth disease with vaccination” that had been suspended in September,
2011 after the outbreak of the illness. This constituted excellent news for the whole
beef chain: producers, cold storage plants, financial institutions, among others.
The main effects are:
• Steps may be restarted to export to the premium markets of the European
Union again.
• Exports to Taiwan could be reassume
• Paraguay´s sanitary rating could improve. Rating is done by the Chile
Agricultural Service (SAG), and the rating could go from level 3, to level 2.
With this, we could export beef sub products to that country
32
It is estimated that the current processing capacity is of approximately 13,800 tons
daily. The launching of the soy campaign for 2013/14 took place at the beginning
of October. To date, most of the sowing work is finalized, and it is estimated that
as from the first half of January, the first harvesting would take place. According to
estimates, the sowing area would register an increase of about 3.0% with a yield
of 2.8 million tons per hectare. Depending on the climatic phenomenon that is
currently over the region, production could again reach 9 million tons, this would
greatly depend on the rains at the times of flowering and seed loading.
By the end of November, beef exports total 232 thousand tons, the equivalent of
US$ 951 million. These amounts already exceed 2010´s totals that had been a
record, both in volume and in value.
Russia continues being the principal export market for the country, concentrating
57% of total deliveries. The country imports principally frozen beef, and Paraguay
is the country selling at the lowest price within our region.
Deliveries of cooled beef were the ones that showed the largest growth, with Brazil
as the principal market, although closely followed by Chile, which purchase are
showing sustained increase, above all in the second semester. It is expected that
in the following months, exports of cooled beef will gain ground, above all because
of the increase in deliveries to Chile that would again be the principal destination
of this type of meat.
The increase in production expected for 2014 and the consequent increase in
volumes exported at better prices, derived of the re-entry into better paying
markets, could result in exports levels that would exceed US$ 1.1 billion.
33
CONSTRUCTION
The Construction sector begun to recover during the second half of 2012, with the
beginning of important works of infrastructure by the public sector, and the increase
in activity in the private sector, highlighting construction of corporate offices. During
the first quarter of this year, the inter annual growth was of 14.1% and 12.0% in the
second quarter.
However, by the midyear the sector begun to slow down, as reflected in the lower
sales of cement and growth of only 4.3% in the third quarter. Nonetheless, the
fourth quarter would be recovering in dynamics with the reactivation of several
works.
OTHER SECTORS
As an indicator of the performance in the transportation sector, one may take the
freights related to Agriculture and Cattle ranching, growing at an inter annual rate
of 30% during the period from January to November of this year, compared with
the same period of 2012.
With regards to Commerce, as of the closing of November of this year, sales at
supermarkets fell by about 14% versus the same period of 2012. Great part of this
fall is related with the increase of smuggling of consumer products from Argentina,
with a negative impact in commerce at the local level, as their sales of several items
are reduced.
34
FISCAL SECTOR
The total of revenues of the Central Administration in the period from January to
October reaches Gs. 23.1 trillion. Comparing this amount with what was collected in
the same period of the previous year; it is observed that this fiscal year experiences
positive variation of about 0.7%. It is important to outline that the Resources from
the Public Credit grew by 175% and Institutional Resources fell by 26%.
With regards to Tax Revenues, during the period from January to October of
2013, they amounted to Gs. 12 trillion, or 5% more than in 2012. The increase
had the impulse mostly in the receipts by the Under Secretary of State for Taxation
(Subsecretaria de Estado de Tributación - SET), collecting Gs. 6.4 trillion, an
increase of more than 9% over the previous year. The collections by the National
Customs Direction (Dirección Nacional de Aduanas) totaled Gs. 5.7 trillion, or 1%
over the same period of 2012.
Expenses executed by the Central Administration in the period from January to
October total Gs. 18.6 trillion, representing an increase of 8% compared with
2012. MSPyBS, MOPC and MEC present percentage increases in the execution
of their respective budgets, of 2%, 31% and 8%. In analyzing by type of expense,
personal services rose by 12% and investments 25%.

