The accompanying notes form an integral part of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
NOTE 1. REPORTING ENTITY
Bancolombia S.A. (hereinafter "the Bank"), is a credit establishment listed on the Colombian Stock Exchange (BVC) since 1981. It had American Depositary Receipts (hereinafter "ADRs") listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), from 1995 to May 2025.
The Bank has its main address at Carrera 48 N° 26-85 Avenida Los Industriales Medellín, Colombia, and was originally constituted under the name Banco Industrial Colombiano (BIC) according to public deed number 388 of January 24, 1945, from the First Notary's Office of Medellín, authorized by the Superintendence of Finance of Colombia ("SFC"). On April 3, 1998, by means of public deed number 633, Banco Industrial Colombiano S.A. (BIC) merged with Banco de Colombia S.A. and the the resulting organization of that merger was named Bancolombia S.A.
The operating license was granted by the SFC, definitively, according to Resolution No. 3140 of September 24, 1993. The duration of the Bank is until December 8, 2144. The company may be dissolved or extended before said term.
On October 29, 2024, the Bank announced to the market that its Board of Directors authorized its management to move forward with the steps necessary to modify the corporate structure of Bancolombia Group, its affiliates and subsidiaries, through the creation of a holding company called Grupo Cibest S.A. (hereinafter "Cibest") as well as certain related corporate transactions.
The changes in the corporate structure included the following transactions (hereinafter, the "Corporate Transactions") which, once the regulatory authorizations required in Colombia and in the different jurisdictions of the Group were obtained, were approved by the different Shareholders' Meetings of the entities involved, including an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting of the Bank that took place on April 23, 2025, in which shareholders holding common shares and shareholders holding preferred dividend shares without voting rights participated. The approved corporate operations were:
(i)The distribution of certain subsidiaries by Bancolombia (Panama) S.A. to Sociedad Beneficiaria BC Panamá S.A.S.
(ii)The merger of Sociedad Beneficiaria BC Panamá S.A.S into the Bank.
(iii)The distribution of certain assets and subsidiaries of Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A. Corporación Financiera to the Bank.
(iv)The distribution of certain assets and subsidiaries of the Bank to Cibest.
Corporate Transactions (ii), (iii) and (iv) were authorized by the SFC through Resolutions number 0356 of 2025 of February 28, 2025, and 0901 of May 7, 2025.
The notice of merger by absorption and distribution of certain assets of the Bank was published on January 13, 2025. The changes to the corporate structure were formalized on May 12, 2025, through public deed number 386 issued by the 30th Notary’s office of Medellín. On May 16, 2025, the date on which the transaction was completed, the Bank's shareholders (except Cibest) became shareholders of Cibest, which issued on their behalf the same number and class of shares (common shares and preferred dividend shares without voting rights), preserving the terms and conditions previously held by shareholders in the Bank, including their ownership percentage. Consequently, the shares that they had in the Bank (except those of Cibest) were cancelled. The Bank's ADR holders received equivalent ADRs from Cibest and their Bank ADRs were cancelled. As a result, no dilution or value transfer to third parties occurred for the Bank’s shareholders.
Upon completion of the Corporate Transactions, Cibest became the holding company of all the financial companies and other companies that are part of the Group, including the Bank. Additionally, it became the direct parent of Banistmo S.A., Grupo Agromercantil Holding, Banagrícola S.A., Negocios Digitales S.A.S., Wenia Ltd., Wompi S.A.S., and Renting S.A.S.-subsidiaries that were previously directly or indirectly owned by Bancolombia and included in its consolidated financial statements.
The following outlines the impacts on the assets, liabilities, and equity previously recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Bancolombia S.A., which, as a result of the distribution of certain assets, were transferred in favor of Grupo Cibest S.A. and are now included in its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis for preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the cumulative six months ended on June 30, 2025 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, 2024 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, 2025 and 2024 have not been audited.
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements under going concern basis
Management has assessed the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern and confirms that the Bank 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 Bank'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, 2025 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 three months ended on June 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Bank 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 Bank’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.
