NOTE 1. REPORTING ENTITY
Bancolombia S.A., hereinafter the Parent Company, is a credit establishment, listed on the Colombia Stock Exchange (BVC) as well as on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), since 1981 and 1995, respectively. The Parent Company's main location is in Medellin (Colombia), main address Carrera 48 # 26-85, Avenida Los Industriales, and was originally constituted under the name Banco Industrial Colombiano (BIC) according to public deed number 388, date January 24, 1945, from the First Notary's Office of Medellin, authorized by the Superintendence of Finance of Colombia (“SFC”). On April 3, 1998, by means of public deed No. 633, BIC merged with Bank of Colombia S.A., and the resulting organization of that merger was named Bancolombia S.A.
The operating license was authorized definitively by the SFC according to Resolution number 3140 on September 24, 1993. The duration of the company was extended until December 8, 2144. The company may be dissolved or extended before said term.
At the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on June 26, 2024, a bylaws amendment was approved, which is in the process of being formalized in a public deed and registered with the Chamber of Commerce.
Bancolombia S.A.’s business purpose is to carry out all operations, transactions, acts and services inherent to the banking business. The Parent Company may, by itself or through its subsidiaries, own interests in other corporations, wherever authorized by law, according to all terms and requirements, limits or conditions established therein.
The Parent Company and its subsidiaries include the following operating segments: Banking Colombia, Banking Panama, Banking El Salvador, Banking Guatemala, Trust, Investment banking, Brokerage, International Banking and Others. The activities carried out by each operating segment of Group Bancolombia are described in Note 3. Operating segments.
The Parent Company, through its subsidiaries, has banking operations and an international presence in United States, Puerto Rico, Panama, Guatemala, and El Salvador.
The assets and liabilities of operations in Barbados through Mercom Bank were transferred to other companies, leaving the balances of the credit portfolio and deposit portfolio at zero. As of June, 30, 2024, the company is in the process of dissolution and liquidation.
Operations in the Cayman Islands through Sinesa Cayman, Inc. (before Bancolombia Cayman) have been canceled or transferred. On November 22, 2023, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority approved the delivery of the banking license in accordance with Section 20(1)(a) of the Banking and Trust Companies Act (2021 Revision) (the “BTCA”). Therefore, the banking license has been canceled as of that date. As it is no longer a banking entity, on June 20, 2024, the name was changed to SINESA Cayman, Inc., the company is currently in the process of dissolution and liquidation in the Cayman Islands Companies Registry.
The operations of Transportempo S.A.S. are in the process of dissolution and gradual dismantling since May 2023.
On December 14, 2021, the Parent Company´s Board of Directors authorized the legal separation of the Nequi business, the digital platform of Group Bancolombia. The Financial Superintendence of Colombia (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) through Resolution 0843 of July 6, 2022, later modified by the Resolution 0955 of July 27, 2022, authorized the establishment of Nequi S.A. Compañía de Financiamiento. The legal separation resulted in the creation and commercial registration of a new corporation through which Nequi will operate as a 100% digital credit establishment. Nequi must obtain an authorization certificate or operating permit, accredited by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia in order to operate. As of June, 30, 2024, activities for this process are in progress. In September 2022, the company Nequi S.A. was created with a capitalization of COP 150,000 distributed mainly in Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. Corporación Financiera with a participation percentage of 94.99% and Inversiones CFNS S.A.S. of 5.01%.
As of June 30, 2024, Group Bancolombia has 33,887 employees, 34,658 banking correspondents, 6,101 ATMs and operates through 851 offices.
NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. | Basis for preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements |
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the cumulative six months ended on June 30, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereinafter, IASB). They do not include all the information and disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2023 which complied with International Financial Reporting Standards (hereinafter, IFRS) issued by the IASB, as well as the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (hereinafter, IFRS-IC). The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 have not been audited.
Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements under going concern basis
Management has assessed the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and confirms that the Group Bancolombia has adequate liquidity and solvency to continue operating the business for the foreseeable future, which is at least, but is not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Based on the Group's liquidity position at the date of authorization of the Condensed Consolidated Interim
Financial Statements, Management maintains a reasonable expectation that it has adequate liquidity and solvency to continue in operation for at least the next 12 months and that the going concern basis of accounting remains appropriate.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to the reported carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities and expenses that might otherwise be required if the going concern basis were not correct.
In the Management opinion, these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements reflect all material adjustments considered necessary in the circumstances and based on the best information available as of June 30, 2024 and the date of their promulgation and issuance, for a fair representation of financial results for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the cumulative six months ended on June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Group Bancolombia believes that the disclosures are sufficient to make the information presented not misleading or biased. For this reason, the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include selected explanatory notes to explain events and transactions that are important to the financial statements users or represent significant materiality in understanding the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual audited financial statements.
Assets and liabilities are measured at cost or amortized cost, except for some financial assets and liabilities and investment properties that are measured at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value comprise those classified as assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, debt instruments and equity securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and derivative instruments. Likewise, the carrying value of assets and liabilities recognized as a fair value hedge are adjusted for changes in fair value attributable to the hedged risk. Almost, investments in associates and joint ventures are measured using the equity method.
