ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, using a “shelf” registration process. Under the shelf process, we may from time to time sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of USD 3,500,000,000 or the equivalent of this amount in foreign currencies or foreign currency units.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of our business and of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of the securities in that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement before purchasing our securities. If the information in any prospectus supplement differs from the information in this prospectus or in the registration statement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.

The registration statement, any post-effective amendment to the registration statement and their various exhibits contain additional information about Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”), the securities we may issue and other matters. All of these documents may be inspected at the offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

You should rely only on the information in this prospectus or in other documents to which we have referred you in making your investment decision. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. The information in this prospectus may only be accurate on the date specified on the cover of this document.

Except as otherwise specified, all amounts in this prospectus are expressed in United States Dollars (“dollars,” “$,” “U.S.$”, “USD”, “US Dollars” or “U.S. dollars”). All references to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CAF.

Certain amounts that appear in this prospectus may not sum because of rounding adjustments.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus may contain forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts are statements about our beliefs and expectations and may include forward-looking statements. These statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “should” and words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events and actual financial and other results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on them. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this prospectus, such as the effects of economic or political turmoil in one or more of our shareholder countries.

CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO

CAF was established in 1968 pursuant to the Agreement establishing the Corporación Andina de Fomento (the “Constitutive Agreement”), an international treaty, and seeks to foster and promote economic development within Latin America and the Caribbean. CAF is a multilateral financial institution, the principal shareholders of which are the current contracting parties to the Constitutive Agreement — the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Argentine Republic, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, each of which is referred to in this prospectus as a full member shareholder country and which are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the full member shareholder countries. At December 31, 2020, the full member shareholder countries of CAF collectively accounted for 90.80% of the nominal value of our paid-in capital. The other shareholder countries of CAF are Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain, each of which is referred to in this prospectus as an associated shareholder country and which are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the associated shareholder countries. At December 31, 2020, the associated shareholder countries collectively accounted for 9.15% of the nominal value of our paid-in capital. Our full member shareholder countries and our associated shareholder countries are collectively referred to as our shareholder countries. Our shares are also held by 13 financial institutions based in the full member shareholder countries, which collectively accounted for 0.05% of the nominal value of the paid-in capital at December 31, 2020.

We commenced operations in 1970. Our headquarters are in Caracas, and we have offices in Asunción, Bogotá, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Madrid, Mexico City, Montevideo, Panama City, Port of Spain and Quito.

We offer financial and related services to the governments of, and public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures operating in, our shareholder countries. Primarily, we provide short-, medium- and long-term loans and guarantees; to a lesser extent, we also participate as a limited equity investor in corporations and investment funds, and provide technical and financial assistance, as well as administrative services for certain regional funds.

The Constitutive Agreement generally delegates to our Board of Directors the power to establish and direct our financial, credit and economic policies. Our Board of Directors has adopted a formal statement of our financial and operational policies, the (Políticas de Gestión). These operational policies provide our management with guidance as to significant financial and operational issues, and they may not be amended by the Board of Directors in any manner inconsistent with the Constitutive Agreement.

CAF promotes a sustainable development model through credit, non-refundable resources, and support in the technical and financial structuring of projects in the public and private sectors of Latin America.

CAF offers financial and related services to the governments of its stockholder countries, as well as their public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures. CAF’s principal activity is to provide short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities in stockholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds owned and sponsored by other countries and organizations, destined to finance programs agreed upon with donor countries and organizations which are in line with CAF’s policies and strategies.

CAF raises funds to finance its operations from sources both within and outside its stockholder countries.

LEGAL STATUS OF CAF

As an international treaty organization, we are a legal entity under public international law. We have our own legal personality, which permits us to enter into contracts, acquire and dispose of property and take legal action. The Constitutive Agreement has been ratified by the legislature in each of the full member shareholder countries. We have been granted the following immunities and privileges in each full member shareholder country:

(1) immunity from expropriation, search, requisition, confiscation, seizure, sequestration, attachment, retention or any other form of forceful seizure by reason of executive or administrative action and immunity from enforcement of judicial proceedings by any party prior to final judgment;

(2) free convertibility and transferability of our assets;

(3) exemption from all taxes and tariffs on income, properties or assets, and from any liability involving payment, withholding or collection of any taxes; and

(4) exemption from any restrictions, regulations, controls or moratoria with respect to our property or assets.

In addition, we have entered into agreements with each of our associated shareholder countries. Pursuant to these agreements, each country has agreed to extend to us, with respect to our activities in and concerning that country, immunities and privileges similar to those we have been granted in the full member shareholder countries. We may also enjoy immunities and privileges under the laws of countries other than the full member shareholder countries and associated shareholder countries by virtue of our status as an international treaty organization or the identity of our shareholders.

The governments of some of our shareholder countries have historically taken actions, such as nationalizations and exchange controls that would be expected to adversely affect ordinary commercial lenders. In light of the immunities and privileges discussed above, we have not been adversely affected by these actions.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

General

As of March 31, 2021, our total authorized capital is USD 15.0 billion, of which USD 10.0 billion is ordinary capital shares and USD 5.0 billion is callable capital shares.

In November 2015, the Board of Directors approved a new general paid-in capital increase for a total amount of USD 4.5 billion, of which USD 4.0 billion is available for Series “A” and “B” stockholders and USD 500 million is available in respect of such capital contributions for Series “C” stockholders. Throughout 2016 and 2017, our management signed subscription agreements with various stockholders. The capital contributions related to this increase began in 2017 and are expected to be paid in full by the end of 2025.

Our shares are divided into Series “A” shares, Series “B” shares and Series “C” shares.

Series “A” shares may be owned only by the full member shareholder countries (as defined below). Each full member shareholder country owns one Series “A” share, which is held by the government, either directly or through a government-designated social or public purpose institution. Each of the full member shareholder countries owning a Series “A” share is entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director to our Board of Directors.

Series “B” shares are currently owned by the full member shareholder countries, and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting approximately 0.05% of our outstanding shares, which are owned by 13 private sector financial institutions in the full member shareholder countries. We offered and sold Series “B” shares to private sector financial institutions in 1989 to obtain the benefit of their views in the deliberations of our Board of Directors. As owners of Series “B” shares, the full member shareholder countries collectively are entitled to elect five additional Directors and five additional Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 13 private sector financial institutions collectively are entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director.

Series “C” shares are currently owned by eight associated shareholder countries: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. We make available Series “C” shares available for subscription by countries that are not full member shareholder countries to strengthen relationships between these countries and the full member shareholder countries. Ownership of Series “C” shares makes these countries eligible to receive loans from us. Holders of Series “C” shares collectively are entitled to elect two Directors and two Alternate Directors.

Under the Constitutive Agreement, Series “A” shares may be held by or transferred only to governments or government-designated social or public purpose institutions. Series “B” shares also may be held by or transferred to such entities and, in addition, may be held by or transferred to private entities or individuals in the full member shareholder countries, except that no more than 49% of the Series “B” shares within any country may be held by private entities or individuals. Series “C” shares may be held by or transferred to public or private entities or individuals outside the full member shareholder countries. Unless a shareholder country withdraws, Series “A” and Series “B” shares may only be transferred within such country.

