On June 8 in a local newspaper edited by the FNA (Fondo Nacional del Ahorro, Savings National Fund) its flag can bee seen in a picture during a conference by its current President.
This newspaper, called "El Ahorrador" ("The thrifty", or "thrifty person") is owned by the FNA and it is a news bulletin distributed among all government dependencies nationwide. The online editions of the newspaper (established in 20011) can be foundhere:
The FNA is a government entity established by Extraordinary Decree No. 3118 of 1968 to administer public employees' layover/vacancy funds, and through Law 432 of 1998, its scope of action was broadened to also receive and manage also private layover/vacancy funds.

The flag of the FNA is a plain blue horizontal background flag with the FNAlogoin white letters, and below it reads "Construyendo Sociedad" ("Construyendo" in light greens letters, and "Sociedad" in white letters, as seen here.

The current FNA flag has been most likely adopted between 2010 and 2011 dating from the previously mentioned former logo flags, which date from 2010, and their online newspaper, which was established in 2011 and already shows the new logo (and thus the new flag).