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are stated in Colombian pesos (“COP”) and figures are stated in millions or billions (when indicated), except earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, dividends per share and the exchange rate, which are stated in units of Colombian pesos, while other currencies (dollars, euro, pounds, etc.) are stated in thousands.
The Parent Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with “Normas de Contabilidad e Información Financiera” (“NCIF”) applicable to separate financial statements, are those that serve as the basis for the regulatory compliance, distribution of dividends and other appropriations by the shareholders.
The separate financial statements are those presented by the Parent Company in which the entity recognizes and measures the impairment of credit risk through allowances for loans losses, the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments (such as debt securities and equity instruments) and the recognition of provisions for foreclosed assets, in accordance with the accounting required by the “Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia” (“SFC”), which differ in certain accounting principles from IFRS that are used in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
B. | Use of estimates and judgments |
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements requires that the Group's Management makes judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
For the period ended on June 30, 2024 there were no changes in the significant estimates and judgments made by Management in applying the Group's accounting, as compared to those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the year ended on December 31, 2023.
C. | Material accounting policies and recently issued accounting pronouncements |
The same accounting policies and methods of calculation applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended on December 31, 2023 continue to be applied in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, except for the adoption of new standards, improvements and interpretations effective from January 1, 2024, as shown below:
Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to clarify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. More specifically:
- The amendments specify that the conditions which exist at the end of the reporting period of an obligation are those which will be used to determine if a right to defer settlement of a liability exists.
- Management expectations about events after the balance sheet date, for example on whether a covenant will be breached, or whether early settlement will take place, are not relevant.
- The amendments clarify the situations that are considered settlement of a liability.
Additionally, on October 30, 2022, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 to improve the disclosures an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months is subject to compliance with covenants, and how this impacts the classification of that liability as current or non-current.
The amendments to IAS 1 are required to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, which is consistent with the application period in Colombia, in accordance with Decreto 938 of August 2021, which includes the update of January 23, 2020. The amendments must be applied retrospectively, in accordance with IAS 8. Early application is permitted.
Management concluded that this amendment has no impact on the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, because the Group Bancolombia presents the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position ordered by liquidity, according to the business nature.
a) | Recently accounting pronouncements issued by IASB pending to incorporate in NCIF framework accepted in Colombia |
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases - Lease liability in a sale and leaseback: In September 2022, the Board amended IFRS 16 to add subsequent measurement requirements for sale and leaseback transactions that meet the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted as a sale. The amendments require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a subsequent lease such that it does not recognize any amount of gain or loss that relates to the right-of-use that it retains.
This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is permitted.
This amendment has been assessed by Management with no evidence of an impact on the Group's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and disclosures, due the new requirements are in line with what the Group Bancolombia has applied and disclosed.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 7 Financial instruments: disclosures - Classification and measurement of financial instruments: In May 2024, the Board issued amendments to the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9. These amendments respond to feedback from post-implementation review of the accounting standard and clarify the requirements in areas where stakeholders have raised concerns, or where new issues have emerged since IFRS 9 was issued.
These amendments include:
- | Clarifying the classification of financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features: ESG-linked features in loans could affect whether the loans are measured at amortised cost or fair value. To resolve any potential diversity in practice, the amendments clarify how the contractual cash flows on such loans should be assessed. |
- | Settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems: The amendments clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognised. The IASB also decided to develop an accounting policy option to allow a company to derecognise a financial liability before it delivers cash on the settlement date if specified criteria are met. |
With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency for investors regarding investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features, for example features tied to ESG-linked targets.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and early application is permitted.
Management is assessing the impact that these amendments will have on the Group's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and disclosures.
New standard NIIF 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: In April 2024, the Board issued IFRS 18 to replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces three sets of new requirements to improve the way companies report their financial performance and give investors a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies:
- | Improved comparability in the statement of income: IFRS 18 introduces three defined categories for income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) to improve the structure of the statement of income, and requires all companies to provide new defined subtotals, including operating profit. |
- | Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures: The new standard requires companies to disclose explanations of those company-specific measures that are related to the statement of income, referred to as management-defined performance measures. |
- | More useful grouping of information in the financial statements: IFRS 18 sets out enhanced guidance on how to organize information and whether to provide it in the primary financial statements or in the notes. In addition, the new standard requires companies to provide more transparency about operating expenses, helping investors to find and understand the information they need. |
IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and early application is permitted.
Management is assessing the impact that these amendments will have on the Group's Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and disclosures.