Transactions between entities under common control
Combinations of entities under common control refer to those transactions in which all the combining entities are under the control of the Group both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory.
For transactions under common control, the Bank has elected, as an accounting policy, to use the predecessor value method for the recognition of intercompany transactions. This means that the assets and liabilities spun off from the entity or business being spun off are recognized in the separate financial statements of the receiving company at their carrying amount, as recorded prior to the transaction date.
The Group presents the net assets received retrospectively as of the date of transfer.
The financial statements for the second quarter and the end of 2024 are presented as consolidated, reflecting the Bancolombia Group's current structure during that period. Pursuant to the policy adopted, the historical financial statements are used as if the new corporate structure had always existed. Therefore, the comparative balances of the holding company are consistent with those of the previous parent company. During the second quarter of 2025, the company assumed the parent company position within the economic group. Therefore, as of that date, the financial statements presented include all subsidiaries previously consolidated by Bancolombia. For more information, see Note 1, Reporting Entity.
B. Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires that the Bank'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, 2025 there were no changes in the significant estimates and judgments made by Management in applying the Bank's accounting, as compared to those applied in the consolidated financial statements at the year ended on December 31, 2024.
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, 2024 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, 2025, as shown below:
New rule SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 122 Standard: Staff Accounting Bulletin SAB 122, issued by the SEC on January 23, 2025, rescinded SAB 121, which required recognition in the financial statements of an asset and a liability reflecting its obligation to safeguard crypto assets. Under the new guidance, entities must assess whether they recognize a liability related to the risk of loss arising from such an obligation, and if so, the recognition and measurement of that liability shall follow the requirements for contingent liabilities in accordance with the principles of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Recently accounting pronouncements issued by IASB pending to incorporate in NCIF framework accepted in Colombia
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.
These amendments were analyzed by the Management without evidencing any impact on the Bank's 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 Bank's condensed consolidated interim financial statements and disclosures.

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.
9.8.2 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, taking into account that the Bank, its affiliates and national subsidiaries belong to the same business group.
9.9 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 Bank. Consequently, a dispute or inspection by the tax authority on a tax treatment may affect the Bank 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 Bank did not recognize uncertain tax positions in its financial statements.

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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries.
All methodologies and procedures developed by the pricing services provider are supervised by the Financial Superintendence of Colombia, which has not objected to them.
Daily, 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries assign prices to those debt investments, using the prices provided by the official pricing services provider (Precia) and assign 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, Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries generally determine fair value utilizing internal valuation and standard techniques. These techniques include the 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries perform 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 comparable, 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries hold positions in standardized derivatives, such as futures over local stocks, and at 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, Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries hold 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 to 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries measure the effects of the credit risk of its counterparties and its own creditworthiness in determining the fair value of the swap, option and forward derivatives.
Counterparty credit-risk adjustments are applied to derivatives when Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' position is a derivative asset and Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' credit risk is incorporated when the position is a derivative liability. Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries attempt to mitigate credit risk to third parties who 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.
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries 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. Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries also considers its own creditworthiness when determining the fair value of an instrument, including OTC derivative instruments if Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries believe market participants would take that into account when transacting the respective instrument. The approach to measuring the impact of the Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' credit risk on an instrument transacted with international financial institutions is done using the asset swap curve calculated for subordinated bonds issued by Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries in foreign currency. For derivatives transacted with local financial institutions, Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries calculate 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries 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, Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries use 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.
f. Assets held for sale measured at fair value less cost of sale
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries measure 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries invest in asset-backed securities for which underlying assets are mortgages and earnings under contracts issued by financial institutions and corporations, respectively. Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries do 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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' portfolio and their fair value is measured with published prices by the official pricing services provider. These securities are leveled by margin and are assigned levels 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries recognizes its investments in P.A Viva Malls, P.A Distrito Vera and Fideicomiso Locales Distrito Vera as associates 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' 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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries 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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' 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 flow 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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' 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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' creditworthiness.
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 such 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
Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries measure 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

During 2025, the Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries transferred securities from level 1 to level 2, because such securities decreased in liquidity and were traded less frequently in an active market.