The Constitutive Agreement (i) allows, under certain circumstances, Latin American and Caribbean countries, including those that are currently associated shareholder countries, to own Series “A” shares and become full member shareholder countries, and (ii) includes a formal purpose of supporting sustainable development and economic integration within all of Latin America and the Caribbean, as opposed to within only the Andean region. Consequently, on March 17, 2009, our Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the terms and conditions precedent by which Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay could become contracting parties to the Constitutive Agreement, could become full member shareholder countries and could come to own Series “A” shares. In general, in order to become a full member country of CAF, a country must (i) subscribe, directly or indirectly, for one Series “A” share, (ii) exchange all of its ordinary and callable Series “C” capital shares for Series “B” share equivalents, (iii) meet any conditions for its accession as determined by the Shareholders’ General Meeting, and (iv) deposit its instrument of adhesion with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The country is deemed to have become a full member country of CAF 30 days after the Shareholders’ General Meeting determines that the conditions for its adhesion have been complied with, including the depositing of the instrument of adhesion. As of the date of this prospectus, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay have ceased to be Series “C” shareholder countries, have adhered to the Constitutive Agreement and now possess Series “A” shares as full member shareholder countries.

Table of Contents

Note: All figures as of March 31, 2021, that refer to “full member shareholder countries” include only the Republic of Argentina, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. All figures as of March 31, 2021 that refer to “associated shareholder countries” encompass all other shareholder countries. References to “shareholder countries” include both the full member shareholder countries and the associated shareholder countries.

Paid-in Capital and Unpaid Capital

At March 31, 2021, our subscribed paid-in and unpaid capital (excluding callable capital) was USD 6.3 billion, of which USD 5.4 billion was paid-in capital and USD 0.9 billion was unpaid capital. The unpaid capital is receivable in installments according to the agreements subscribed with the shareholder countries. Over the years, we have had several increases of subscribed capital.

Since 1990, capital contributions made to CAF (valor patrimonial) comprise a premium paid on each Series “B” and Series “C” share purchased and the nominal USD 5,000 per share value established by our by-laws. The premium component of valor patrimonial is determined at the beginning of each subscription and applies to all payments under that subscription.

Reserves

Article 42 of the Constitutive Agreement requires that at least 10% of our net income in each year be allocated to a mandatory reserve until that reserve amounts to 50% of subscribed capital. The mandatory reserve can be used only to offset losses. The mandatory reserve is an accounting reserve. We also maintain a general reserve to cover contingent events and as a source of funding of last resort in the event of temporary illiquidity or when funding in the international markets is not available or is impractical.

At March 31, 2021, our reserves totaled USD 3.7 billion. At such date, the mandatory reserve pursuant to Article N° 42 of the Constitutive Agreement amounted to USD 0.6 billion, or 7.3%, of subscribed paid-in and capital subscriptions receivable, and the general reserve amounted to USD 3.1 billion.

Callable Capital

In addition to our subscribed paid-in and un-paid capital, our shareholders have subscribed to callable capital totaling USD 1.6 billion at March 31, 2021. Our callable capital may be called by the Board of Directors to meet our obligations only to the extent that we are unable to meet such obligations with our own resources. For further information regarding subscribed callable capital, see Note 16 (“Stockholders’ Equity”) to CAF´s audited financial statements in this prospectus.

The Constitutive Agreement provides that the obligation of shareholders to pay for the shares of callable capital, upon demand by the Board of Directors, continues until such callable capital is paid in full. Thus, we consider the obligations of shareholder countries to pay for their respective callable capital subscriptions to be binding obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the respective governments. If the callable capital were to be called, the Constitutive Agreement requires that the call be prorated among shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus.

Market Overview and Portfolio Trends

During the last year, important global developments have occurred, including the (i) COVID-19 global pandemic, and (ii) low growth in Latin America. The forthcoming replacement of the London Interbank offered rates (“LIBOR”) with one or more new reference rates by 2023 is another development that CAF is monitoring carefully and analyzing for potential impacts on its business.

The developments mentioned above have not adversely affected our results of operations; however, they have resulted in a downward adjustment of the external risk rating of some of our sovereign borrowers, including Argentina and Ecuador during 2020 and Colombia during 2021, which led to a corresponding increase in our allowance for loan losses for non-sovereign borrowers during 2020, according to the methodology described in “—Income Statement—Provision for Loan Losses” below. See Note 2(i) and Note 6 of the audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan loss calculations.

Both 2020 and 2019 were characterized by growth in our loan portfolio as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, principally through additional paid-in capital contributions by several of our existing shareholder countries, as well as the issuance of shares to new shareholder countries. These two main drivers led our loan portfolio to grow 6.0% in 2020 and 5.5% in 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, our loan portfolio was distributed by country as follows: Ecuador — 14.7%, Argentina — 13.3%, Venezuela — 11.4%, Colombia — 10.0%, Brazil — 9.4%, Bolivia — 9.1%, Panama —7.4%, Peru — 5.5%, Paraguay — 3.9%, Trinidad & Tobago — 3.8%, Uruguay — 3.5%, Mexico — 3.2%, Costa Rica — 2.0%, Chile — 1.6%, Barbados — 0.6%, and the Dominican Republic — 0.5%.

Notwithstanding the increasing presence of other state-sponsored development banks in the regions in which we operate, we do not expect that the growth of our loan portfolio will be materially affected by the activities of other development banks in the region, since the financing needs of our shareholder countries exceed the current supply of lending resources. We believe that activities of other development banks are complementary to our lending operations.

LIBOR Replacement

The replacement of LIBOR with a new reference rate or rates is an industry risk due to the implications it has on the assets as well as the liabilities of financial institutions. In that regard, CAF has been closely following the recent developments and announcements from groups and organizations that are most closely involved with the phasing out of LIBOR that affect the loan and derivatives markets, including the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and its recent publication of the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol, to which CAF adhered in January 2021. In addition, CAF has established an interdepartmental task force in charge of preparing the institution for the change in reference rates, including measures such as the incorporation of fallback provisions on loans to mitigate any possible impact LIBOR replacement may have.

On the funding side, CAF has ceased issuance of Floating Rate Notes (FRN) linked to LIBOR, and all outstanding LIBOR FRNs (totaling USD 100 million) will reset before the first half of 2023.

Recent Developments Relating to Sanctions

The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) administers sanctions in respect of the Government of Venezuela and certain Venezuelan-related individuals and entities, including certain Venezuelan government officials. CAF is not a U.S. Person and has not been sanctioned; however, the following discussion of the current sanctions administered by OFAC is included because Venezuela is a member country and minority shareholder of CAF, with which CAF has had transactional activity, including loans to Venezuela.

With regard to any individual or entity who has been added to OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (“SDN List”) under Venezuela-related sanctions, U.S. persons may not make to such listed persons, or receive from such listed persons, any contribution or provision of funds, goods or services. The OFAC-administered sanctions also prohibit, among other things and with certain limited exceptions, (a) transactions by a U.S. person or within the United States relating to new debt with a maturity greater than

 

12


Table of Contents

30 days or new equity, of the Government of Venezuela, bonds issued by the Government of Venezuela prior to August 25, 2017, and dividend payments or other distributions of profits to the Government of Venezuela from its controlled entities, and (b) direct or indirect purchases by a U.S. person or within the United States of securities from the Government of Venezuela (other than new debt with a maturity of 30 days or less). For purposes of these sanctions, certain amendments to outstanding debt of the Government of Venezuela, such as an extension of the maturity date, could be considered a “new debt” or other prohibited extension of credit. Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, CAF will use the net proceeds of the sale of the securities to fund its lending operations. CAF will not earmark the proceeds of particular issuances of debt securities offered hereby to fund specific loan commitments or purchase specific investments. Accordingly, CAF believes that purchasers of the debt securities offered hereby will not acquire a direct or indirect interest in our loans to Venezuela, or any other specific assets of CAF, for purposes of the OFAC sanctions.