5.2 Derivative financial instruments
Group Bancolombia derivative activities do not give rise to significant open positions in portfolios of derivatives.

A swap agreement is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. Financial futures and forward settlement contracts are agreements to buy or sell a quantity of a financial instrument (including another derivative financial instrument), index, currency or commodity at a predetermined rate or price during a period or at a date in the future. Futures and option contracts are standardized agreements for future delivery, traded on exchanges that typically act as a platform.

Measurement of effectiveness and ineffectiveness
A hedge is considered effective if, at the beginning of the period and subsequent periods, changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedge risk during the period for which the hedge has been designated.
The Bank has documented the effectiveness tests of the hedge. The hedge is considered effective, since the critical terms and risks of the obligations that serve as a hedging instrument are identical to those of the primary hedged position. Hedged effectiveness is measured on a before income tax.
Gains or losses on the conversion of Banistmo’s financial statements are recognized in Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income. Consequently, the exchange difference related to the conversion of debt securities issued and financing with Correspondent banks is recognized directly in OCI, as a result of the variation of the peso against the dollar, the adjustment recognized in Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Comprehensive Income amounted to COP (452,000), COP 1,303,197, for the six months period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Impact of movements in the value of the portfolio and loss allowance by Stage
Variation June 2024 vs December 2023
Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 1 increased by COP 12,137,444 and the loss allowance decreased by COP 469,374. The increase in the portfolio in this Stage is mainly due to a better dynamic of disbursements to the corporate portfolio and the restatement of the dollar loans into Colombian Pesos due to a higher exchange rate. The decrease in the loss allowance is due to the macroeconomic impact on the PD (probability of default) models, which have a more favorable economic outlook, where a downward trend in interest rates in Colombia is observed, which positively affects the portfolios of individuals.
Stage 2 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 2 increased by COP 801,906 and the loss allowance increased by COP 110,955. The increase in exposure is mainly due to clients who exit default (Stage 3) and remain in Stage 2 for a period of one year. Additionally, there is an observed increase in deterioration within the corporate portfolio, which aligns with expectations. The increase in the loss allowance is in accordance with the influx of these clients.
Stage 3 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 3 increased by COP 1,217,685 and the loss allowance increased by COP 816,151. The variation in exposure and loss allowance in this stage is mainly due to SME portfolio clients reaching a delinquency height of more than 90 days, and clients who increase their risk level in the SME and business segments, and in the corporate sectors: commercial, real estate, and construction.
Variation December 2023 vs December 2022
Stage 1 (12-month expected credit losses)
Stage 1 exposure decreased by COP 14,397,167 and the loss allowance increased by COP 820,111. The decrease in the portfolio at this stage is mainly due to the restatement of the dollar loans into colombian pesos due to a lower in the market representative rate and a slow disbursement dynamic of the consumer portfolio compared to the previous period. The increase in the loss allowance is due to the impact of a less favorable economic outlook, where there is lower economic growth and a high trend of interest rates throughout the year.
Stage 2 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 2 decreased by COP 2,613,778 and the loss allowance decreased by COP 608,427. The decrease in exposure is due to the migration of loans with delinquency over 90 days to Stage 3, and the level of new overdue portfolio being lower than the previous period. The decrease of loss allowance is in accordance with the decrease in exposure.
Stage 3 (Lifetime expected credit losses)
The exposure in Stage 3 increased by COP 1,038,853, and the loss allowance increased by COP 531,779. The variation in exposure and loss allowance in this Stage is mainly due to clients of the consumer portfolio reaching a delinquency height over 90 days and the impairment of significant clients from the construction sector.
The following explains the significant changes in the loans and the allowance for loan losses by category during the periods ended on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as a result of applying the expected credit loss model according to IFRS 9:

10.6 Tax credits
For the period 2024, a deferred tax asset was recognized since the Group companies will have future taxable profits in which they can charge this temporary difference.
The following is the detail of the fiscal losses and presumptive income excesses over net income in the Group's entities, which have not been used, as of June 30, 2024.

Wompi S.A.S | 14,142 | 4,950 |
Total | 190,300 | 65,542 |
10.7 | Dividends |
10.7.1 | Dividend Payment |
If the parent company or any of its subsidiaries were to distribute dividends, they would be subject to the tax regulations of each of the countries in which they are decreed and distributed. In the case of Colombian companies, dividends will be subject to the application of Articles 48 and 49 of the Tax Statute and consequently will be subject to withholding at source at the established rates, in accordance with the tax characteristics of each shareholder.
10.7.2 | Dividends received from Subsidiary Companies |
Considering the historical tax status of the dividends received by the Bank from its affiliates and national subsidiaries, it is expected that in the future dividends will be received on the basis of non-income tax. They will not be subject to withholding tax, considering that the Bank, its affiliates, and national subsidiaries belong to the same business group.
10.8 | Tax contingent liabilities and assets |
In the determination of the effective current and deferred taxes subject to review by the tax authority, the relevant regulations have been applied in accordance with the interpretations made by the Group Bancolombia.
In Colombia due to the complexity of the tax system, ongoing amendments to the tax regulations, accounting changes with implications on tax bases and in general the legal instability of the country, the tax authority may at any time have different criteria than that of the Group Bancolombia. Consequently, a dispute or inspection by the tax authority on a tax treatment may affect the Group Bancolombia accounting of assets or liabilities for deferred or current taxes, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 12. However, based on the criteria established in the interpretation of IFRIC 23, the Group Bancolombia did not recognize uncertain tax positions in its financial statements.

For the determination of the transaction price, the Bank assigns to each one of the services the amount which represents the value expected to be received as consideration for each independent commitment, which is based on the relative price of independent sale. The price that the Bank determines for each performance obligation is done by defining the cost of each service, related tax and associated risks to the operation and inherent to the transaction plus the margin expected to be received in each one of the services, taking as references the market prices and conditions, as well as the segmentation of the customer.
In the transactions evaluated in the contracts, changes in the price of the transaction are not identified.
Contract assets with customers
The Bank receives payments from customers based on the provision of the service, in accordance to that established in the contracts. When the Bank incurs costs for providing the service prior to the invoicing, and if these are directly related with a contract, they improve
the resources of the entity and are expected to recuperate, these costs correspond to a contract asset. Currently, the Group does not have assets related to contracts with customers.
As a practical expedient, the Bank recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when the amortization period of the asset is one year or less.
Contract liabilities with customers
The contract liabilities constitute the obligation of the Bank to transfer the services to a customer, for which the Group has received a payment on the part of the final customer or if the amount is due before the execution of the contract. They also include deferred income related to services that shall be delivered or provided in the future, which will be invoiced to the customer in advance, but which are still not due.