The project for the Nation´s General Budget for 2014 was presented in September.
Total expenses budgeted amount to Gs. 57 trillion, the equivalent to about US$
12.7 billion, representing 39.1% of the projected GDP of next year. In order to
prepare the PGN 2014 the government estimated that next year the economy will
grow by 8.5%, inflation will be about 4.8% and the exchange rate of the US dollar
will be Guaranies 4,488. The project of PGN 2014 is lower by 1.9% to the one
approved for 2013. On the side of revenues, an increase of 15.4% is budgeted in
tax revenues. Current expenses by the Central Administration will grow by 1.7%.
According to the project, the PGN 2014 carries a deficit of the equivalent of 2.2% of
GDP; to finance this result, it is anticipated to have disbursements of foreign loans
and the issuance of treasury Bonds, as well as the use of funds originating from
sovereign bonds placed abroad.
The PGN 2014 was sanctioned by med December, with several modifications to
the initial project. The same is to be vetoed or promulgated by the President.
The balance of the foreign debt as of the closing of October was of US$ 2.6 billion,
or 23% more than one year before. In terms of internal indebtedness, in 2013 the
Ministry of Finance issued bonds in March, June, September, October, November,
and December, for some Gs. 1.1 trillion.
36
In the last months, three important laws for the economy have been approved: Law
on Public-Private Alliance, Law in Fiscal Responsibility, and the Law on Agriculture
Income.
EXTERNAL SECTOR
TRADE BALANCE
In the months from January to November of 2013, foreign trade showed a very
good performance, with great improvements in comparison with the previous year.
In absolute terms, growth in exports widely exceeded that of imports, resulting in a
decrease of 52% in the Trade Balance deficit, achieving a level of U$S -1.4 billion.
It is worth to mention that Paraguay has improved its position versus all of its trading
partners, except for Brazil.