Although Venezuela is a member country and minority shareholder of CAF and two Venezuelan nationals designated by Venezuela serve as directors on the Board of Directors of CAF, neither the Government of Venezuela nor any member of the Board of Directors (whether or not a Venezuelan national) exercises control over CAF, has any operational or management role in CAF, or has any authority to negotiate on behalf of CAF or make binding commitments on behalf of CAF.

Although we generally are not required to comply with the OFAC sanctions outlined above because we are not a U.S. person and do not operate in or from the United States, we also transact in the ordinary course with various commercial counterparties in the United States that are required to comply with the sanctions. Some of these U.S. counterparties may serve as correspondent banks or as other intermediaries with involvement in funds flows in respect of our loan operations, including our loans to the Government of Venezuela. In addition, U.S. persons may purchase our debt securities. We have been monitoring and will continue to monitor OFAC sanctions and restrictions thereunder as applied to U.S. persons insofar as such sanctions and restrictions may have an effect on our business and operations.

The OFAC sanctions on Venezuela, and any additional sanctions that may be imposed in the future, could make it more difficult for Venezuela to service or renegotiate its outstanding debt, including its outstanding loans from CAF.

In light of the November 2017 downgrade in Venezuela’s long-term foreign ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, to selective default (“SD”) from CC and to restricted default (“RD”) from C, respectively, we increased our provisions for loan losses with respect to loans made to Venezuela to USD 28.3 million as of March 31, 2019 from the USD 19.8 million reported in September 2017. In 2020, as a result of the change in the methodology described in “— Income Statement— Provision for Loan Losses” below, the provision for loan losses for Venezuela was USD 0.0. See Note 2(i) and Note 6 of the audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan loss calculations.

On December 29, 2017, we granted to the Central Bank of Venezuela a credit facility in a total amount of USD 400 million. Drawings under the facility are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the absence of any overdue amounts owed to CAF by Venezuela or the Central Bank of Venezuela. As of September 30, 2018, the credit facility had been disbursed in full.

On December 14, 2018, we granted to the Central Bank of Venezuela a credit facility in a total amount of USD 500 million. Drawings under the facility are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the absence of any overdue amounts owed to CAF by Venezuela or the Central Bank of Venezuela. As of December 2019, the credit facility had been disbursed in full.

On January 10, 2019, President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for his second term as President of Venezuela following the election held in May 2018. The National Assembly of Venezuela stated that the results of the May 2018 election were invalid and declared Juan Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela, a declaration that the Supreme Tribunal of Justice in Venezuela declared unconstitutional. On January 23, 2019, the U.S. government recognized Mr. Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela. On January 25, 2019, President Trump signed an Executive Order amending prior economic sanctions targeting the Maduro government, and on January 28, 2019, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PDVSA”) and certain of its affiliates were designated under Executive Order 13850 and added to the SDN List. U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo certified the authority of Mr. Guaidó to receive and control certain property in accounts of the Government of Venezuela or Central Bank of Venezuela held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any other U.S. insured banks, in accordance with Section 25B of the U.S. Federal Reserve Act.

Since January 23, 2019, a number of other countries, including some countries that are CAF shareholders, have recognized Mr. Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela. On December 6, 2020, parliamentary elections took place in Venezuela without the participation of opposition political parties. The elections resulted in a National Assembly controlled by the ruling party’s Political Coalition (Gran Polo Patriotico), which won 256 out of 277 seats. The newly elected National Assembly (the “2020 Assembly”) began its functions on January 5, 2021, for a five-year term. The U.S., the European Union and the Lima Group did not recognize the election results as valid. The former National Assembly members, elected in 2015 and led by Juan Guaidó (the “2015 Assembly”), created a temporary legal framework, called the Estatuto para la Transición, whereunder they established the 2015 Assembly as a temporary body (Comisión Delegada) to continue fulfilling parliamentary functions. On May 5, 2021, after being designated by the 2020 Assembly, a new National Electoral Council was sworn in. The new National Electoral Council called for regional elections to select state governors and mayors to take place on November 21, 2021. The European Union is currently assessing the possibility of observing the November 2021 election. The main opposition political parties have not yet confirmed whether they will participate in these elections. In May 2021, the Maduro regime and opposition political parties agreed to participate in a negotiation initiative mediated by Norway. CAF is evaluating the potential impact of these developments on its business and operations.

CAF does not have direct lending relationships with PDVSA or its subsidiaries. The sanctions on PDVSA and its affiliates, however, may adversely affect the ability of the Maduro government to receive payment for PDVSA’s production and sale of oil and related products and may therefore adversely affect macroeconomic conditions in Venezuela. As a result, Venezuela may find it more difficult to service its outstanding debt, including its outstanding loans from CAF.

On March 22, 2019, OFAC designated the Economic and Social Development Bank of Venezuela (“BANDES”) under Executive Order 13850 for operating in the financial sector of the Venezuelan economy and added it to the SDN List. As a result of that designation, all property and interests in property of BANDES, including any entity that is owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by BANDES, located in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons, are blocked and must be reported to OFAC by persons subject to OFAC jurisdiction. BANDES is a “B” shareholder of CAF and holds approximately 8 percent of our equity. The designation of BANDES therefore does not extend to CAF. Moreover, CAF is not a U.S. person and, therefore, the current sanctions regulations do not prevent CAF from engaging in transactions or dealings with BANDES that occur outside of U.S. jurisdiction. CAF continues to maintain a control framework aimed at verifying its counterparties against OFAC’s SDN List and other applicable sanctions lists.

On April 17, 2019, OFAC designated the Central Bank of Venezuela under Executive Order 13850 for operating in the financial sector of the Venezuelan economy and added it to the SDN List. At the same time, OFAC issued General License 20 (GL 20), which authorizes certain transactions and activities that are for the official business of certain international organizations, including CAF. OFAC has amended the relevant general license twice since April 2019, most recently on January 21, 2020 with the issuance of GL 20B. GL 20B authorizes CAF to conduct transactions and activities involving the Central Bank of Venezuela to the extent they are subject to U.S. jurisdiction and are for our official business, to the same extent as was permitted prior to the designation of the Central Bank of Venezuela. Accordingly, the designation of the Central Bank of Venezuela has not had a material impact on CAF or its relationship with the Central Bank of Venezuela.