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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries' material categories of level 3 financial assets and liabilities and the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions.

The following table sets forth information about valuation techniques used in the measurement of the fair value investment properties of Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries, the significant unobservable inputs and the respective sensitivity:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
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 Bancolombia S.A. and its subsidiaries 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 2025 are: •Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.14%. •Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.30%, terminal rate: 8.26%. The same weighted rates for the last quarter of 2024 were: •Direct capitalization: initial rate 8.13% •Discounted cash flow: discount rate: 12.27%, terminal rate: 8.29%. 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 2025 are 0.87% and for December 31, 2024 was 0.88%. | 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 2025 for each asset.
NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Approval of Consolidated Financial Statements
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved by Chief Executive Financial for publication at August 06, 2025. The Financial Statements have been reviewed, not audited.
On July 22, 2025, Bancolombia S.A. (“Bancolombia”) announced its intention to voluntarily delist its 4.875% Subordinated Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and 8.625% Subordinated Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes,” and together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Management is currently carrying out the necessary procedures to transfer the listing jurisdiction of the aforementioned Notes to the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”).
RISK MANAGEMENT
In the economic sphere, the first half of 2025 confirmed the continuation of the global macroeconomic stabilization process, supported by a gradual improvement in the pace of growth across several developed and emerging economies. At the same time, upside risks to inflation remain relevant, amid high indexation in service prices and increased trade barriers, which could exert inflationary pressures in the second half of the year. Additionally, geopolitical conflicts and the deterioration of public finances in some regions have contributed to heightened volatility in international financial markets.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of an economic loss to the Bancolombia and its subsidiaries 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; which is managed at each stage of the credit cycle.
The information below contains the maximum exposure to credit risk for the periods ending December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025:

Credit Risk Management - Loans and Advances
The information below provides the most significant events in Bancolombia and its main subsidiaries for the second quarter:
Retail and SME Banking at Bancolombia
As of the end of June 2025, the total loan portfolio for retail and SME banking increased by 3.3% compared to December 2024. Past-due loans decreased by 6%, improving the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio from 6.9% to 6.3%. This positive trend is attributed to the recovery of the macroeconomic environment, reflected in falling inflation, lower market interest rates, and reduced unemployment. Additionally, proactive monitoring and early collection and monitoring strategies have contributed to lower portfolio default rates. Early warning and predictive analytics strategies will continue to be applied to the loan portfolio, aiming to identify early signs of deterioration and mitigate the materialization of credit risk.
Corporate Bank business at Bancolombia
As of the end of June 2025, the corporate business continued to show a positive performance in its loan portfolio, with an outstanding balance increase of 3.77% compared to December 2024. This growth is partly attributed to a favorable disbursement dynamic, with disbursement levels consistently exceeding COP 114 trillion.
Regarding portfolio quality, a significant improvement was observed. The 30-day past-due loan ratio stood at 2.32% at the end of June 2025, reflecting a reduction of 22 basis points compared to December 2024. This improvement highlights effective credit risk management, supported by stricter origination policies and proactive monitoring of clients showing early warning signs of deterioration.
Lastly, loan loss coverage through provisions remained strong, reaching 140.74% as of the second quarter of 2025. This level of coverage indicates the institution’s solid capacity to absorb potential credit losses, reinforcing both its solvency and overall financial stability.
Bancolombia Panama
In June 2025, total exposure in Bancolombia Panama showed a 4.97% decrease compared to December 2024. This reduction was mainly driven by repayments, cancellations, and charge-offs recorded during the semester. By segment, the corporate portfolio grew by 25.5%, while the SME and business segments declined by 13.2% and 15.3%, respectively.
Regarding past-due loans, the 30-day delinquency indicator (ICV30) increased by 56%, rising from 0.33% in December 2024 to 0.51% in June 2025, reflecting a deterioration in portfolio quality. This was primarily due to increased roll rates, particularly within the corporate segment. Proactive monitoring strategies will continue to be implemented to identify early warning signs of deterioration and mitigate the materialization of credit risk.