EXPORTS
2013 has been a historical year for the country´s exports, having exceeded the
levels reached in previous years for the soy and beef chains. From January to
November, the soy chain has improved by 63% compared with the results obtained
in the first 11 months of 2012.
With the opening of new grain processing plants, apart from the good year for the
soy complex, exports of soy oil and flour have increased by 260% and 400% in
terms of value, respectively, with remittances exceeding two million tons.
It is worth to outline that cultivation of wheat, after finishing year 2012 with excellent
harvesting levels and foreign sales, was hardly hit by the climate. As of November
of 2013, exports decreased by 55% in value and by 66% in volume, resulting in
the worst campaign since 2008.
Bovine beef, on the other side, has grown by 30% in terms of value and volume,
and it is expected that the year will end with exports exceeding a billion dollars, a
record for Paraguay cattle rising. The recent reopening of the Chilean market has
given impulse to a rise in prices, reaching 4,500 U$S/Ton as of November of 2013.
38
Exports of cooled beef have demonstrated good dynamics, with prices in
November of about 5,500 U$S/Ton, or 15.5% above the levels at the beginning
of the year. At the same time, during the first 11 months of the year, remittances
abroad of this type of beef increased by 97% in relation with the same period of
2012. On the other side, exports of frozen beef have increased by 20% in volume,
reaching average prices of 4,400 U$S/Ton, an increase of 10.3% versus the first
month of 2013.
IMPORTS
On the side of imports, the period from January to November of 2013 recorded an
increase of 5.6% versus the same period in the previous year, greatly due to an
increase of 13.2% in Capital Assets.
Within such classification, the largest increases were in Agricultural Machinery
(102.5%), a result of the good crops in 2013 and the perspectives for the next
campaign. Devices and Machinery in the Construction sector also exhibited
considerable growth. Consumer Goods and Intermediate Goods showed slight
progress, growing by 0.9% and 2.2% respectively.
39
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE
Since the end of 2012 practically all projections coincided that in 2013, the rate
of exchange of the Guaraní versus the Dollar would be pressured downwards at
least in the first semester, an important inflow of currency was expected, from the
rebound of exports, the placement of bonds, royalties from the bi-national entities,
and larger foreign investment. However, since the second half of March, the Dollar
interrupts its fall and begins to show some upwards trend, which becomes firmer
in April. It is important to remember that the rate of exchange had been falling
since the last quarter of 2012, a period in which the increase in the demand for
Dollars for imports was lower than expected, and the offer of Dollars was higher
than ordinary. This caused that 2013 begin with a rate of exchange of 4,350 Gs/
US$, which is law in comparison with other years. The fall of the Dollar thorough
January and February reached a minimum of 3,970 Gs/US$, a rate that was not
reached since 2011.
But then, there was the change in trend, and the Dollar became to strengthen.
This was due to international factors, but also, at the local level, the demand for
Dollars was larger than the offer, due to the fact that although exports were growing
versus 2012, the inflow of currency occurred later than usual due to problems with
logistics in the ports of Brazil and Argentina, where our exports are re-shipped
to their final destination, thus causing the delay. There was also a lower inflow of
currency originating in border trading with Brazil, due to the depreciation of the
40
Real and the measures taken by this country to give impulse to its economy, with
a negative impact in this line of business. Added to this, the rise in the outflow of
currency to Argentina given the restrictions imposed by its government.
The rate of exchange became stable as from mid-June, fluctuating around 4,480
Gs./US$ until the end of November.
At the end of November, the BCP announced that it would not intervene in the
currency market in December, as it had been doing about twice a week, but that
it would be paying attention and would be ready to intervene in case of excessive
volatility.
The exchange rate remained stable during the first week of December, but
then starter to go upwards. This became accentuated by mid month, with the
announcement t of the Federal Reserve that the cut in monetary stimulus would
begin in January of 2014. This made that the people purchase dollars, adding to
the larger demand normal in that season of the year 2 and the lack of intervention
by the BCP.
The Real Rate of Exchange (tipo de cambio real - TCR), comparing the data
of October 2013 and October 2012, the Guarani was strengthened versus the
Argentinean Peso (11%), the Brazilian Real (6%), the U.S. dollar (4%) and, in a
lesser degree, the Euro (0.3%).
2. Demand of foreign currency for vacations, payment of imports, and lower inflow of currency.
41
MONETARY AND FINANCIAL SECTOR
MONETARY SECTOR
In the period from January to November of this year, inflation remained under
control and with a downward trend. Accrued inflation in the year reaches 3.7%,
and inter annual inflation is of 4.4%. Subjacent inflation follows the same trend as
total inflation. The principal price increases in the first months of the year were given
in Rentals and Goods and Services related to the maintenance of homes, and
Construction. Since mid year, a larger pressure begun to be observed in foods,