On August 5, 2019, President Donald Trump signed Executive Order 13884, which blocks all property and interests in property of the Government of Venezuela that are in or come within the United States or the possession or control of a U.S. person. For purposes of the Executive Order, the term “Government of Venezuela” is defined to include, among others, any person who has acted or purported to act directly or indirectly for or on behalf of the Government of Venezuela or of any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, including the Central Bank of Venezuela. The CAF directors appointed by Venezuela as a Series A shareholder and by BANDES as a Series B Shareholder may be considered to fall within the definition of “Government of Venezuela” in the Executive Order. On August 6, 2019, OFAC issued General License 20A, authorizing official activities of certain international organizations, including CAF, involving the Government of Venezuela. Although GL 20A and GL 20B cover any Government of Venezuela person that is blocked solely pursuant to Executive Order 13884, they do not authorize transactions or dealings with any person other than the Central Bank of Venezuela whose property and interests in property are blocked under Executive Order 13850. CAF has not observed any material adverse effects on CAF following the issuance of Executive Order 13884, and in light of the continues validity of GL 20B, CAF does not anticipate that the blocking of the Government of Venezuela will have a material adverse effect on CAF in the future.

On March 26, 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that it had indicted President Nicolas Maduro and 14 other current and former Venezuelan officials on narco-terrorism, corruption, drug trafficking and other criminal charges. CAF has not observed any material adverse effect on CAF following the indictments of these Venezuelan officials, and does not believe that these indictments will have a material adverse impact on CAF in the future.

Other Recent Developments

On March 31, 2020, CAF implemented the Support Program for the Liquidity Management in Exceptional Situations (the “Program”), as approved by CAF’s Shareholders Assembly on March 3, 2020. The Program allows CAF to repurchase the shares of a shareholder country that fulfills the requirements of the Program and apply the proceeds to that country’s debt service. Pursuant to the Program, CAF notified Venezuela that it met the necessary conditions and subsequently executed the first transaction by repurchasing a total of 50,079 shares totaling USD 711.1 million and applying that amount to repay due and overdue amounts of principal and interest and deducting the amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital for USD 250.4 million and USD 460.7 million respectively, as of March 31, 2021. As a result of the Program, as of the date of this prospectus, Venezuela is current with its debt obligations with CAF.

On March 3, 2020, CAF’s Shareholder Assembly approved the modification of the Constitutive Agreement, specifically articles 23 and 24. This modification allows for the possibility of up to two additional directors to be placed on the board representing Series “C” shareholders, which currently elect two directors. In order for an additional director to be elected by the series “C” shareholders as a result of this change, the subscription and payment for new series “C” shares must represent an increase of 1.5% of CAF’s subscribed and paid-in capital equity in comparison with the total subscribed and paid-in capital at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies

General

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us in some cases to use estimates and assumptions that may affect our reported results and disclosures. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 (“Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus. Some of the more significant accounting policies we use to present our financial results involve the use of accounting estimates that we consider to be critical because: (1) they require significant management judgment and assumptions about matters that are complex and inherently uncertain; and (2) the use of a different estimate or a change in estimate could have a material impact on our reported results of operations or financial condition.

Specifically, the estimates we use to determine the allowance for loan losses are critical accounting estimates.

Additionally, other important estimates related to the preparation of our financial statements are those related to revenue recognition and the valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments. The fair values for some financial assets and liabilities recorded in our financial statements are determined according to the procedures established by the accounting pronouncement ASC 820. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not changed or reclassified any asset or liability from one level to another pursuant to the hierarchy reflected in ASC 820, thereby maintaining consistency in the application of accounting principles in this matter.

Statements of Comprehensive Income

Interest Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our interest income was USD 165.8 million, representing a decrease of USD 119.6 million, or -41.9%, compared to interest income of USD 285.4 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rates charged on loans that accrue interest based on six-month LIBOR and a spread differential and a decrease in the fair value of trading securities of the liquidity portfolio during the first quarter of 2020 given the volatility in the global capital markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Average market interest rates were lower in the first three months of 2021, when six-month LIBOR averaged 0.22%, than in the first three months of 2020, when six-month LIBOR averaged 0.96%.

2020, 2019 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our interest income was USD 1,081.2 million, representing a decrease of USD 530.6 million, or -32.9%, compared to interest income of USD 1,611.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease resulted primarily from lower interest rates in 2020. Average market interest rates were lower in 2020 than in 2019; in 2020, the six-month LIBOR averaged 0.69% compared with 2.32% in 2019. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was USD 1,611.8 million, representing an increase of USD 301.6 million, or 23.0%, compared to interest income of USD 1,310.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase resulted principally from an increase in the interest income generated by the growth in our loan and investment portfolios.

Interest Expense

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our interest expense was USD 98.5 million, representing a decrease of USD 95.4 million, or -49.2%, compared to interest expense of USD 193.9 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This decrease resulted from lower overall funding costs due to the decrease in six-month LIBOR. Average market interest rates were lower in the first three months of 2021, when six-month LIBOR averaged 0.22%, than in the first three months of 2020, when six-month LIBOR averaged 0.96%.

2020, 2019 and 2018. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was USD 595.2 million, representing a decrease of USD 355.9 million, or -37.4%, from our interest expense of USD 951.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease resulted primarily from lower funding requirements related to a decrease in funding costs associated with a decrease in six-month LIBOR. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 9.9% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was USD 951.1 million, representing an increase of USD 119.9 million, or 14.4%, from our interest expense of USD 831.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in bond issuances during 2019 to fund the growth in our loan portfolio. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 4.5% for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net Interest Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our net interest income was USD 67.2 million, representing a decrease of USD 24.2 million, or -26.5%, compared to net interest income of USD 91.4 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This decrease resulted from lower average market rates as well as a decrease in interest-earning assets in comparison to financial liabilities. The net interest income margin was 0.63% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 0.95% for the corresponding period in 2020.

2020, 2019 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our net interest income was USD 486.0 million, representing a decrease of USD 174.7 million, or -26.4%, over net interest income of USD 660.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This decrease resulted from a decrease in interest rates explained above. Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was USD 660.7 million, representing an increase of USD 181.7 million, or 37.9%, over net interest income of USD 479.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase resulted from an increase in the loan portfolio, which were partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in our bond issuances. Our net interest income margin was 1.17% in 2020, compared to 1.69% in 2019 and 1.36% in 2018.

Provision (Credit) for Loan Losses

We adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, along with several other subsequent codifications updates related to accounting credit losses, on January 2020 following the modified retrospective approach. As of March 31, 2021, the applicable Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) was applied to assets such as loans measured at amortized cost basis, as well as off-balance sheet undisbursed loan commitments and financial guarantees. As a result of the adoption, there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to the 2020 opening retained earnings. The current allowance for expected credit losses is maintained at a level we believes to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the date of the financial statements and consider available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows including a combination of internal and external information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. A loan is considered impaired when, based on

currently available information and events, there exists the probability that CAF will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original contract. Loans whose terms are modified in a trouble debt restructuring, generally, already will have been identified as impaired. Our management individually evaluates the compliance of the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status. See Notes 2(g), 2(h) and 2(i) of the audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan loss calculations.

The provisions in the periods described below reflect management’s estimates for both general and specific provisions. The general allowance for loan losses is estimated considering the credit risk exposure, probability of default and loss given default, which represents our anticipated loss in the event of a borrower default and which is based on external data provided by risk rating agencies, recognizing such effects in profit or loss for the period. We establish a specific allowance for loan losses for impaired loans. A loan is considered as impaired when, based on currently available information and events, there exists the probability that we will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original loan contract. Loans whose terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, generally, already will have been identified as impaired. Our management individually evaluates the compliance of the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of the restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status. See Notes 2h. and 2i of CAF´s audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan loss calculations.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a credit for loan losses of USD 0.5 million, compared to a credit for loan losses of USD 1.5 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This was due to a decrease in the outstanding amount of the loan portfolio during the corresponding three month period in 2021.