The remaining income is allocated according to the participation of each class of stock as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. EPS is determined by dividing the total earnings allocated to each security by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the average number of common and preferred shares outstanding to simulate the conversion of all dilutive potential common shares. The Bank had no dilutive potential common shares as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable, that reflects the significance of inputs adopted in the measurement process. In accordance with IFRS the financial instruments are classified as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability being measured take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 generally includes: (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain retained residual interests in securitizations, asset-backed securities (ABS) and highly structured or long-term derivative contracts where independent pricing information was not able to be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.
Valuation process for fair value measurements
The valuation to fair value prices is performed using prices, methodologies and inputs provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia - Proveedor de Precios para Valoración S.A.) to the Bank.
All methodologies and procedures developed by the pricing services provider are supervised by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, which has not objected to them.
On a daily basis, the back-office Service Valuation Officer (SVO) verifies the valuation of investments, and the Credit and Financial Risk Manager area reports the results of the portfolio’s valuation.
Fair value measurement
Assets and liabilities
a. Debt instruments
The Bank assigns prices to those debt investments, using the prices provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia) and assigns the appropriate level according to the procedure described above. For securities not traded or over-the-counter such as certain bonds issued by other financial institutions, the Bank generally determines fair value utilizing internal valuation and standard techniques. These techniques include determination of expected future cash flows which are discounted using curves of the applicable currencies and the Colombian consumer price index (interest rate in this case), modified by the credit risk and liquidity risk. The interest rate is generally computed using observable market data and reference yield curves derived from quoted interest in appropriate time bandings, which match the timings of the cash flows and maturities of the instruments.
b. Equity securities and other financial instruments
The Bank performs the market price valuation of its investments in variable income using the prices provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia) and classifies those investments according to the procedure described above (Hierarchy of fair value section). Likewise, the fair value of unlisted equity securities and other financial instruments is based on an assessment of each individual investment using methodologies that include publicly-traded comparables derived by multiplying a key performance metric (e.g., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of the portfolio company by the relevant valuation multiple observed for comparable companies, acquisition comparables, and if necessary considered, are subject to appropriate discounts for lack of liquidity or marketability. Interests in investment funds, trusts and collective portfolios are valued using the investment unit value determined by the fund management company. For investment funds where the underlying assets are investment properties, the investment unit value depends on the investment properties value, determined as described below in “i. Investment property”.
c. Derivative financial instruments
The Bank holds positions in standardized derivatives, such as futures over local stocks, and over the market representative rate. These instruments are evaluated according to the information provided by Precia, which perfectly matches the information provided by the Central Counterparty Clearing House – CCP.
Additionally, the Bank holds positions in Over The Counter (OTC) derivatives, which in the absence of prices, are valued using the inputs and methodologies provided by the pricing services provider, which have the no objection of the SFC.
The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates, the spot price of the underlying volatility, credit curves and correlation of such inputs.
d. Credit valuation adjustment
The Bank measures the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining fair value of the swap, option and forward derivatives.
Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when the Bank’s position is a derivative asset and the Bank’s credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability. The Bank attempts to mitigate credit risk to third parties which are international banks by entering into master netting agreements. The agreements allow to offset or bring net amounts that are liabilities, derivates from transactions carried out by the different agreements. Master netting agreements take different forms and may allow payments to be made under a variety of other master agreements or other negotiation agreements between the same parties; some may have a monthly basis and others only apply at the time the agreements are terminated.
When assessing the impact of credit exposure, only the net counterparty exposure is considered at risk, due to the offsetting of certain same-counterparty positions and the application of cash and other collateral.
The Bank generally calculates the asset’s credit risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with international financial institutions by incorporating indicative credit related pricing that is generally observable in the market (Credit Default Swaps, “CDS”). The credit-risk adjustment for derivatives transacted with non-public counterparties is calculated by incorporating unobservable credit data derived from internal credit qualifications to the financial institutions and corporate companies located in each geography. The Bank also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if the Bank believes market participants would take that into account when transacting the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bank’s credit risk on an instrument transacted with international financial institutions is done using the asset swap curve calculated for subordinated bonds issued by the Bank in foreign currency. For derivatives transacted with local financial institutions, the Bank calculates the credit risk adjustment by incorporating credit risk data provided by rating agencies and released in the financial markets.
e. Impaired loans measured at fair value
The Bank measured certain impaired loans based on the fair value of the associated collateral less costs to sell. The fair values were determined as follows using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset.
For vehicles under leasing arrangements, the Bank uses an internal valuation model based on price curves for each type of vehicle. Such curves show the expected price of the vehicle at different points in time based on the initial price and projection of economic variables such as inflation, devaluation and customs. The prices modelled in the curves are compared every six months with market information for the same or similar vehicles and in the case of significant deviation; the curve is adjusted to reflect the market conditions.
Other vehicles are measured using matrix pricing from a third party. This matrix is used by most of the market participants and is updated monthly. The matrix is developed from values provided by several price providers for identical or similar vehicles and considers brand, characteristics of the vehicles, and manufacturing date among other variables to determine the prices.
For real estate assets, a third-party qualified appraiser is used. The methodologies vary depending on the date of the last appraisal available for the property (the appraisal is estimated based on either of three approaches: cost, sales comparison and income approach, and is required every three years). When the property has been valued in the last 12 months and the market conditions have not shown significant changes, the most recent valuation is considered the fair value of the property.
For all other cases (for example, appraisals older than 12 months) the value of the property is updated by adjusting the value in the last appraisal for weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, structural conditions and the expected sales prices, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate specialists.For all other cases (for example, appraisals older than 12 months) the value of the property is updated by adjusting the value in the last appraisal for weighted factors such as location, type and characteristics of the property, size, structural conditions and the expected sales prices, among others. The factors are determined based on current market information gathered from several external real estate specialists.
f. Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost of sale
The Bank measures certain impaired foreclosed assets and premises and equipment held for sale based on fair value less costs to sell. The fair values were determined using external and internal valuation techniques, depending on the type of underlying asset. Those assets are comprised mainly of real estate properties for which the appraisal is conducted by experts considering factors such as the location, type and characteristics of the property, size, physical conditions and expected selling costs, among others. Likewise, in some cases the fair value is estimated considering comparable prices or promises of sale and offering prices from auctions process.
g. Mortgage-backed securities (“TIPS”) and Asset-Backed securities
The Bank invests in asset-backed securities for which underlying assets are mortgages and earnings under contracts issued by financial institutions and corporations, respectively. The Bank does not have a significant exposure to sub-prime securities. The asset-backed securities are denominated in local market TIPS and are classified as fair value through profit or loss. These asset-backed securities have different maturities and are generally classified by credit ratings.
TIPS are part of the Bank portfolio and its fair value is measured with published price by the official pricing services provider. These securities are leveled by margin and are assigned level 2 or 3 based on the Precia information.
Residual TIPS have their fair value measured using the discounted flow method, taking into account the amortization tables of the Titularizadora Colombiana, the betas in COP and UVR of Precia (used to construct the curves) and the margins; when they are residual TIPS of subordinated issues, a liquidity premium is applied. These securities are assigned level 3.
h. Investments in associates measured at fair value
The Bank recognizes its investments in P.A Viva Malls and P.A Distrito Vera as an associate at fair value. The estimated amount is provided by the fund manager as the variation of the units according to the units owned by the FCP Fondo Inmobiliario Colombia. The associate’s assets are comprised of investment properties which are measured using the following techniques: comparable prices, discounted cash flows, replacement cost and direct capitalization. For further information about techniques methodologies and inputs used by the external party see “Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements”.
i. Investment property
The Bank’s investment property is valued by external experts, who use valuation techniques based on comparable prices, direct capitalization, discounted cash flows and replacement costs.