such as beef, due to the lower offer of cattle and the larger dynamics of exports;
flour and breads also rose, caused by the higher international price of wheat.
Although a larger pressure on prices occur normally in December, given current
levels, it can be expected that inflation as of the closing of the year will be at levels
below the center of the goal set by the BCP (5% +/- 2.5%).
A larger pressure on prices can be expected for 2013. One of the reasons would
be that as beef exports become again oriented to the Chilean market, and prices
paid increase, this would cause that local prices also rise. Also, an almost certain
increase in the price of transportation fares and an eventual increase in the price of
Gasoil could press inflation ever upwards.
42
On the side of the demand for money, the growth rate of monetary aggregates has
been slowing since mid year. M1 (notes and coins outstanding, plus deposits at
sight), as of the closing of October, was growing at a rate of 6.6%.
BCP has as its principal goal to maintain prices within the range as established
as goal (5% +-2.5%), and to achieve this, it withdraws Guaranies from the market
each time it considers necessary, either via the placement of Monetary Regulation
Drafts (Letras de Regulación Monetaria - LRM) or through the sale of Dollars. The
balance of LRM as of December 19 was of Gs. 5.1 trillion, and the average rate
paid was of 5.4%.
Recently, the BCP decided to raise its monetary policy rate from 5.5 to 6%, as it
considers that there are inflationary pressures that will occur during the first months
of 2014,such as adjustments in certain prices, and the eventual increase in the
exchange rate due to the reduction of monetary stimulus in the U.S. This measure
might not contribute a lot in terms of price control, as the pressure on the same
would be given from the side of offer, and not from demand.
FINANCIAL SECTOR
As of the end of October, deposits amounted to Gs. 54.4 trillion (some US$
12.1 billion), which exceeds by 18% the value of one year before in nominal terms,
and 13% in real terms. The balance of net credits in the financial system (banks
and finance companies) amounted to Gs. 47.4 trillion (some US$ 10.5 billion), or
17% higher than the value of one year before in nominal terms, and 12% in real
terms.
In terms of banking system indicators, the liquidity ratios presented increases
with respect to October 2012, increasing the relation between Availabilities and
Deposits, from 44% to 45%. The ratio between Availabilities and Liabilities grew
by 1%, reaching a level of 37%. The profitability rations presented positive results.
The relation between Earnings and Assets (ROA) for banks remained at 2.6, while
the ratio of Earnings versus Net Equity (ROE) reached 30%, an increase of 1.4%.
43
In terms of interest rates, in October 2013 the average of asset interest rates in
national currency at the banks was 21.9%, lower than the 22.8% recorded one
year before, but slightly higher than the 21.3% of December 2012. The average
of liabilities rates in Guaranies was 5.6%, below the 7.6 and 7.0% of October and
December of 2012 respectively. In terms of foreign currency rates, the average
of assets rates in October was 8.9%, below the 9.5% of October, and 9.3% of
December, 2012. In terms of liabilities rates, the average in Dollars had a reduction
of 0.5% inter annually, from 3.9 to 2.4% in one year.
44
The total average arrears in payment in the financial system has increased during
the first semester, but as of October, it was of 2.4% a similar figure with that of 2.5%
of one year earlier. In the case of finance companies, the figure was 4.8%, and for
banks 2.2%, both below the figures of one year earlier.
45
PERSPECTIVES FOR 2014
• The country´s perspectives for Agricultural production are good. In the case of
soybeans, the critical point will be the months of January, and February, when
adequate levels of humidity will be fundamental.
• The price of the oilseed will depend on the evolution of climate and the production
in the region.
• The global beef market would have an increasing international demand, above all
in emerging countries. In our country, the immediate goal would be to have access
to more competitive markets, that is, to export aiming at differentiated prices, more
than at export volumes.
• The increase in the production of beef expected for 2014 and the increase in
volumes exported at better prices, derived from the re-entry to better paying
markets, could result in export levels exceeding US$ 1.1 billion.
• In 2014, consumption would have a similar behavior with this year, as no important
changes are expected in the determining factors.
• Considering the above, it is estimated that in 2014 the GDP would grow at more
moderate rates, around 5.4% ± 2%.
• Larger pressure would occur on prices, but inflation would close the year within the
range as established by the Central Bank as target (5% ± 2.5%).
• It can be expected that exports will maintain good rhythm, given the good
Agriculturel season expected, and that remittances of beef to Chile will continue to
grow.
• Foreign exchange differences at the regional level would continue, the same as
uncertainty regarding the future of Argentina and the expansive measures in Brazil.
• The rate of exchange could have larger pressures upwards, above all during the
second semester. It is estimated that the year would close at 4,840 ± 200 Gs./US$.
• Larger public investments are expected in infrastructure, affecting the dynamics of
consumption. It is worth to remember that the US$ 500 million from the international
issuance of bonds of January 2013 have not yet been used.