Bancolombia Puerto Rico
In June 2025, total exposure in Bancolombia Puerto Rico increased by 6.59% compared to December 2024, mainly driven by stronger disbursement activity. This positive performance was particularly reflected in the business segment.
Regarding past-due loans, the 30-day delinquency indicator (ICV30) decreased by 139%, rising from 0.17% in December 2024 to 0.7% in June 2025. This improvement is largely explained by the healthy performance of past-due loans across various products and by charge-offs executed during the first half of the year. Proactive monitoring strategies will continue to be implemented to identify early warning signs of deterioration and mitigate the materialization of credit risk.
Monitoring Sectoral Alerts, Macroeconomic Changes, and the Political Environment at Bancolombia
During the second quarter of 2025, monitoring and collection strategies remained active across all business segments, aiming to identify emerging risks and proactively implement timely solutions to mitigate potential impacts on the loan portfolio. As part of this process, Bancolombia has intensified its comprehensive review of the economic sectors to which it is exposed, considering macroeconomic, sectoral, financial, and transactional variables in a context of uncertainty driven by both local and international issues.
Currently, potential impacts of the new labor reform are being assessed. The reform could affect labor intensive sectors such as hotels, restaurants, and Temporary service agencies and services BPO, where an increase in operating costs and adjustments in hiring practices are expected. These changes may lead to a deterioration in some client’s payment capacity, reduced profit margins, or even increased unemployment and informality among individuals. Bancolombia will continue to actively evaluate these risks and design strategies for clients who may be affected.
At the same time, a positive trend in client payment behavior persists, with customers responding favorably to the decline in inflation and interest rates. Nevertheless, alerts related to government budget management, monetary policy, trade policy, and key variables such as the exchange rate continue to be closely monitored. Additionally, sector-specific alerts remain in place for industries such as construction, healthcare, and public sector contractors.
Country Risk
At the end of June 30, 2025, no alerts were presented in any investment subject to country risk, nor were adjustments made for deterioration of investments that could affect or deteriorate the financial strength of Bancolombia and its subsidiaries, compared to the end of 2024. The decrease in the investment portfolio subject to country risk assessment is primarily due to the reallocation of investment companies within the Cibest Group. Additionally, the decrease in the value of investments is due to revaluation factors.
a.Credit Quality Analysis - Loans and Financial Leases
Analysis of the behavior and impairment of the loan portfolio and financial lease operations
Bancolombia's portfolio, valued in Colombian pesos, closed June 2025 with a decrease of 23.59% compared to the end of 2024. This variation, relative to previous periods, includes the effect of changes in the Group's corporate structure. The consolidated 30-day delinquency rate (ICV) showed a reduction, reaching 4.57% in June 2025 compared to 5.20% in December 2024, mainly explained by an improvement in the quality of the consumer loan portfolio. During the period,
various strategies were developed throughout the credit cycle, allowing for proactive and consistent actions aligned with the clients' reality and environment, aimed at containing deterioration and targeting better risk profiles.
In order to monitor credit risk associated with clients, the Bank has established regular meetings conducted by the AEC Committee to identify events that can lead to a reduction in borrowers’ ability to pay. Generally, clients with good credit behavior could be included in the watch list in case of detecting any event that can lead to future financial difficulties to repay their loans; for instance, internal factors such as the economic activity and sector, financial weakness, impacts of macroeconomic conditions, changes in corporate governance and other situations that could affect clients’ business. The amount and allowance of clients included in the described watch list, as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 is shown below:

b.Credit Risk Management – investment 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 and its subordinates maintains the control and continuous monitoring of the assigned credit risk limits, as well as the consumption thereof. Additionally, the Bank and its subordinates 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
c.Credit Quality Analysis - investment 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 and its subordinates .
External credit rating system: is divided by the type of rating applied to each instrument or issuer; 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 risk to high risk (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.
The credit risk rating of the Republic of Colombia was downgraded following the latest reports issued on June 26, 2025 by Moody’s (to Baa3) and S&P (to BB). As a result, positions in Colombian sovereign debt and Colombian issuers have been reclassified to the medium-risk category.

