Experience Spanish banks have changed their exposition towards Latin America Solvency Competition Non-economic factors In the Spanish financial system there is a strong competition. Pressure on margins enhances the seeking of more profitable businesses. Sharing the same culture and language helps the know-how to be transferred easier and allows the implementation of technological common platforms. 19 INDEX 1) Spanish banks lead foreign banking in Latin America 2) Why to invest in Latin America?

EFFECTS IN EFFICIENCY: MORE BANK COMPETITION AND LOWER COST OF CREDIT Banking Spreads 16 14 12 2000 2005 10 8 6 4 2 0 Peru Colombia México Venezuela Chile Argentina BANKING SPREAD: Interest rate spread is the interest rate charged by banks on loans to prime customers minus the interest rate paid by commercial or similar banks for demand, time, or savings deposits. The lower interest rates and greater banking competition are causing a reduction of banking spreads that have been particularly intense in countries like Mexico where the presence of foreign banks is very important. 22 1.

Default rates in Latin America have fallen since 2002, and are currently lower than in emerging Asia. 25 2.
