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.         United States Federal Income Tax Matters 

The following supplements the discussion under the "Tax Matters" section of the Prospectus regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes, and is subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth therein. Any tax disclosure in the Prospectus or this pricing supplement is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible tax considerations and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular prospective investor. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences to it of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Notes, including the effects of applicable U.S. federal, state, and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws and possible changes in tax laws.

Due to a change in law since the date of the Prospectus, the second paragraph of "-Payments of Interest" under the "United States Holders" section should be updated to read as follows: "Interest paid by the Bank on the Notes constitutes income from sources outside the United States and will generally be "passive" income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit."

Subject to the discussion below regarding amortizable bond premium, a United States holder will generally be taxed on interest on the Notes as ordinary income at the time such holder receives the interest or when it accrues, depending on the holder's method of accounting for tax purposes. However, the portion of the first interest payment on the Notes that represents a return of the 134 days of accrued interest that a United States holder paid as part of the Issue Price of the Notes will not be treated as an interest payment for United States federal income tax purposes, and will accordingly only be taxable to the extent that the U.S. dollar amount received in respect of such accrued interest differs from the U.S. dollar amount paid by the holder in respect of such interest. Any such difference should give rise to United States source foreign currency gain or loss.

Because the Notes are denominated in the Indonesian Rupiah, a United States holder of the Notes will generally be subject to special United States federal income tax rules governing foreign currency transactions, as described in the Prospectus in the last four paragraphs of "-Payments of Interest" under the "United States Holders" section. Pursuant to such rules, a United States holder should determine amounts received with respect to a Note (including principal and interest) by reference to the U.S. dollar value of the Indonesian Rupiah amount of the payment, calculated at the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of payment. The U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder may differ from the amount determined under the preceding sentence, since the U.S. dollar amount of the payment will be determined by reference to the IDR Rate as of the relevant Rate Fixing Date. Accordingly, a United States holder of the Notes may recognize United States source foreign currency gain or loss in an amount equal to such difference (in addition to any foreign currency gain or loss otherwise recognized upon the receipt of an interest payment or a sale or retirement of the Notes). The U.S. Internal Revenue Service could take the position, however, that the amounts received by a United States holder in respect of a Note should be equal to the U.S. dollar amount that is actually received by the United States holder. Prospective United States holders of the Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding these rules.

Additionally, because the purchase price of the Notes exceeds the principal amount of the Notes, a United States holder may elect to treat the excess (after excluding the portion of the purchase price attributable to accrued interest) as amortizable bond premium. A United States holder that makes this election would reduce the amount required to be included in such holder's income each year with respect to interest on the Notes by the amount of amortizable bond premium allocable to that year, based on the Note's yield to maturity. Because the Notes are denominated in the Indonesian Rupiah, a United States holder would compute such holder's amortizable bond premium in units of Indonesian Rupiah, and the United States holder's amortizable bond premium would reduce such holder's interest income in units of Indonesian Rupiah. Gain or loss recognized that is attributable to changes in exchange rates between the time the United States holder's amortized bond premium offsets interest income and the time of the holder's acquisition of the Notes is generally taxable as ordinary income or loss. If a United States holder makes an election to amortize bond premium, the election would apply to all debt instruments, other than debt instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income, that the United States holder holds at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies or that such holder thereafter acquires, and the United States holder may not revoke the election without the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

Upon a sale, redemption or retirement of a Note, a United States holder will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the U.S. dollar amount realized on the sale, redemption or retirement (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such) and (ii) the United States holder's adjusted tax basis in the Note. A United States holder's adjusted tax basis in a Note generally will equal the U.S. dollar cost of the Note to the United States holder. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss except to the extent attributable to changes in exchange rates. Capital gain of individual taxpayers from the sale, redemption or retirement of a Note held for more than one year may be eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of a capital loss is subject to significant limitations.

Treasury Regulations Requiring Disclosure of Reportable Transactions. Treasury regulations require United States taxpayers to report certain transactions that give rise to a loss in excess of certain thresholds (a "Reportable Transaction"). Under these regulations, because the Notes are denominated in a foreign currency, a United States holder (or a non-United States holder that holds the Notes in connection with a U.S. trade or business) that recognizes a loss with respect to the Notes that is characterized as an ordinary loss due to changes in currency exchange rates (under any of the rules discussed above or under the "Tax Matters" section of the Prospectus) would be required to report the loss on IRS Form 8886 (Reportable Transaction Statement) if the loss exceeds the thresholds set forth in the regulations. For individuals and trusts, this loss threshold is $50,000 in any single taxable year. For other types of taxpayers and other types of losses, the thresholds are higher. Holders should consult with their tax advisors regarding any tax filing and reporting obligations that may apply in connection with acquiring, owning and disposing of notes.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets. Owners of "specified foreign financial assets" with an aggregate value in excess of U.S.$50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. "Specified foreign financial assets" may include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-United States persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-United States issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the Notes.

Medicare Tax. A United States holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax (the "Medicare tax") on the lesser of (1) the United States holder's "net investment income" (or "undistributed net investment income" in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder's modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between U.S.$125,000 and U.S.$250,000, depending on the individual's circumstances). A holder's net investment income generally includes its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of Notes, unless such interest income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). United States holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to their income and gains in respect of their investment in the Notes.

   3.         Additional Investment Considerations: 

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.

There are various risks associated with the Notes including, but not limited to, exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk. Investors should consult with their own financial, legal and accounting 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. Holders of the Notes should also consult with their professional tax advisors regarding tax laws applicable to them.

Payment of each Interest Amount and the Redemption Amount will be based on the IDR Rate, which is a measure of the rate of exchange between the Indonesian Rupiah and the USD. Currency exchange rates are volatile and will affect the holder's return. In addition, the government of Indonesia can from time to time intervene in the foreign exchange market. These interventions or other governmental actions could adversely affect the value of the Notes, as well as the yield (in USD terms) on the Notes and the amount payable at maturity or upon acceleration. Even in the absence of governmental action directly affecting currency exchange rates, political or economic developments in Indonesia or elsewhere could lead to significant and sudden changes in the exchange rate between the Indonesian Rupiah and the USD.

The Indonesian Rupiah is an emerging market currency. Emerging market currencies may be subject to particularly substantial volatility, as well as to government actions including currency controls, devaluations and other matters which could materially and adversely affect the value of the Notes.

The methodologies for determining the IDR Rate may result in a Redemption Amount (or Early Redemption Amount, as the case may be) of the Notes, or an Interest Amount on the Notes, being significantly less than anticipated or less than what an alternative methodology for determining the IDR-USD exchange rate would yield.
