This year’s Top 100 Central American banks ranking sees little movement among the top lenders in the region. Most of the top institutions come from Panama, the undisputed financial centre of the region that is home to 52.36% of total banking assets in the ranking and many of the best performing banks.
The Colombian-owned institutions maintain their dominance in the Panamanian market, with BAC Panama topping the ranking, while two other Colombian operations, Bancolombia Panama and Banistmo, retain their respective positions of third and sixth.