DOCUMENTARY “ELIZA LYNCH – QUEEN OF PARAGUAY”
The debut in Paraguay, as well as the filming of the documentary film,
was sponsored by Sudameris Bank. The occasion was attended by
special guests at the Great Theater of the Banco Central, on April
10, 2013.
Directed by renowned Irish director and actor Alan Gilsenan, this
powerful documentary “Eliza Lynch – Queen of Paraguay” tells the
history of this epic catastrophe through the eyes of Eliza Lynch.
Filmed in various locations in Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, France,
England, and in the birthplace of Eliza, Ireland, during 2012, the
final scenes of “ELIZA LYNCH – Queen of Paraguay” were filmed in
February of 2013 with Maria Doyle Kennedy, methodically, and at
times disturbing, encompassing Eliza Lynch´s dynamic character.
Based on 18 years of original research through ten countries by
two Irish men, former diplomat Michael Lillis and historian Professor
Ronan Fanning (his book “The lives of Elisa Lynch or Calumnia
(Slander) in its Spanish version” is the basis for this documentary),
“ELIZA LYNCH – Queen of Paraguay’, reveals for the first time the
human trajectory of Eliza´s turbulent life.

Presentation of Results
59
Dear Shareholders,
The following is a summary of the administration and results of
Sudameris Bank in year 2013.
During 2013, our country experienced growth in its GDP of the order
of 13.6% according to preliminary data, leading growth in Latin
America, and reflecting Paraguay´s largest growth in the last ten
years. This development had Agriculture as its principal impulse,
which grew by 51.8%. Cattle ranching contributed with inter annual
growth of 8.0% as a result of high levels of kill and the recovery
of export quotas. The Construction sector also grew during the
two first quarters by over 10%, but had an important slowdown in
the third quarter. Among other sectors that exhibited good growth
during the second quarter are: Industry, and Services, in the last
case with highlight in financial services, commerce, transportation,
and communications.
It is also worth considering that the same year had other two
condiments opposed to growth, such as the fact of it being a
presidential election year, installing a certain degree of uncertainty
in terms of economic movement; and another one, very relevant,
would correspond to the retraction in consumption derived, on one
side, from the gap existing between the official and parallel Dollar in
Argentina, which gave impulse to the smuggling of products towards
our country, causing a negative impact in commerce at the local
level, and on the other side, the depreciation of the real, reducing
the level of purchases by Brazilians, principally in the border zone.
One other factor that contributed to the slowness in consumption is
the deceleration of credit, given the high level of indebtedness that
consumers are already experiencing
In visiting our principal numbers achieved in 2013, and in terms of
growth, the total of our Commercial Placements reached Gs. 2.9
billion, or 25% above the previous year. This percentage variation
was larger with respect of the growth of placements in the banking
system for the year, resulting in a larger market share, which
reached 6.18%. With these levels, and considering the number of
Placements, we remain as the sixth bank in the Paraguayan financial
system, shortening distances by 0.30 percentage points of market
share with the bank placed in the fifth position.

In addition to growth, it is worth to highlight that the year´s focus
was to emphasize in segmentation, as provided for in our strategic
plan, to aim towards a portfolio more oriented towards smaller size
Companies, and Persons, evidenced in the proportions of portfolio
by segment at the closing of the fiscal year.
In this sense, the focus on the Persons segment contributed,
specifically in those to whom our bank undertakes in salary
payments, and for which group an adequate program was that of
Agile Loans, quite accepted by clients, and which is reflected in the
growth levels (97%) during this year.

In terms of Deposits, we reached Gs. 3.0 billion, representing growth
of 24% versus 2012. This growth, slightly above the systems, resulted
in greater participation in the deposits market, and maintained us
as the seventh bank in the system, helping in reducing by 0.20
percentage points the distance with the bank immediately above us
in terms of market share.
Within the same line, we are proud to highlight the trust deposited
by our clients at the time of making long term deposits. Our levels
of deposits at term grew 37% in 2013, reflecting levels that went
from 44% in 2012 to 48% in 2013 (system average: 40%), taking
into account the proportion of deposits at term with respect with
total deposits. We consider that this situation places us in an
advantageous position with respect to competition that will allow us
to continue supporting current and future clients with longer term
financing, which are very appreciated in our environment.

Investments were not a stranger in 2013, since we must consider,
among others, the construction of an Ongoing Training Center, so
that employees at our bank who have higher technical, operational
and business expertise may constantly train lesser experienced
ones by means of courses and seminars scheduled in an annual
program; and also, the enlargement of our Villa Morra Branch, which
since the end of 2013 has a street-level plant with all necessary
conveniences for operations with our clients, while the higher floor,
already existing before, was adjusted so that it may be used for the
business area.
In that same order, we must mention the construction of the Client
Attention Center, that will allow our clients to deal in most of the
operations available in our branches, but with the added value of
doing so in extended hours, until 17:00, and even on Saturdays.
We are convinced that this will reinforce our ongoing commitment
to excellent service to our clients. In this respect, we anticipate
establishing strategic alliances with commercial firms that will allow
us to set more Attention Centers in strategic locations.
We must also mention that during 2013 a dream has come true:
that of processing a credit card application while the customer is
shopping.
63
And this was possible thanks to agreements with some Supermarkets
within whose premises we asked to place an attention center with
connection to the Bank, where two employees are in charge of
processing applications under certain prudent risk criteria in relation
to the lines granted, and when the client finishes his shopping, he
is delivered the plastic in order to be able to make payment with it.
All of these very positive initiatives, aimed at comfort and services,
on the other side, affected our efficiency index, which ended the
year at 66.6%, slightly above the level of 2012.
At the time of making comments regarding the 2013 earnings, it
is also worth considering the above mentioned investments and
that in 2013 we had a very competitive financial system regarding
prices and services, and which affected us more than other entities
as we have a corporate clients´ portfolio that is very attractive to the
competition.
In this respect, our Fiscal Year Earnings of Gs. 60.4 billion was
slightly lower than the one generated the year before, due to the
smaller financial margins, and that our growth took place principally
during the second semester.
64
Another important achievement of December, 2013, was the
issuance and placement of Subordinated Bonds amounting to USD
10 million, the first of two series which global value is of USD 20
million. The buyer of the full issuance was Dutch multilateral FMO,
a fact that filled us with satisfaction due to the fact that a company
that represents a foreign government deposits its trust in our Bank.
With this bond issuance, our Bank has more resources and greater
capability to grow on the current client base, besides the possibility
of reaching new market segments that imply greater capital input.
Before culminating this summary, we may say that during a year of
growth, but with lots of competition, our Bank achieved larger market
shares both in placements, and in deposits, we continue with our
strategy to build a Bank of more Persons and Companies, we were
entrepreneurs with clear demonstrations of better services for our
clients, obtained more resources in order to continue growing, and
even if we did not obtain a yield larger than the one of a year before,
we are certain that what was done in 2013 will generate greater
benefits and indicators since the first month of 2014.
Finally, my gratitude to the Board of Directors and Shareholders
for the trust deposited in me to collaborate from the General
Management to take Sudameris Bank to positions of more relevance,
better efficiencies, and larger benefits.