Note: In derivatives, positive collateral are received from counterparties and collateral negative are delivered to counterparties. Derivative collateral received from counterparties, whose have their market value positive when consolidate all the portfolio derivaties of related ID, in December 2024 was COP 589,098 and in June 2025 was COP 511,246. In debt securities, guarantees correspond to Repo, reverse repo, and securities lending trades.
Collateral- investment 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 Citibank N.A.. 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.
d.Credit risk concentration - investment financial instruments
Currently, the Bank and its subordinates´s positions do not exceed the concentration limit.
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).
Market risk
Bancolombia and its subsidiaries 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.
The Bank and its subsidiaries 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 market risk management at the Bancolombia and its subsidiaries have been keeping in accordance with disclose of December 31, 2024.
Total market risk exposure decreased by 34.9%, from COP 1,697,566 in December 2024 to COP 1,105,473 in June 2025. This variation is mainly attributable to the creation of Grupo Cibest and its corporate reorganization process, which led to the exclusion of entities located outside Colombia from the consolidated financial statements. Regarding the main movements by risk factor, the most significant reduction was observed in the foreign exchange risk factor, due to lower exposure to U.S. dollar-denominated positions. Similarly, the collective investment funds and interest rate risk factors declined as a result of the new organizational structure. These effects were partially offset by an increase in Bancolombia’s portfolio, driven by higher exposure to private debt securities and foreign currency bonds.
The following table presents the total change in market risk and other risk factors.

On the other hand, regarding the VaR measured with the internal, no relevant variations were identified in the VaR metrics at the end of the quarter, nor were any exceedances of the approved limits.
This exposure has been permanently monitored by the Board of Directors and is an input for the decision-making process to preserve the stability in the Bank and its subsidiaries.
Non-trading instruments market risk measurement
The banking book’s relevant risk exposure is interest rate risk, which is the probability of unexpected changes in net interest income or in the economic value of equity as a result of a change in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the Bank’s earnings because of timing differences on the repricing of the assets and liabilities. The Bank manages the interest rate risk arising from banking activities in non-trading instruments by analyzing the interest rate mismatches between its interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities, and estimates the impact on the net interest income and the economic value of equity. The foreign currency exchange rate exposures arising from the banking book are provided to the Treasury Division where these positions are aggregated and managed.
•Interest Risk Exposure (Banking Book)
Bancolombia and its subsidiaries conduct an interest rate risk sensitivity analysis by estimating the impact on the net interest margin of each position in the banking book, using a repricing model and assuming a positive parallel shift of 100 basis points (bps) in interest rates.
Table 1 provides information on the interest rate risk sensitivity of the banking book positions of Bancolombia and its subsidiaries.
Table 1. Sensitivity to Interest Rate Risk of the Banking Book
The following presents the interest rate risk sensitivity in local currency (COP) for Bancolombia and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
In millions of COP |
Assets sensitivity 100 bps | 1,323,123 | 1,262,776 |
Liabilities sensitivity 100 bps | 973,549 | 915,528 |
Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps | 349,574 | 347,248 |
The following presents the interest rate risk sensitivity in foreign currency (US dollars) for Bancolombia and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
In millions of USD |
Assets sensitivity 100 bps | 34,075 | 76,219 |
Liabilities sensitivity 100 bps | 26,277 | 83,051 |
Net interest income sensitivity 100 bps | 7,798 | (6,832) |
A positive net sensitivity indicates that assets are more sensitive than liabilities and implies that an increase in interest rates will positively net interest margin of impact at Bancolombia and its subsidiaries. A negative sensitivity indicates that liabilities are more sensitive than assets and implies that an increase in interest rates will negatively impact the net interest margin. In the event of a decrease in interest rates, the effect on the net interest margin would be the opposite of what is described above.
Total Exposure:
As of June 30, 2025, the net sensitivity of the banking book in local currency to parallel shifts of 100 basis points in interest rates was COP 349,574.
The observed increase in this sensitivity is mainly due to the rise in the balance of the variable-rate loan portfolio, offset by the implementation of accounting hedging strategies, along with the growth in Certificates of Term Deposit (CDTs) with maturities of less than one year.