IFRS requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of financial position, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Certain categories of assets and liabilities, however, are not eligible for fair value accounting. The financial instruments below are not measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:
Short-term financial instruments
Short-term financial instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the consolidated statement of financial position, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity of the instruments. This approach was used for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable, customers’ acceptances, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued interest payable and bank acceptances outstanding.
Deposits from customers
The fair value of time deposits was estimated based on the discounted value of cash flows using the appropriate discount rate for the applicable maturity. Fair value of deposits with no contractual maturities represents the amount payable on demand as of the statement of financial position date.
Interbank deposits and repurchase agreements and other similar secured borrowings
Short-term interbank borrowings and repurchase agreements have been valued at their carrying amounts because of their relatively short-term nature. Long-term and domestic development bank borrowings have also been valued at their carrying amount because they bear interest at variable rates.
Borrowings from other financial institutions
The fair value of borrowings from other financial institutions were determined using discounted cash flow models. The cash flows projection of capital and interest was made according to the contractual terms, considering capital amortization and interest bearing. Subsequently, the cash flows were discounted using reference curves formed by the weighted average of the Bank’s deposit rates.
Debt instruments in issue
The fair value of debt instruments in issue, comprised of bonds issued by Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries, was estimated substantially based on quoted market prices. The fair value of certain bonds which do not have a public trading market, were determined based on the discounted value of cash flows using the rates currently offered for bonds of similar remaining maturities and the Bank’s creditworthiness.
Preferred shares
In the valuation of the liability component of preferred shares related to the minimum dividend of 1% of the subscription price, the Bank uses the Gordon Model to price the obligation, taking into account its own credit risk, which is measured using the market spread based on observable inputs such as quoted prices of sovereign debt. The Gordon Model is commonly used to determine the intrinsic value of a stock based on a future series of dividends that are estimated by the Bank and growth at a constant rate considering the Bank’s own perspectives of the payout ratio.
Loans and advances to customers
Estimating the fair value of loans and advances to customers is considered an area of considerable uncertainty as there is no observable market. The loan portfolio is stratified into tranches and loans segments suchs as commercial, consumer, small business loans, mortgage and leasing. The fair value of loans and advances to customers and financial institutions is determined using a discounted cash flow methodology, considering each credit’s principal and interest projected cash flows to the prepayment date. The projected cash flows are discounted using reference curves according to the type of loan and its maturity date.
Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
The Bank measures assets held for sale based on fair value less costs to sell. This category includes certain foreclosed assets and investments in associates held for sale. The fair values were determined using external and internal valuation techniques or third party experts, depending on the type of underlying asset. The following breakdown sets forth the fair value hierarchy of those assets classified by type:

All transfers are assumed to occur at the end of the reporting period.
Quantitative information about level 3 fair value measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is, in certain circumstances, measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not evidenced by prices from observable market transactions in the same instrument and are not based on observable market data. Changing one or more of the inputs to the valuation models to reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change the fair values and therefore a valuation adjustment would be recognized in profit or loss. Favorable and unfavorable changes are determined on the basis of changes in the value of the instrument as a result of varying the levels of the unobservable input as described in the table below.
The following table sets forth information about significant unobservable inputs related to the Bank’s material categories of level 3 financial assets and liabilities and the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions.
As of June 30, 2024
Financial instrument | Fair value | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range of inputs | Weighted average | Sensitivity 100 basis point increase | Sensitivity 100 basis point decrease |

The following table sets forth information about valuation techniques used in the measurement of the fair value investment properties of the Bank, the significant unobservable inputs and the respective sensivity:
Methodology | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Description of sensitivity |
Sales Comparison Approach – SCA The fair value assessment is based on the examination of prices at which similar properties in the same area recently sold. Since no two properties are identical the measurement valuation must take into account adjustments for the differences between the sold properties and those held by the Bank to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. | Comparable prices | The weighted average rates used in the capitalization methodology for revenues in the second quarter for 2024 are: • Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.19%. • Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.49%, terminal rate: 8.31%. The same weighted rates for the last quarter of 2023 were: • Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.07%. • Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.44%, terminal rate: 8.25%. The ratio between monthly gross income and real estate value directly administered by the FIC (rental rate) considering the differences in placements and individual factors between properties and in a weighted way in the second quarter of 2024 are 0.80% and for December 31, 2023 was 0.82%. | An increase (light, normal, considerable, significant) in the capitalization rate used would generate a decrease (significant, considerable, normal, light) in the fair value of the asset, and vice versa. An increase (light, normal, considerable, significant) in the leases used in the valuation would generate a (significant, light, considerable) increase in the fair value of the asset, and vice versa. |
Income Approach Used to estimate the fair value of the property by taking future net cash flows and discounting them at the capitalization rate. | Direct capitalization Discounted cash flows | ||
Cost approach Used to estimate the fair value of the property considering the cost to replace or build a property at the same or equal conditions of the asset to be measured, deducting the accumulated depreciation charge and adding-up the amount of the land. | Replacement cost |
There has been no change to the valuation technique during the year 2024 for each asset.
NOTE 23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Approval of Consolidated Financial Statements
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by Chief Executive Financial for publication at August 09, 2024. The Financial Statements have been reviewed, not audited.