Opinion of the External Auditors
Messrs.
President, and Members of the Board of Directors
Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A.
1.We have audited the accompanying accounting statements of Sudameris Bank
S.A.E.C.A., comprising the Equity Situation Statement as of December 31, 2013 and
2012, and the corresponding Statements of Results, Cash Flow Statements, and
Statements of the Evolution of Net Equity, for the fiscal years ended on those dates, as
well as a summary of the important control policies and other clarifying notes attached
thereto.
Management´s responsibility for the accounting statements
2.The Bank´s management is responsible for the preparation and reasonable presentation
of the accounting statements in accordance with the norms, regulations and accounting
instructions of the Banco Central del Paraguay. This responsibility includes: the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and
reasonable presentation of the accounting statements so that these are free from
misrepresentations of relative importance, either due to fraud or error, selecting and
applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are
reasonable under the circunstantes.
Responsibility of the Auditor
3.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accounting statements based on our
audits. We perform our audit in accordance with the standards for independent audit
established in the “Manual of Norms and Regulations for the Independent Audit of Financial
Entities”, approved by the Superintendence of Banks as per Resolution No. SB.SG.
313/01 of 30.11.01, and with generally accepted audit norms in Paraguay. These norms
require that we comply with certain ethical principles and plan and perform the audit in
order to acquire reasonable assurance regarding whether the accounting statements are
free from misrepresentations of relative importance.
An audit implies to undertake procedures in order to obtain audit evidences on the amounts
and disclosures in the accounting statements. The procedures selected depend on the
auditor´s judgment, including the evaluation of the risks of misrepresentation of relative
importance of the financial statements, either due to fraud or error. In making these risk
evaluations, the auditor considers the internal control in force relevant to the preparation
and reasonable presentation of the financial statements by the Entity, in order to design
the audit procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not in order to
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Entity´s internal control.
II
An audit also includes evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used and
the reasonability of the accounting estimates made by the administration, as well as to
evaluate the general presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the evidence
we have obtained are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
4.In our opinion, the accounting statements mentioned under the first paragraph reasonably
present, with respect to all that is important, the patrimonial and financiall situation
of Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A., as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the results of
operations and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, in accordance with
norms, regulations and accounting instructions from the Banco Central del Paraguay, and
in those aspects not regulated by them, with Generally Accepted Accounting Norms in
Paraguay, as exposed in Note B.2 to the accounting statements.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
5.In compliance with what is prescribed in Resolution of the Under Secretary of State for
Taxation (SET) No. 20 and its updates regulating Article No. 33 of Law 2421/04 and within
the framework of our audit examination to the accounting statements of Sudameris Bank