On the other hand, the sensitivity of the Net Interest Margin (NIM) in foreign currency to a parallel shift of 100 basis points in interest rates increased between December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2025.
This increase is mainly explained by a change in the comparison base, which shifted from considering only Grupo Bancolombia to including only Bancolombia and its subsidiaries. Under this new approach, asset sensitivity exceeds liability sensitivity, due to the high concentration of variable-rate loans in Bancolombia Panama. This effect was largely offset by fixed-rate Certificates of Term Deposit (CDTs), which are sensitive to interest rate changes.
•Assumptions and Limitations
To calculate net interest margin sensitivity based on repricing terms, several key assumptions were considered: (a) prepayments, new operations, defaults, etc., are not considered (b) fixed-rate balance sensitivity includes amounts maturing in less than one year, under the assumption that these will be reinvested at market interest rates; and (c) interest rate changes are assumed to occur immediately and in a parallel manner across the yield curves of both assets and liabilities.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of not being able to efficiently and timely meet payment obligations, both expected and unexpected, present and future, without affecting the normal course of daily operations or the financial condition of the entity. This risk occurs when there is a shortage of available liquid assets or when it is necessary to assume unusual financing costs.
During the second quarter, the corporate reorganization of the Cibest Group led to the formation of the Bancolombia consolidated. The subsequent analysis is based on this new consolidated structure.
During the analysis period, adequate liquidity levels were maintained. Bancolombia and Bancolombia Panama stood out for their strong deposit-taking capacity, particularly in deposit accounts and Certificates of Term Deposit (CDTs). This performance was accompanied by sustained growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which helped offset the increase in funding and reflected efficient liquidity management.
Additionally, liquidity levels remained within established limits and met the requirements of the entities within the Bancolombia consolidated, complying with both internal and regulatory indicators.
Liquidity risk exposure
To estimate liquidity risk, a liquidity coverage ratio is calculated to ensure that the liquid assets held are sufficient to cover potential net cash outflows over a 30-day period. This indicator allows the Bancolombia consolidated to meet its liquidity coverage for the upcoming month. The liquidity coverage ratio is presented as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Liquidity Coverage Ratio | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
Net cash outflows into 30 days | 19,630,805 | 23,887,074 | |
Liquid Assets | 41,061,665 | 59,617,840 | |
Liquidity coverage ratio(1) | 209.17% | 249.58% | |
(1) The minimum level required of the liquidity coverage ratio is 100%.
During the first half of 2025, the liquidity coverage ratio decreased from 249.58% in December 2024 to 209.17% in June 2025. This variation is mainly due to a change in the comparison base, which shifted from Grupo Bancolombia to the consolidated Bancolombia.
b.Liquid Assets
One of the main guidelines of the Bancolombia consolidated is to maintain a strong liquidity position. Accordingly, the Risk Committee has approved a methodology for determining the minimum level of liquid assets, calculated based on liquidity requirements, in order to ensure the proper functioning of banking and financial services activities—such as loan disbursements and deposit withdrawals—while protecting capital and taking advantage of market opportunities.
The following table presents the liquid assets of the Bancolombia consolidated:
| | | | | | | | |
Liquid Assets(1) | June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
High quality liquid assets(2) | | |
Cash | 16,132,718 | 27,931,834 |
High quality liquid securities | 20,151,945 | 24,862,861 |
Other Liquid Assets | | |
Other securities(3) | 4,777,002 | 6,823,145 |
Total Liquid Assets | 41,061,665 | 59,617,840 |
(1)Liquid assets: Liquid assets are considered to be those that are easily realizable and form part of the entity’s portfolio, or those received as collateral in active money market operations, provided they have not been subsequently used in passive money market operations and are free from any mobility restrictions. Liquid assets include: cash, holdings in open-ended collective investment funds without a minimum holding period, and negotiable investments available for sale in fixed-income securities.
(2) High-quality securities are considered to be those available and liquid assets received by the Central Bank for its monetary expansion and contraction operations..
(3) Other liquid assets: liquid assets that do not meet the quality characteristic are included in this category.
