Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana, the parent company of Colombia’s largest bank, may offer shares on Spain’s Latibex, the Madrid-based equity market for Latin American companies, said Chief Executive Officer David Bojanini.

The company also plans to offer shares in Colombia in “months or years,” Bojanini said, adding that the country’s exchange has enough liquidity to absorb more share sales after a $295 million offering this month by Grupo Nutresa SA, Colombia’s biggest food producer and one of the group’s investments.

Grupo Sura, as the company is also known, is seeking acquisitions in Central and South America, Bojanini said in a live webcast of a shareholder meeting in Medellin. Central America “is an interesting market for us to take leadership positions” as the region has a population and economic output similar to Colombia’s, he said.

Bojanini did not say when the company would offer shares on Latibex.
