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. Conor McEnroy Presidente 6 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. 9 10 11 Board of Director GUSTAVO CARTES CONOR McENROY President Ex Swiss Bank Corporation, ABN AMRO SEBASTIEN LAHAIE Director MD Abbeyfield Group, Ex ABN AMRO and HSBC ALBERTO EGUIGUREN GARRET KENNEDY Director Financial Director Abbeyfield Group 32 years of experience Ex AIB Bank plc Ireland and United Kingdom LUIS DURAN DOWNING Director Attorney at Law, partner at law firm Honorato, Russi & Asociados Director, D&S S.A. and Liberty Seguros Director Economist.

The President of the Board of Directors 15 16Branch Itauguá Paraguay Economic Environment 17 18 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. .

Source: Prepared by Investor Economía based on data from CAPECO - INBIO 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%. 35 Execution – Central Administration Concept (Millions of Gs) Jan - Oct 2012 Var. % in execution Jan - Oct 2013 8.084.768 9.074.313 12,24% Non Personal Services 676.859 599.821 -11,38% Consumer goods 856.069 732.928 -14,38% Physical Investment 1.093.769 1.362.674 24,59% Service of the Public Debt 1.257.537 1.157.215 -7,98% Transfers 5.149.337 5.542.154 7,63% Others 99.236 89.983 -9,32% TOTAL 17.217.575 18.559.088 7,79% Personal Services Source: Elaborated by Investor Economía based on data from MH 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$S -1.4 billion. It is worth to mention that Paraguay has improved its position versus all of its trading partners, except for Brazil. Jan - Nov 2009 Jan - Nov 2010 Jan - Nov 2011 Jan - Nov 2012 Jan - Nov 2013 Var % 2013 /12 Exports 4.734 5.995 7.272 6.762 8.894 31,5% Imports 5.829 8.424 10.626 9.805 10.350 5,6% Trade Balance -1.095 -2.429 -3.354 -3.043 -1.456 -52,2% Concept (millions of US$) Source: Elaborated by Investor Economía based on data from BCP 37 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. 46 47 48 2013 Face to Community 49 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. 50 ONE TREE, ONE LIFE Sponsorship of public space “Sports Complex Arsenio Erico”. Committed to social and environmental responsibility in our country, and in support to project “Asuncion, Green Capital” of the Municipality of Asuncion, the Bank executed a sponsorship agreement with the Municipality, which mission is the arborization and maintenance of four modules at the central area when the “Sports Complex Arsenio Erico” is located, on Avenida Ita Ybaté (21 Proyectadas). Voluntary employees form the bank, together with neighbors and neighborhood commissions, undertook the planting of 80 “lapacho” trees through a length of one km around the bicycle paths in all four modules. 51 DAY OF THE CHILD, AT SCHOOL “JOSE MARIA VELAZ” For the fourth consecutive year, the bank celebrated Child´s day at the school “Escuela Jose Maria Velaz, of the “Fe y Alegria” (Faith and Happyness) association. In this opportunity, some 400 from Preschool until 6th grade had fun with a varied show with Clowns, painted faces, and elastic bed, and a snack in celebration of their day. FE Y ALEGRÍA In 2013, the same as in previous years, Sudameris Bank gave support to the sale of raffles of the Faith and Happyness Association, distributing them at all of its branches to its officers and clients, thus achieving larger reach in the country-level campaign. 52 PARAGUAY READS – BOOKS DONATION Within the framework of social commitment and support to education, the bank, in an agreement with the “Paraguay Reads” program of the Fundación El Lector, donated 8,568 books to 36 educational institutions of scarce resources, 15 of which belong to the Asociación Fe y Alegría. 53 “DRAW A TREE” CAMPAIGN For the fourth consecutive year, Sudameris Bank and the “Fundación A Todo Pulmón Paraguay respira” organized the contest “Draw a Tree”, seeking to create awareness from childhood regarding the importance of forests and the preservation of natural resources, addressed to boys and girls aged from 7 to 13. The campaign achieved the participation of an average of 2500 drawings form boys and girls thorough the national territory, who sent their drawings to the contest for a price consisting of a full paid trip to London, with his or her father and mother. 54 CHRISTMAS BY YOUR SIDE As a tradition already, and transmitting the Christmas spirit, Sudameris Bank gifted the citizenry with an emblematic Christmas tree located at the “Plaza de la Democracia” in the city of Asuncion, which is sponsored by the bank. Sponsorship has as its object the revitalization and equipment of the “Plaza de la Democracia” (Democracy Square), for the enhancement of environmental conditions and esthetics of the place in order to improve its functionality. 55 56 Prevention of Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism The Directors, Managers and Employees of Sudameris Bank are committed to the combat against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, and they focus their prevention practices and policies in that direction, as applied to the banks’ actions. In this context, Sudameris Bank has adequate preventive and technological tools for the application of the norms in force and associated healthy banking practices. The norm is their updating and ongoing review in order to ensure, both to the institution and its clients, as to operations framed in ethical and professional commitments related with the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism. The Bank´s Management, through its Compliance Unit, offers its employees the necessary guides and tools for the handling of all of the bank´s operations in order to comply with national requirements, all of this accompanied by an intensive training and updating plan both at the local and international levels. Compliance Unit Sudameris Bank S.A.E.C.A. 57 Branch Encarnación 58 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. 60 Gustavo Cartes Vice President General Manager Branch Luque 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. 61 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. 62 Sucursal Santa Rita 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. 65 66 Centro de Atención al Cliente 67 68 as of December 31 EY Building a Better Working World Ernst & Young – Paraguay Auditors & Business Consultants Av. Mcal. Lopez 3794, Edif. Citicenter, 6th floor Asuncion – Paraguay Tel. +595 21 664 308 Fax +595 21 608985 ey.com 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.

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. XV b.3 Branches abroad As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Entity did not have branches abroad. b. 4 Participation in other corporations The Entity has, as of December 31, 2013, a participation of 6.66% in the corporate capital and votes of related corporation Bancard S.A.

This amount of effective equity, used for the determination of certain limits and operational restrictions imposed to financial entities operating in Paraguay by the Superintendence of Banks, Banco Central del Paraguay, must a no time be lower than 10% of risk weighted assets and contingencies of the financial entities (solvency margin). The Banco Central del Paraguay may increase this rate up to 12% (twelve per cent).

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 same pronounces itself within the term of one hundred twenty days from the closing of the fiscal year.