A. CONSIDERATION BY THE SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
The financial statements of Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A. (hereinafter “the Entity”)
as of December 31, 2013 will be considered by the Ordinary General Shareholders
Meeting to take place during year 2014, within the term as prescribed by Article
28 of the Corporate Bylaws, in accordance with Article 1079 of the Paraguayan
Civil Code.
The financial statements as of December 31, 2012 were approved by the
Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting of March 19, 2013.
B. BASIC INFORMATION ON THE ENTITY
b.1 Juridical nature
Sudameris Bank is a Sociedad Anónima Emisora de Capital Abierto (Corporation
by Shares, issuer in the Open capitals market), which majority shareholder is
Abbeyfield Financial Holdings, domiciled in Ireland. The Entity was constituted on
June 30, 1958 with Legal Person status recognized by Decree of the Executive
Branch No. 510 dated September 29, 1958 and registered before the Public
Registry of Commerce under No. 197 on August 13, 1959.
On December 15, 2005 the Entity´s shareholders, in Extraordinary General
Shareholders Meeting, approved the change of denomination from “Banco
Sudameris Paraguay S.A.E.C.A.” to “Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A”, registered
before the Public Registry of Commerce under No. 304 on March 14, 2006.
b.2 Basis for the preparation of the financial statements
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with the norms,
regulations and accounting instructions prescribed by the Central Bank of
Paraguay (Banco Central del Paraguay - BCP) and in accordance with Norms
on Financial Information issued by the Paraguayan Council of Accountants
(Consejo de Contadores Públicos del Paraguay).
The balances included in the financial statements have been prepared on the
basis of historical cost, except for the case of accounts in foreign currency and
usable assets, as explained in paragraphs c.1 and c.8 of Note C, and do not
comprehensively recognize the effects of inflation in the Bank´s equity situation
or in the results of its operations, given that comprehensive monetary correction
does not constitute a generally accepted accounting practice in Paraguay.
According to the General Consumer Price Index (IPC) published by the Banco
Central del Paraguay, inflation of years 2013 and 2012 was of 3.75 % and
3.98%, respectively.
XIV
(i) Relevant Accounting Policies:
In addition to what is indicated in other notes to the financial statements, we
mention the following relevant accounting practices:
•
Available: valued at its nominal value in Guaraníes, net of the previsions
prescribed by the BCP, according to the applicable norm in force for
aging reconcilement items.
•
Cash and Cash Equivalents: for the purpose of the cash flow statement,
cash and cash equivalents comprise available cash and the deposits
at the Banco Central del Paraguay and in other financial institutions.
(ii) Estimates:
The preparation of these financial statements requires that the Entity´s Board of
Directors and Management perform certain estimates and assumptions affecting
the balances of assets and liabilities, the exposition of contingencies, and the
recognition of income and expenses. Assets and Liabilities are recognized in the
financial statements when it is probable that future benefits will flow into or from
the Entity, and that the different items have a cost or value that may be confidently
measured. If in the future these estimates and assumptions which are based on
the best management criteria as of the date of these financial statements should
be modified with respect to the present circumstances, the original estimates
and assumptions will be adequately modified on the date when such changes
occur. The principal estimates related with the financial statements refer to
the previsions on assets and credit risks of doubtful collection, depreciation of
usable assets, amortization of deferred charges, and previsions to cover other
contingencies.
(iii) Comparative Information:
The financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and the complementary
information related therewith are presented comparatively with the corresponding
statements and complementary information of fiscal year ended on December
31, 2012.

2. Unrealized earnings from valuation or exchange differences on
balances pending collection expressed in foreign currency, which will
be recognized as income upon collection.

Banco Central del Paraguay No. 1, Minutes 60 dated September 28, 2007.
Periodically, the entity´s management undertakes, by function of the norms
for valuation prescribed by the Superintendence of Banks, Banco Central del
Paraguay and with the entity´s own criteria and policies, reviews and analysis
of the credit portfolio, in order to adjust previsions for doubtful collection

losses on direct and contingent risks, according with the criterion of the Entity´s
management and with what is prescribed in Resolution No. 1, Minutes 60 dated
September 28, 2007.

