General Information

IDB Statement on Venezuela

On May 14, Venezuela passed the Bank's 180-day limit for payment arrears for an amount of $88.3 million, placing the country in a non-accrual status.

Venezuela's total loan arrears, including those that have not yet reached the 180-day limit, stand at $212.4 million on a total debt of $2.011 billion. Venezuela's debt to the IDB represents 1.6% of the Bank's total assets as of March 31, 2018.

Under the IDB's guidelines on arrears, the Bank cannot undertake any lending activities concerning Venezuela until its arrears are cleared. As a matter of policy, the Bank does not reschedule its sovereign-guaranteed loans.

The IDB does not expect Venezuela's non-accrual event to affect the Bank's 2018 liquidity and capital ratios, which remain strong and in full compliance with its financial policies. The IDB anticipates that the event will not affect its 2018 lending program.

Venezuela, which became a shareholder of the IDB when the institution was founded in 1959, has reiterated its commitment to the IDB and its intention to undertake regular payments. The IDB acknowledges Venezuela's efforts and will continue to work with its government to resolve the arrears.

Additional Information regarding the Notes

   1.         Matters relating to MiFID II 

The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the MiFID II regime. Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of MiFID II.

MiFID II product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and ECPs target market - Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, professional clients and retail clients, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression MiFID II means Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended.

   2.         Additional Investment Considerations: 

There are significant risks associated with the Notes, including but not limited to exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk. Investors should consult their own financial, legal, accounting and tax advisors about the risks associated with an investment in these Notes, the appropriate tools to analyze that investment, and the suitability of the investment in each investor's particular circumstances.

The methodologies for determining the Japanese Yen-Indian Rupee foreign exchange rate may result in a Redemption Amount or the Early Redemption Amount (if applicable) of the Notes, or an interest payment on the Notes, being significantly less than anticipated.

The Bank may hedge its obligations under the Notes by entering into a swap transaction with the Dealer, one of its affiliates or other parties as swap counterparty. Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which the Dealer or another purchaser might be willing to purchase Notes in a secondary market transaction is expected to be lower, and could be substantially lower, than the original issue price of the Notes. This is due to a number of factors, including that (i) the potential profit to the secondary market purchaser of the Notes may be incorporated into any offered price and (ii) the cost of funding used to value the Notes in the secondary market is expected to be higher than our actual cost of funding incurred in connection with the issuance of the Notes. In addition, the original issue price of the Notes included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, the projected profit that our swap counterparty or its affiliates may realize in connection with this swap. Further, as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs, any of which may be significant, the original issue price may differ from values determined by pricing models used by our swap counterparty or other potential purchasers of the Notes in secondary market transactions.

The Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement are complex financial instruments and may not be suitable for certain investors. Investors intending to purchase the Notes should consult with their tax and financial advisors to ensure that the intended purchase meets the investment objective before making such purchase.
