Prudence had remained the watchword for Latin America’s top banks this past year as they continue to chart a cautious course to greater profitability in the face of substantial headwinds. LatinFinance’s annual Banks of the Year awards recognize excellence across the banking sector in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In making their selections, the editorial judging team considered the opinions of analysts and market experts, publicly available data and LatinFinance’s own data in addition to the submitted nominations, which included extensive financial data and supporting information.