c. 8 Usable assets
The original values of usable assets and their accrued depreciations existing as of
the beginning of the fiscal year are revalued until December 31, 2013 and 2012,
according with what is prescribed in Law 125/91, considering the coefficients
provided to the effect by the Under Secretary of State for Taxation, according to
Updating Resolution No. 02/2013; Resolution No. 87/2012 for fiscal year 2012. The
net increase of the revaluation reserve is exhibited in the account “Adjustments to
Equity” of the entity´s Net Equity.
The cost of improvements extending the useful life of assets, or increasing their
productive capacity, is input to the respective asset accounts. Assents under
construction are valued at cost. Maintenance expenses are charged to results.
Depreciation of usable assets is calculated by the straight line method, as from the
year following their incorporation, applying annual rates prescribed in the regulations
of Law 125/91, which result sufficient to extinguish their values upon their estimated
useful life. The residual value of revalued assets considered as a whole does not
exceed their recoverable value as of the end of the fiscal year.
According to banking legislation, financial entities operating in Paraguay are
forbidden from giving in guarantee their usable assets, except those affected in
security of financial leasing operations, and to the Banco Central del Paraguay (Art.
70 paragraph b. of law 861/96). The banking legislation establishes a ceiling for
investment in usable assets, which is 50% of the financial entity´s effective equity.
The book balance of the Entity´s usable assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012
is within the limit as prescribed.
The following exhibits the composition of the balances of usable assets as of
December 31, 2013 and 2012:

381.535.014.216 and Gs. 305.246.670.494 respectively. This amount of effective
equity, used for the determination of certain limits and operational restrictions

As of December 31, 2013 the Entity maintains the ratio at 14,85% (14,32% as

than twenty percent (20%) of the net earnings of each
fiscal year.
Article 28 of the mentioned law prescribes that the legal
reserve resources will be automatically applied to the cover
of losses registered in the financial year. In the next fiscal
years, the total of earnings must be applied to the legal
reserve until the same again reaches its minimum, or the
highest amount reached in the process of its constitution.
The amount of the legal reserve may be increased with
cash money contributions at any time.
b) Distribution of Earnings: In accordance with what is
prescribed in Law 861/96 “General law on Banks, Finance
Companies and Other Credit Entities”, those entities
authorized to operate according with this Law, national
or foreign, may distribute their earnings with the prior
approval of their respective annual financial statements
audited by the Superintendence of Banks, provided the

f. 4 Income Tax
Current:
The income tax charged to the fiscal year´s result at the rate of 10% is based on
the book earnings before the concept, adjusted of the items that the law and its
regulations include or exclude for the determination of the net taxable earnings.
According to the prescriptions of Law 125/91, modified by Law 2421/04,
distribution of earnings in cash is taxed at the rate of 5%.
The charge to results under the concept of income tax as of December 31, 2013
amounts to Gs. 4.268.085.377 (Gs.4.538.958.620 as of December 31, 2012).
This amount does not include the provision of the additional 5% corresponding
to distribution of earnings mentioned in the previous paragraph, as the entity
records this additional tax charge in the fiscal year when the Shareholders
Meeting decides on the distribution
Deferred:
The accounting registration of income tax by the deferred method is not
anticipated in the norms issued by the BCP. The entity determines the income tax
applying the current rate on the estimated taxable earnings, without considering
the effect of temporary differences between the accounting results and the
taxable result. The board of directors estimates that as of December 31, 2013
and 2012, the effect of deferred assets/liabilities generated by the Entity is not
significant to the financial statements considered as a whole.
f. 5 Fiduciary Activities
The entity does not have a fiduciary department to act as a trust bank.
f. 6 Contributions to the Deposits Guarantee Fund
(Fondo de garantía de Depósitos - FGD)
By virtue of what is prescribed in Law No. 2.334 of December 12, 2003, which
among other things creates a new legal guarantee regime of Deposits in the
national financial system that will have as its object the partial protection of the
savings from the public in the private financial entities authorized to operate by
the BCP up to the equivalent of 75 minimum salaries per depositor, as from the
third quarter of year 2004, financial entities contribute quarterly and mandatorily
to the Deposits Guarantee Fund created by said Law, and administered by
the BCP, 0.12% of the average quarterly balances of their Deposits portfolio
in national and foreign currency. The amount contributed by the Entity to the
Deposits Guarantee Fund in years 2013 and 2012, constituting an irrecoverable
expense, amounts to Gs. 12.979.704.226 and Gs. 11.254.424.701 respectively.