2020, 2019 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a provision for loan losses of USD 2.9 million, representing a decrease of USD 49.5 million, or -94.42%, compared with the provision for loan losses of USD 52.4 million for 2019. This decrease was mainly due to the change on the calculation methodology for provisions (ASU 2016-13) and the reduction in loan loss provisions related to sovereign credit risk. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded a provision for loan losses of USD 52.4 million, representing an increase of USD 39.2 million, or 297.2%, compared with the provision for loan losses of USD 13.2 million for 2018. This increase was mainly due to a deterioration in credit ratings of some of CAF’s shareholder countries.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income consists principally of commissions, dividends arising from equity investments not accounted for using the equity method, its corresponding share of earnings or losses on equity investments, which are accounted for using the equity method, and other income.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, CAF’s non-interest income was USD 15.4 million, representing an increase of USD 9.5 million, or 161.5%, compared to non-interest income of USD 5.9 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This increase was mainly due to unrealized changes in fair value related to equity investments

2020, 2019 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our total non-interest income was USD 17.7 million, representing an increase of USD 3.2 million, or 22.3%, from total non-interest income of USD 14.5 million for the previous year. This increase was mainly due to changes in the fair value and dividends related to equity investments. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our total non-interest income was USD 14.5 million, representing a decrease of USD 15.4 million, or -51.5%, from total non-interest income of USD 29.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease was mainly due to lower unrealized increase in the fair value and lower dividends related to equity investments.

Non-Interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses, representing 89.8% and 70.7% of total non-interest expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our non-interest expenses were USD 49.8 million, representing a decrease of USD 3.8 million, or -7.0%, compared to total non-interest expenses of USD 53.6 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in provisions for contingent liabilities.

Table of Contents

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, administrative expenses were USD 44.7 million, representing an increase of USD 6.8 million over administrative expenses of USD 37.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020. This increase resulted principally from several corporate actions, such as the decentralization process of employees and new hirings.

Our non-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses, representing 79.9% and 95.1% of total non-interest expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

2020, 2019 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our total non-interest expenses were USD 186.9 million, representing an increase of USD 24.1 million, or 14.8%, over total non-interest expenses of USD 162.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our total non-interest expenses were USD 162.7 million, representing a decrease of USD 22.1 million, or -12.0%, compared to total non-interest expenses of USD 184.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, administrative expenses were USD 149.3 million, or 0.3% of our average total assets, representing a decrease of USD 5.5 million over administrative expenses of USD 154.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease resulted principally from several corporate actions. For the year ended December 31, 2019, administrative expenses were USD 154.8 million, or 0.4% of our average total assets, representing a decrease of USD 3.5 million compared to administrative expenses of USD 158.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Net Income

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, our net income was USD 40.7 million, representing an decrease of USD 9.8 million, or -19.3%, compared to net income of USD 50.5 million for the corresponding period in 2020. This decrease is mainly due to a decrease in interest income as a result of lower average market rates that generated lower income in our loan portfolio and investment portfolio when compared with the corresponding period in 2020.

2020, 2019 and 2018. In March 2014, the Stockholders’ Assembly agreed, effective 2015, to approve a maximum amount to be contributed to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year and to recognize these contributions as expenses. In 2020, we recognized USD 72.0 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of USD 239.8 million, representing a decrease of USD 85.8 million, or -26.3%, compared to net income of USD 325.6 million for 2019. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in interest income as a result of lower average market rates that generated lower income in our loan portfolio and investment portfolio. In 2019, we recognized USD 129.2 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of USD 325.6 million, representing an increase of USD 102.0 million, or 45.6%, compared to net income of USD 223.6 million for 2018. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in our loan portfolio and an increase in the returns of our investment portfolio. For more information, see Note 22 (“Special Funds and Other Funds Under Management”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.

Income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2020 was USD 313.9 million, representing a decrease of USD 146.2 million, or -31.8%, compared to income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of USD 460.1 million for 2019. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease in non-interest income and the decrease in interest income. Net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2019 was USD 460.1 million, representing an increase of USD 149.2 million, or 48.0%, compared to income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of USD 310.9 million for 2018. This increase is mainly due to the increase in non-interest income, increase in interest income and a decrease in loan loss provisions.

Commitments and Contingencies

We enter into commitments and contingencies in the normal course of our business to facilitate our business and objectives. Commitments and contingencies include: (1) credit agreements subscribed and pending disbursements, (2) lines and letters of credit for foreign trade, (3) equity investment agreements subscribed and (4) partial credit guarantees. For further discussion of these arrangements, see Note 21 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.

Strategy and Capital Resources

Our business strategy is to provide financing for projects, trade and investment in the shareholder countries. Management expects our assets to grow in the future, which will increase our need for additional funding. Likewise, maturing debt obligations will need to be replaced. In addition to scheduled capital increases, management anticipates a need to increase funds raised in the international capital markets and to maintain funding through borrowings from multilateral and other financial institutions. While the substantial majority of our equity will continue to be held by full member shareholder countries, we intend to continue offering equity participation to associated shareholder countries through the issuances of Series “C” shares to such countries. See “Capital Structure.

We intend to continue our programs to foster sustainable growth within the shareholder countries, and to increase our support for the private sector within their markets, either directly or through financial intermediaries. See “Operations of CAF.

OPERATIONS OF CAF

Our purpose is to foster and promote economic development, social development and integration within the shareholder countries through the efficient use of financial resources in conjunction with both private sector and public sector entities. To accomplish our objective, we primarily engage in short-, medium- and long-term loans and guarantees. To a lesser extent, we make limited equity investments in funds and companies, and provide technical and financial assistance, as well as administrative services for certain regional funds.

We also provide lending for projects in associated shareholder countries, including but not limited to projects that promote trade or integration with full member shareholder countries.

Business Management of CAF

Our business management is divided into two broad functions: client relationship management and financial management.

Client Relationship Management

Our client relationship management function is conducted by a group of relationship managers and sector and product specialists who are responsible for the development, structuring, appraisal and implementation of our lending activities. Clients are identified through direct contact, referrals from our representative offices and referrals from third parties such as shareholders, multilateral institutions, international financial institutions and other clients.

Our client relationship management function is currently fulfilled by the following four departments, each headed by a Vice President:

 

   

Country Programs, which is responsible for our relationships with governments, public sector corporations and financial institutions and for the development of a global approach to business activities in each of the shareholder countries;

 

   

Infrastructure, which is responsible for the financing of public and private infrastructure projects and the analysis of public policies within the different development sectors;

 

   

Private Sector, which is responsible for our relationships with private sector corporations and financial institutions; and

 

   

Social Development, which is responsible for financings and investments in social areas and in micro, small and medium size enterprises.

The client relationship management group is also responsible for reviewing and developing lending policies and procedures and for monitoring the quality of the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis. In these duties, the client relationship management group is assisted by our Credit Administration Office and our Corporate Comptroller Office.