RISK MANAGEMENT
In the economic field, the months that have passed in 2024 have been characterized by positive results in terms of economic growth, while a gradual process of inflationary convergence that has slowed down the monetary normalization processes of most central banks in the world. In parallel, geopolitical conflicts, the global electoral super cycle and sociopolitical uncertainty at the local level have printed more volatility on assets during 2024.
In this context, a relevant event within the Bancolombia Group is the start of operations of Wenia Ltd. This new entity of the Group, incorporated in Bermuda and regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), it has a Class F Digital Asset Business license, which can issue, sell and redeem digital assets, operate as a payment and digital asset exchange service provider, and offer wallet custody services. Wenia offers a stablecoin backed by the Colombian peso ("COPW"), digital asset exchange and custody, and transfers. Initially, its services are aimed only at Colombian citizens of legal age. Wenia's quarterly results may fluctuate significantly due to variations in cryptocurrency market trading volumes, affecting income, expenses and financial performance of the cryptoasset portfolio; and it's earnings depend on transaction fees, which vary depending on the payment method and transaction value, and these can have a high correlation with the market valuations of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets. Among other financial risks, there is market risks implied by the introduction of COPW, related to the loss of value of Colombian government bonds backing the stablecoin issuance.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an economic loss to the Bank due to a non-fulfillment of financial obligations by a customer or counterparty and arises principally from the decline on borrower´s creditworthiness or changes in the business climate. Credit risk is the single largest risk for the Bank's business; the Bank manages its exposure to credit risk.

a. | Credit Risk Management - Loans and Advances |
The first half of 2024 shows an economic performance with growth, despite a slow decline in inflation levels and interest rates, in addition to the geopolitical tensions that continue to exist globally. About that, proactive credit risk management was maintained through the monitoring and follow-up of customers and portfolios, the evaluation of the conditions and specific requirements of each one, as well as the development of methods, tools and models to optimize collection. Monitoring and reviewing the credit portfolio continues to be a key factor in identifying and applying proactive strategies at different stages of the credit cycle,
The risk management of the different types of operations throughout the stages of the credit cycle carried out by the Group is developed through compliance with the policies, procedures and methodologies established in the Risk Management System (in Colombia the Comprehensive Risk Management System - SIAR), which also includes the general criteria for assessing, qualifying, assuming, controlling and covering the aforementioned risk. In addition, the management has developed manuals of procedures and methodologies that specify the policies and procedures for the different products and segments served by the banks and that take into account the strategy approved by the Board of Directors for the monitoring and control of credit risk.
Country Risk
This risk refers to the possibility of an entity incurring losses as a result of financial operations abroad due to adverse economic and/or political conditions in the country receiving those operations, either because of restrictions on the transfer of foreign exchange or because of factors not attributable to the commercial and financial condition of the country receiving those operations. This definition includes, but is not limited to, sovereign risk (SR) and transfer risk (TR) associated with such factors.
The guidelines, policies and methodologies for country risks management are maintained in accordance with what was revealed as of December 31, 2023.
At the end of June 2024 compared to December 2023, no alerts were presented changes in the country ratings in any investment, nor were adjustments made for deterioration. Of the relevant movements, the transfer of the investment in Wenia Ltd. from other immaterial entities of the Group to Investment Banking is highlighted. The variation in the value of investments is mainly attributed to variation in the exchange rate, results of the period of foreign subsidiaries and distribution of dividends.
b. | Credit Quality Analysis - Loans and Financial Leases |
At the end of June 2024, the Bank experienced positive dynamics in its portfolio compared to December 2023, with a 5.6% increase in the consolidated portfolio balance in local currency. Part of this increase is explained by the impact of the devaluation of the peso against the dollar during the analysis period of the foreign currency portfolio of the Group; additionally, during the period there was an increase in disbursements, especially in the Commercial portfolio, Corporate segment, across in all banks; the Mortgage portfolio remains stable with a slight upward trend in Colombia and Guatemala, while the Consumer and Microcredit modalities presented slight contractions in their balance in all regions except in Bancoagricola of Salvador.
The 30-day past due loan ratio (consolidated) at stood at 5.60% as of June 2024, showing an increase compared to 5.39% in December 2023. The level of the bank´s non-performing loans is mainly impacted by the deterioration of the commercial portfolio in the SME and business segments in Colombia and Panama, as well as the mortgage portfolio in all regions except El Salvador. Conversely, the consumer portfolio showed a general improvement, particularly in Colombia, Guatemala, and Panama. Macroeconomic factors, such as the downward trend in inflation and the gradual intervention of interest rates by central banks, have led to improved economic dynamics in the regions where the Group operates. However, an environment of economic uncertainty persists, continuing to affect consumption and significantly impacting the commerce, manufacturing, and construction sectors, which are fundamental pillars of the regional economy. All portfolios continue to be managed at different stages of the credit cycle in order to anticipate the materialization of risks and strategies for normalizing and containing the portfolio have been implemented.
Special Customer Administration (AEC)
The Bank implements proactive management in monitoring the credit risk of its clients, accompanied by extraordinary diagnostic spaces, early warning alert mechanisms, and general action strategies for client inclusion and follow-up.
As part of the monitoring strategies, the Bank has established a periodic committee to identify and manage risk situations arising from events that could potentially lead to a deterioration in the debtor's repayment capacity. This committee facilitates tailored solutions based on the circumstances of each client.

