Banco de Bogotá

Abstract

The image contains a news story about a newspaper that reports on a general meeting of shareholders of Banco de Bogotá. The news details that the assembly was held after the signing of a public deed and was announced at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During the meeting, chaired by Dr. Joaquín Sarmiento, important financial issues were discussed, including the authorized and subscribed capital of the bank, which amounted to $235,000 at that time. These types of meetings are key events in the corporate management of banks, where shareholders meet to make important decisions about the direction and finances of the institution. In historical context, this document reflects how finances and decision-making were managed in the Colombian banking sector, which can offer an interesting perspective on the evolution of banking and corporate practices in the region.