Financial Management

Our financial management group is responsible for managing our funded debt, as well as our liquid assets. This group is responsible for developing, structuring, appraising and implementing our borrowing activities. It is also responsible for reviewing and developing policies and procedures for the monitoring of our financial well-being and for the proper management of liquidity. The financial management group is headed by the Vice President of Finance.

The asset distribution group is a part of the financial management group, and it has two basic responsibilities:

(1) structuring “A/B” loan transactions in which we loan a portion of the total amount and other financial institutions loan

the remainder; and

(2) selling loans to international banks interested in increasing their exposure in the shareholder countries.

The staff of our financial management group works in close coordination with our client relationship managers. Our client relationship management group and financial management group are supported by the financial control and budget, human resources, information systems and legal departments.

Loan Portfolio

We extend medium-term and long-term loans to finance both public sector and private sector projects in the shareholder countries, either directly to a project or through a financial institution in a shareholder country that lends the funds to the appropriate project. To a lesser extent, we also provide loans to finance trade by and among the shareholder countries. Loans may be used for any component of a project, subject to exceptions relating to, among other things, the acquisition of land and the payment of taxes. We endeavor to concentrate our lending activities on national and multinational economic development projects, especially those involving electricity, gas and water supply, transport or communications in two or more shareholder countries and those that generate foreign exchange.

We provide credit lines to financial institutions in the shareholder countries. The purpose of these credit lines is to enable these institutions to finance projects that fall within our overall objectives, but that are not sufficiently large to justify CAF being directly involved in the project. The relevant financial institutions are thereby provided with funds that enable them to strengthen their financial resources within parameters previously agreed to with CAF. Under such multi-sectoral credit lines, we take the credit risk of the financial intermediary and also have recourse to the underlying borrowers. The financial intermediaries are responsible for repayment of their loans from CAF regardless of whether the underlying borrower repays the financial intermediary.

We endeavor to strengthen trade by and among shareholder countries and to assist companies in the shareholder countries to access world markets. Our trade-financing activities are complementary to those of the export credit agencies of shareholder countries because we finance qualifying import or export operations, whereas those agencies generally are limited to providing financing only for goods exported from the respective countries. Through trade-financing, we finance the movement of merchandise. We also provide credit support to trade activities through the confirmation of letters of credit in situations where the issuing local bank would not be perceived as sufficiently creditworthy by financial institutions in the beneficiary’s country.

In 1997, we began making a portion of our loans through an “A/B” loan program, where we act as lender of record for the entire loan and sell non-recourse participations in the “B” portion of the loan to financial institutions. The “A” portion of the loan is made directly to the borrower by CAF. Under the “B” portion, financial institutions provide the funding and assume the credit risk; we do not provide funding under the “B” portion and, therefore, do not assume any credit risk. Because we act as the lender of record for the entire loan, thereby operating as the one official lender in the transaction, the borrower receives an interest rate that is generally lower than the rate available in the commercial markets. The lower interest rate is a result, among other factors, of the reduced inherent risk resulting from our status as a multilateral financial institution.

Our loan pricing is typically based on its cost of funds plus a spread to cover operational costs and credit risks. All sovereign-risk loans are made at the same spread for comparable maturities. Generally, our loans are made on a floating interest rate basis. Under certain exceptional circumstances, loans may be made at fixed interest rates, provided that the corresponding funding is obtained at fixed interest rates. We generally charge a loan origination fee up to 0.85% of the total loan amount and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% per annum on undisbursed loan balances. Substantially all loans are denominated in U.S. dollars.

Our policies generally require that loans to public sector entities have the benefit of sovereign guarantees. Exceptions have been made for a few highly-capitalized entities. Loans to private sector entities other than banks generally must have the benefit of bank or other guarantees, or other collateral acceptable to CAF.

At December 31, 2020, our total assets were USD 48.8 billion, of which USD 28.1 billion, or 57.6%, were disbursed and outstanding loans. At December 31, 2020, the “B” loan portion of our “A/B” loan transactions totaled USD 92.1 million. The tables on loan exposure that follow reflect only the “A” portion of the respective “A/B” loan transactions since we only assume the credit risk of the “A” loan portion. Our management expects further loan growth to be funded by additional borrowings and deposits, retained earnings and planned capital increases.

Loans outside the full member shareholder countries for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

As of December 31, 2020, the increase (decrease) of our loan portfolio by country compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 was as follows: Argentina, -0.5%; Bolivia, -6.2%; Brazil, 17.6%; Colombia, -2.2%; Ecuador 10.6%; Panama 2.2%; Paraguay, 111.8%; Peru, -23.3%; Trinidad & Tobago, 33.0%; Uruguay, 4.8%; and Venezuela, -12.9%. The growth of the loan portfolio reflects loan approvals as a result of higher demand from shareholder countries and our increased share of infrastructure financings in the region. Loans to associated shareholder countries holding Series “C” shares (as described under “Capital Structure — General”) totaled USD 2,224.4 million in 2020, compared to loans to associated shareholder countries holding Series “C” shares totaling USD 2,093.5 million and USD 1,334.3 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Management anticipates that our loan portfolio will continue to grow as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, both by issuing shares to new shareholder countries and by additional capital subscriptions by existing shareholder countries, which may result in increased loan demand for projects in such countries.

Other Activities

Treasury Operations

Our investment policy requires that at least 90% of our liquid assets be held in the form of investment grade instruments rated A-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. The remaining portion may be invested in unrated or non-investment grade instruments rated B-/Ba3/B- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. At December 31, 2020, our liquid assets amounted to USD 14.7 billion of which 24.7% were invested in time deposits in financial institutions, 19.7% in commercial paper, 15.2% in corporate and financial institution bonds, 19.8% in certificates of deposit, 13.8% in U.S. Treasury Notes and 6.8% in other instruments.

Equity Shareholdings

We may acquire equity shareholdings in new or existing companies within the shareholder countries, either directly or through investment funds focused on Latin America. Our equity participation in any one company is limited to 1% of our shareholders’ equity. Our policies do not permit us to be a company’s largest individual shareholder. In addition, the aggregate amount of our equity investments cannot exceed 10% of our shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2020, the carrying value of our equity investments totalled USD 432.6 million, representing 3.3% of our shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2020, 61.2% of our equity portfolio was held through investment funds.

Credit Guarantees

We have developed our credit guarantee product as part of our role of attracting international financing for our shareholder countries. As such, we may offer guarantees of private credit agreements or we may offer public guarantees of obligations of the securities of third party issuers. We generally offer only partial credit guarantees with the intention that private lenders or holders of securities share the risk along with us.

The emphasis of the credit guarantees is to aid in the financing of public sector projects, though we do not have any internal policies limiting our credit guarantees to public sector projects. Also, although we generally intend to guarantee approximately 25% of the financing for a given project, we may guarantee up to the full amount of the financing, subject to our other credit policies. Our internal policies limit the aggregate outstanding amount of our credit guarantees to a maximum amount equivalent to 20% of our total equity. The amount of credit guarantees outstanding was USD 130.1 million at December 31, 2020. Those credit guarantees represent 1.0% of our total equity and include guarantees issued for a public sector project in Peru and for several private sector companies that are operating in Argentina, Mexico and Peru.