c. | Credit Risk Management – Other Financial Instruments |
The portfolio is exposed to credit risks given the probability of incurring losses originated by the default in the payment of a coupon, principal and/or yields/dividends of a financial instrument by its issuer or counterparty. The probability of this type of events materializing may increase if there are scenarios of concentration in few issuers (counterparties) and whose credit performance is reflected by higher risk ratings; likewise, increases in credit risk may occur in scenarios in which the portfolio presents low levels of diversification at the level of type and sector of the counterparties with which financial asset transactions are carried out.
The Bank maintains the control and continuous monitoring of the assigned credit risk limits, as well as the consumption thereof. Additionally, the Bank follows up and manages alerts on counterparties and issuers of securities, based on public market information and news related to their performance; this allows mitigating the risks of default or reduction of value for the managed positions.
For credit risk management, each of the positions that make up the portfolio of the own position are adjusted to the policies and limits that have been defined and that seek to minimize the exposure to the same:
● | Term Limits |
● | Credit Limits |
● | Counterparty Limits |
● | Master Agreement |
● | Margin Agreements |
● | Counterparty Alerts |
d. | Credit Quality Analysis - Other Financial Instruments |
In order to evaluate the credit quality of a counterparty or issuer (to determine a risk level or profile), the Bank relies on two rating systems: an external one and an internal one, both of which allow to identify a degree of risk differentiated by segment and country and to apply the policies that have been established for issuers or counterparties with different levels of risk, in order to limit the impact on liquidity and/or the income statement of the Bank.
External credit rating system is divided by the type of rating applied to each instrument or counterparty; in this way the geographic location, the term and the type of instrument allow the assignment of a rating according to the methodology that each examining agency uses.
Internal credit rating system: The “ratings or risk profiles” scale is created with a range of levels that go from low exposure to high exposure (this can be reported in numerical or alphanumerical scales), where the rating model is sustained by the implementation and analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables at sector level, which according to the relative analysis of each variable, determine credit quality; in this way the internal credit rating system aims to establish adequate margin in decision-making regarding the management of financial instruments.
In accordance with the criteria and considerations specified in the internal rating allocation and external credit rating systems methodologies, the following schemes of relation can be established, according to credit quality given to each one of the qualification scales:
Low Risk: All investment grade positions (from AAA to BBB-), as well as those issuers that according to the information available (financial statements, relevant information, external ratings, CDS, among others) reflect adequate credit quality.
Medium Risk: All speculative grade positions (from BB+ to BB-), as well as those issuers that according to the available information (Financial statements, relevant information, external qualifications, CDS, among others) reflect weaknesses that could affect their financial situation in the medium term.
High Risk: All positions of speculative grade (from B+ to D), as well as those issuers that according to the information available (Financial statements, relevant information, external qualifications, CDS, among others) reflect a high probability of default of financial obligations or that already have failed to fulfill them.

● | Collateral - other financial instruments |
Level of collateral: Respect to the type of asset or operation, a collateral level is determined according to the policies defined for each product and the market where the operation is carried out.
Assets held as collateral in organized markets: The only assets that can be received as collateral are those defined by the central counterparties, the stock market where the operation is negotiated, those assets that are settled separately in different contracts or documents, which can be managed by each organization and must comply with the investment policies defined by the Bank, taking into account the credit limit for each type of asset or operation received or delivered, which collateral received are the best credit quality and liquidity.
Assets received as bilateral collateral between counterparties: The collateral accepted in international OTC derivative operations is agreed on bilaterally in the Credit Support Annex (CSA)1 and with fulfillment in cash in dollars and managed by ClearStream. This company acts on behalf of Bancolombia for making international margin calls and providing a better management of the collateral.
Collateral adjustments for margin agreements: The adjustments will be determined by the criteria applied by both the external and internal regulations in effect, and at the same time, mitigation standards are maintained so that the operation fulfills the liquidity and solidity criteria for settlement.
Credit risk concentration - other financial instruments
1 A Credit Support Annex (CSA) provides credit protection by setting forth the rules governing the mutual posting of collateral. CSAs are used in documenting collateral arrangements between two parties that trade privately negotiated (over the counter) derivative securities. The trade is documented under a standard contract called a master agreement, developed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA).
According to the regulations, the Bank must control daily the risk of positions of the Bank’s companies where the same issuer or counterparty stands, below the legal limits. By the same way, the positions of the Bank are verified in respect of the authorized risk levels in each country to guarantee the alerts and positions limits, that are considered outside of the Bank risk appetite.
Currently, the Bank's positions do not exceed the concentration limit.
MARKET RISK
Bancolombia’s Bank currently measure the treasury book exposure to market risk (including OTC derivatives positions) as well as the currency risk exposure of the banking book, which is provided to the Treasury Division, using a VaR methodology established in accordance with “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, issued by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia.
The VaR methodology established by “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular” is based on the model recommended by the Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks of Basel Committee, which focuses on the treasury book and excludes investments classified as amortized cost which are not being given as collateral and any other investment that comprises the banking book. In addition, the methodology aggregates all risks by the use of correlations, through an allocation system based on defined zones and bands, affected by given sensitivity factors.
Bancolombia use different models with the purpose of measure risk exposure and the portfolio diversification effect, the main metrics are: i) the standard methodology required by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, is established by “Chapter XXXI of the Basic Accounting Circular”, and ii) the internal methodology of historical weighted simulation, which use a confidence level of 99%, a holding period of 10 days, a time frame of 250 business days and hierarchical VaR limits.
The guidelines and principles of the Bank´s Market Risk Management have been keeping in accordance with disclose of December 31, 2023.
The total market risk VaR had an increase of 37.2%, from COP 1,096,000 on December 31, 2023 to COP 1,503,210 in June 30, 2024, this increase is explained by the exposure to different market risk factors. The risk factor leading the increment is the exchange rate, which registered a greater exposure to the US dollar; followed by the interest rate factor driven mainly by the increase in the portfolio in investments in United States government bonds and local public debt. The collective investment funds factor registered an increase mainly due a greater exposure of the Colombia Inmobiliario Fund, followed by the share price factor due to valuations in investments.

