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. The language set out under the heading "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

"An amount equal to the net proceeds of the issue of the Notes (which proceeds may be converted into other currencies) shall be recorded by IADB in a separate sub-account supporting Eligible Projects. These proceeds will be invested in accordance with the IADB's conservative liquidity investment guidelines until used to support the IADB's financing of Eligible Projects. So long as the Notes are outstanding and the account has a positive balance, the Bank shall direct an amount equal to such net proceeds to its lending projects within the fields of Education, Youth, and Employment, subject to and in accordance with the IADB's policies.

Although Eligible Projects funded by the net proceeds shall be reported on the IADB website on an annual basis, funds shall be reduced from the account on a semi-annual basis by amounts matching the disbursements made during such semi-annual period in respect of Eligible Projects.

"Eligible Projects" means all projects funded, in whole or in part, by IADB that promote early childhood care and education, through formal primary and secondary education, or facilitate labor market placement by improving the transition from school to work through vocational training. Eligible Projects may include projects in Latin America and the Caribbean that target (a) early childhood development, effective teaching and learning among children and youth ("Education Projects"), (b) early childhood care and youth-at-risk programs ("Youth Projects") or (c) labor intermediation systems, job opportunities and workforce skills ("Employment Projects").

Examples of Education Projects include, without limitation:

   --           Early childhood development programs 
   --           Primary education programs, which includes teacher training, bilingual education, literacy, math and science education and school infrastructure 

-- Secondary education programs, which includes programs directed to improving retention and graduation, developing teaching and learning methods and providing assistance to disadvantaged children

   --           Compensatory education programs 
   --           Teacher education and effectiveness programs 
   --           E-education programs 

Examples of Youth Projects include, without limitation:

   --           Support for parents and caregivers to improve quality of child care 

-- Youth-At-Risk programs which support interventions, policy design, and/or impact evaluations to benefit at-risk youth

Examples of Employment Projects include, without limitation:

   --           School-to-Work transition programs 
   --           Vocational and technical education programs 
   --           Human resources and workforce development programs 
   --           Labor intermediation systems 

-- Vocational and Workforce training programs, directed to improving social and labor acclimation for youth, unemployed adults and active workers

The above examples of Education Projects, Youth Projects and Employment Projects are for illustrative purposes only and no assurance can be provided that disbursements for projects with these specific characteristics will be made by IADB during the term of the Notes."

   2.         Additional Investment Considerations: 

There are various 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 Bank may hedge its obligations under the Notes by entering into a swap transaction with the Dealer or one of its affiliates 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.