Promotion of Regional Development

As part of our role in advancing regional integration, we evaluate on an ongoing basis new investment opportunities intended to benefit the shareholder countries. We also provide technical and financial assistance for the planning and implementation of binational and multinational projects, help obtain capital and technology for these projects, and assist companies in developing and implementing modernization, expansion and organizational development programs.

Fund Administration

In 2020, we acted as fund administrator for several funds funded by third parties and by our shareholders, the net assets of which totaled USD 494.9 million at December 31, 2020. We have no residual interest in the net assets of the special funds.

Each year, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approves a maximum amount to be contributed to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year, which contributions are recognized as expenses.

In 2020, the Stockholders’ Assembly approved the contribution of up to a maximum amount of USD 135 million to some Stockholders’ Special Funds. Management was authorized to contribute to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year 2020 and to recognize these contributions as expenses. The amount approved by the Stockholders’ Assembly in 2019 was USD 130 million. In 2020 and 2019, such contributions to these funds were USD 127.1 million and USD 129.2 million, respectively, and expensed as previously described. In 2018, such contribution to these funds was USD 92.1 million and accounted for as distributions from net income of 2018. These funds are not part of our accounts.

At December 31, 2020, the principal funds were the Compensatory Financing Fund, the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprise, the Technical Cooperation Fund and the Human Development Fund.

Technical Cooperation Fund

At December 31, 2020, the Technical Cooperation Fund had a balance of USD 75.3 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance research and development studies that may lead to the identification of project investment opportunities and also, on occasion, to provide grants that are typically less than USD 100,000 each to facilitate the implementation of those projects.

Human Development Fund

At December 31, 2020, the Human Development Fund had a balance of USD 5.4 million. This fund is devoted to assisting projects intended to promote sustainable development in socially excluded communities, as well as to support micro-enterprises through the financing of intermediary institutions that offer direct loans to rural and urban micro-entrepreneurs.

Compensatory Financing Fund

At December 31, 2020, the Compensatory Financing Fund had a balance of USD 259.7 million. This fund was created to provide interest rate compensation of certain loans granted by us when a project providing social or developmental benefits is otherwise unable to sustain market interest rates. For more information, see Note 22 (“Special Funds and Other Funds Under Management”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.

Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises

At December 31, 2020, the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises had a balance of USD 60.4 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance and, in general, support initiatives that aid the development of an entrepreneurial class in our shareholder countries.

Credit Policies

The Constitutive Agreement limits the total amount of disbursed and outstanding loans, guarantees and equity investments to 4.0 times stockholders’ equity. Our actual ratio on December 31, 2020 was 2.2 times stockholders’ equity.

We apply commercial banking standards for credit approvals and maintain policies and procedures regarding risk assessment and credit policy. Relationship managers perform an initial screening of each potential client and transaction to ensure that the proposed extension of credit falls within our policies. Proposed project loans are evaluated in accordance with our Operational Policies, which set out detailed eligibility and evaluation guidelines. Loans to a private sector borrower are approved taking into consideration both the individual loan and the total exposure to the borrower.

Table of Contents

The Loans and Investments Committee recommends approvals of loans and investments. The members of this Committee are the Vice Presidents, the General Counsel and the Head of Credit Administration. The committee is chaired by the Executive Vice President. The Secretary of the Committee is an officer from the Credit Administration Office. The Executive President, upon the recommendation of the Loans and Investments Committee, may approve (a) loans of up to USD 75.0 million for sovereign credits, (b) loans of up to USD 50.0 million for private credits, (c) investments of up to USD 25.0 million in the case of equity investments, (d) investments of up to 1% of total liquid assets of any issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 5% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 7% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (iii) the U.S. Treasury or the Bank for International Settlements, in which case our investment in notes, bills or bonds may be up to 50% of total liquid assets for each issuer), and (e) technical cooperation credits of up to USD 1.0 million. The Executive Committee of our Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself may approve (a) loans of up to USD 150.0 million for sovereign credits, (b) loans of up to USD 80.0 million for private credits, (c) investments of up to USD 50.0 million for equity investments, (d) investments of up to 2.5% of the total liquid assets for any issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 10% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 12% of the issuer’s total liquid assets), and (e) technical cooperation credits of up to USD 2.0 million. Loans and investments in excess of the aforementioned Executive Committee’s limits require the approval of our Board of Directors.

Our policies also impose limitations on loan concentration by country and by type of risk. Loans to entities in any one full member shareholder country may not exceed either 25% of our loan portfolio or 100% of our shareholders’ equity. Aggregate loans to entities in any associated shareholder country currently may not exceed eight times the total of such country’s paid-in capital contribution to us plus any assets entrusted by the country to us under a fiduciary relationship. This limit does not apply to trade loan financing with full member shareholder countries. Additionally, no more than four times the country’s paid-in capital contribution to us plus any assets entrusted to us under a fiduciary relationship may be committed to operations essentially national in character. The same limitation applies to our total loan portfolio in relation to our shareholders’ equity. Loans to a public sector or mixed-capital entity not considered a sovereign risk are limited in the aggregate to 15% of our shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the exposure to any individual private sector entity or to an economic group is limited to 2.35% and 3.5%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio.

Operations in which we extend credit to entities in Series “C” shareholder countries must generally be related to activities of such entities in, or related to, the full member shareholder countries. Notwithstanding the above, the aggregate total of outstanding loans in all such countries may not exceed 15% of our total loan portfolio.

Our policies permit us to provide up to 100% of the total project costs with respect to short-term loans. For medium- and long-term loans, we determine the appropriate level of financing on a case-by-case basis; however, limited-recourse financing in such loans may not exceed 50% of project costs. In practice, however, we typically limit our loans to a smaller percentage of total project costs and generally require a larger percentage of financial support by the borrower than required by our credit policies.

Asset Quality

We classify a loan as overdue whenever payment is not made on its due date. We charge additional interest on the overdue payment from the due date and immediately suspend disbursements on all loans to the borrower and to any other borrowers of which the overdue borrower is a guarantor. The entire principal amount of a loan is placed in non-accrual status when collection or recovery is doubtful or when any payment, including principal, interest, fees or other charges in respect of the loan, is more than 90 days overdue in the case of a private sector loan or more than 180 days overdue in the case of a public sector loan. Interest and other charges on non-accruing loans are included in income only to the extent that payments have actually been received by us.

At December 31, 2020, there were USD 0.0 million of loans overdue and USD 69.1 million of loans in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2019, there were USD 129.1 million of loans overdue and USD 69.8 million of loans in non-accrual status.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were USD 0.0 million of loan write-offs. We have not suffered any individually significant losses on our loan portfolio. Although our loans do not enjoy any legal preference over those of other creditors, we do enjoy a de facto preferred creditor status arising from our status as a multilateral financial institution and from the interest of our borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with us. Although some of our shareholder countries have restructured their sovereign debt obligations, we have never had to declare an event of default with respect to such countries’ debt obligations to CAF.

FUNDED DEBT

Funding Strategy

We raise funds for operations primarily in the international financial markets, although a relatively small part is raised within our shareholder countries. Our strategy with respect to funding, to the extent possible under prevailing market conditions, is to match the maturities of our liabilities to the maturities of our loan portfolio. In order to diversify our funding sources and to offer potential borrowers a wide range of credit facilities, we raise funds through bond issues in both the shareholder countries and the international capital markets. We also take deposits and obtain loans and credit lines from central banks, commercial banks and, to the extent of imports related to projects funded by us, export credit agencies.