Interest Risk Exposure (Banking Book)
The Bancolombia Group performs a sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk, estimating the impact on the net interest margin of each position in the banking book using a repricing model and assuming a positive parallel change of 100 basis points (bps) in the rates.
Table 1 provides information about the interest rate risk sensitivity of the Bancolombia Group's banking book positions.
Table 1. Sensitivity to Interest Rate Risk of the Banking Book
The chart below provides information about interest rate risk sensitivity in local currency (COP) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
In millions of COP | ||
Assets sensitivity 100 bps | 1,142,621 | 1,152,782 |
Liabilities sensitivity 100 bps | 579,089 | 595,749 |
Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps | 563,532 | 557,033 |
The chart below provides information about interest rate risk sensitivity in foreign currency (US dollars) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:
June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |
In thousand of USD | ||
Assets sensitivity 100 bps | 75,189 | 75,052 |
Liabilities sensitivity 100 bps | 74,471 | 74,800 |
Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps | 718 | 252 |
A positive net sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of assets than of liabilities and implies that a rise in interest rates will positively affect the Bank´s net interest income. A negative sensitivity denotes a higher sensitivity of liabilities than of assets and implies that a rise in interest rates will negatively affect the Bank´s net interest income. In the event of a decrease in interest rates, the impacts on net interest income would be opposite to those described above.
As of June 30, 2024, the net sensitivity of the banking book in legal currency to positive and parallel variations in interest rates of 100 basis points was COP 563,532. The variation in the sensitivity of the net interest margin between December 2023 and June 2024 is presented by the decrease in liability sensitivity due to the reduction in the balance and an extension in repricing terms for CDTs, passive loans, and bonds indexed to floating rates.
On the other hand, the sensitivity to the net interest margin in foreign currency, assuming the same parallel displacement of 100 basis points presented an increase between December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, due to a rise in fixed-rate sensitive loans and a decline in passive loans at Bancolombia, Banistmo and BAM, which was partly offset by higher deposit accounts and CDTs at Banistmo and Bancolombia Panamá.
Liquidity risk
During the first quarter, Bancolombia presented a comfortable liquidity level, accomplishing with internal and mandatory ratios. Likewise, the alerts established for monitoring liquidity did not present breaches that could materialize any risk. Additionally, liquid assets fullfilled the limits and comfortably covered the liquidity requirements of the Bank companies.
Liquidity risk exposure:
In order to estimate liquidity risk, the Bank measures a liquidity coverage ratio to ensure holding liquid assets sufficient to cover potential net cash outflows over 30 days. This indicator allows the Bank to meet liquidity coverage for the next month. The liquidity coverage ratio is presented as follows:
Liquidity Coverage Ratio | June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 |
In millions of COP | ||
Net cash outflows into 30 days | 16,196,929 | 13,752,496 |
Liquid Assets | 50,703,906 | 50,680,823 |
Liquidity coverage ratio* | 313.05% |
The coverage indicator presented a reduction from 368.5% in December 2023 to 313.05% in June 2024, mainly explained by the increase in Bancolombia's liquidity requirement, due to the reduction in the projection of income in active liquidity operations and loans.
Liquid Assets
One of the main guidelines of the Bank is to maintain a solid liquidity position, therefore, the ALCO Committee, has established a minimum level of liquid assets, based on the funding needs of each subsidiary, to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Bank’s reputation.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
As part of the LIBOR benchmark reform that is being implemented since 2017 by the Financial Conduct Authority of the UK, in March of the present year, it was announced that the publication of LIBOR on a representative basis will cease for the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023.
Grupo Bancolombia has taken the necessary measures to identify and implement the action plans required to address the discontinuation process of the LIBOR rate, among them, the approval of SOFR rate as the replacement rate of LIBOR in USD, which was approved by the Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Committee and the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors, to commenced with the development of products indexed to the new reference rate (SOFR).
The following tables provide a breakdown by currency and nature of financial instruments exposed to the LIBOR rate for the periods ending in June 2024 and December 2023:

Risk
Any failure by market participants, such as the Bank, and regulators to successfully introduce benchmark rates to replace LIBOR and implement effective transitional arrangements to address the discontinuation of LIBOR could result in disruption of the financial and capital markets. In addition, the transition process to an alternative reference rate could impact the Bank’s business, financial condition or result of operations, as a result of:
● | An adverse impact in pricing, liquidity, value, return and trading for a broad array of financial products, loans and derivatives that are included in the Bank’s financial assets and liabilities. |
● | Extensive changes to internal processes and documentation that contain references to LIBOR or use formulas that depend on LIBOR. |
● | Disputes, litigation or other actions with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of provisions in LIBOR -based products such as fallback language or other related provisions. |
● | The transition and development of appropriate systems and models to effectively transition the Bank’s risk management processes from LIBOR -based products to those based on one or more alternative reference rates in a timely manner; and |
● | An increase in prepayments of LIBOR -linked loans by the Bank’s clients. |
From January 2022, products indexed to the SOFR rate began to be offered, additionally it was defined not to carry new operations indexed to the LIBOR rate. In turn, as an organization, we will continue, during 2024, on the transition process of operations that are indexed to LIBOR.