Within the shareholder countries, we raise funds from central banks and financial institutions and by means of regional bond issues. Outside Latin America and the Caribbean, we obtain funding from public sector development and credit agencies, from development banks, from various North American, European and Asian commercial banks, from capital markets and from the U.S. and European commercial paper markets.

Our financial liabilities are primarily U.S. dollar-based: 53.6% of our total financial liabilities, or 98.4% of financial liabilities after swaps, were denominated in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2020. The principal amount of non-U.S. dollar financial liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2020 included 7,230.6 million Euros, 76,500.0 million Yen, 2,450.0 million Swiss Francs, 1,102,700.0 million Colombian Pesos, 5,877.0 million Hong Kong Dollars, 8,007.4 million Mexican Pesos, 277.1 million Peruvian Nuevos Soles, 4,200.0 million Norwegian Kroner, 1,357.6 million Australian Dollars, 1,034,100.0 million Indonesian Rupiah, 2,138.0 million Indian Rupee, 21.3 million New Zealand Dollars, 9,900.6 million Uruguayan Pesos, 163.2 million Uruguayan Index Units, 6,210.0 million Kazakhistani Tenge, 40.0 million Canadian Dollars and 13.7 million Bolivian Boliviano; all of these non-U.S. dollar financial liabilities are swapped into U.S. dollars or otherwise hedged with an underlying asset.

DEBT RECORD

We have never had an event of default declared with respect to the payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, any debt security we have issued, and we have always met all of our debt obligations on a timely basis.

Table of Contents

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

We reduce our sensitivity to interest rate risk by extending our loans on a floating rather than a fixed interest rate basis. At December 31, 2020, 93.2% of our outstanding loans were based on LIBOR and subject to interest rate adjustments at least every six months. The liabilities that fund these loans are also contracted at, or swapped into, LIBOR floating interest rates. When we make loans at fixed interest rates, we also obtain the corresponding funding on a fixed interest rate basis.

We require that counterparties with which we enter into swap agreements be rated “A+/A1” or better by two U.S. nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or have signed a credit support agreement (resulting in the corresponding exchange of collateral), at the time of entering into the swap agreement. At December 31, 2020, we were party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of USD 25.8 billion.

We seek, to the extent possible under prevailing market conditions, to match the maturities of our liabilities to the maturities of our loan portfolio. At December 31, 2020, the weighted average life of our financial assets was 3.9 years and the weighted average life of our financial liabilities was 3.8 years.

Our management expects the weighted average life of our financial assets to increase gradually, as we make more long-term loans for infrastructure development and similar purposes. At the same time, our management expects that the weighted average life of our liabilities will also increase as a result of our strategy of increasing our presence in the international long-term bond market as market conditions permit.

At December 31, 2020, 99.7% of our assets and 53.6% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder of our liabilities being denominated principally in Euro, Yen, Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar, Norwegian kroner, Turkish lire, South African rand and Swiss Francs, which liabilities were swapped. After swaps, 98.4% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars as of December 31, 2020. Generally, funding that is contracted in currencies other than the US dollar is swapped into U.S. dollars. In some cases, we extend our loans in the same non-U.S. dollar currencies as debt is incurred in order to minimize exchange risks. Our shareholders’ equity is denominated entirely in U.S. dollars.

Our treasury asset and liability management involves managing liquidity, funding, interest rate and exchange rate risk arising from non-trading positions through the use of on-balance sheet instruments. Our external asset managers use derivatives to hedge the interest and exchange rate risk exposures of our non-U.S. dollar denominated investments. Our policy is that our total exposure on trade derivatives should not exceed 3% of liquid investments. See Note 19 (“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.

ADMINISTRATION

We are governed and administered by the bodies and officials detailed below:

Shareholders’ General Meeting

The shareholders’ general meeting is the ultimate decision-making body within CAF. Shareholders’ general meetings can be ordinary or extraordinary and are governed by the requirement for the presence of a quorum and compliance with other conditions set out in the Constitutive Agreement.

Shareholders’ ordinary general meetings are held once a year, within 90 days of the close of the financial year, and are convened by the Executive President. The shareholders’ ordinary general meeting:

(1) considers the Board of Directors’ annual report and our financial statements, receives the independent auditors’ report and allocates our net income;

(2) constitutes special funds for particular purposes;

(3) elects the Board of Directors according to the Constitutive Agreement;

(4) appoints external auditors;

(5) determines compensation for the Board of Directors and the external auditors; and

(6) may consider any other matter expressly submitted to it which is not within the purview of any other body of CAF.

Shareholders’ extraordinary general meetings may be convened after a call has been made at the initiative of the Board of Directors, or the Executive President, or at least 40% of Series “A” shareholders or any shareholders representing at least 25% of paid-in capital. The shareholders’ extraordinary general meeting may:

(1) increase, reduce or replenish our capital in accordance with the Constitutive Agreement;

(2) dissolve CAF;

(3) change the headquarters of CAF when the Board of Directors so proposes; and

(4) consider any other matter that has been expressly submitted to it that is not within the purview of any other body of CAF.

Resolutions before shareholders’ ordinary general meetings are passed by the votes of at least 60% of Series “A” shareholders, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting. Resolutions passed at shareholders’ extraordinary general meetings (including a decision to dissolve CAF) require the votes of 80% of Series “A” shareholders, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting, except for resolutions concerning modifications to the structure of the Board of Directors in which case an affirmative vote of all Series “A” shareholders is required, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting. In the event of adjournment for lack of a quorum, which consists of at least 80% of Series “A” shareholders and a simple majority of the other shareholders, at either an ordinary or extraordinary general meeting, two Series “A” shareholders, plus a majority of the other shares represented at the meeting, may deliberate and approve decisions at a reconvened meeting.

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors is composed of 19 directors, each of whom is elected for a term of three years and may be re-elected. Each of the Series “A” shareholders is represented by one director. Five directors represent the governments or governmental institutions holding Series “B” shares and one director represents the private financial institutions holding Series “B” shares. Holders of Series “C” shares are entitled to elect two directors. In the event of a vacancy in a director position, the corresponding alternate director serves as director until such vacancy has been filled. Responsibilities of our Board of Directors include:

(1) establishing and directing our credit and economic policies;

(2) approving our budget;

(4) approving credits granted by us in excess of a specified limit;

(5) establishing or modifying internal regulations; and

Executive President

The Executive President is our legal representative and chief executive officer. He is empowered to decide all matters not expressly reserved to the shareholders’ general meeting, the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee. The Executive President is elected by the Board of Directors for a period of five years and may be re-elected.

On July 5, 2021, in an Extraordinary Board of Directors’ meeting, the Board of Directors appointed Sergio Díaz-Granados as Executive President of CAF for the five-year period starting September 1, 2021.

Sergio Díaz-Granados studied law, government and finance at Universidad Externado de Colombia, and completed postgraduate studies in public management for social development at the National Institute of Public Administration in Spain and in constitutional law at the University of Salamanca in Spain. Díaz-Granados is a Colombian lawyer who currently serves as Executive Director for Colombia in the IDB Group. Díaz-Granados has had an extensive career in public and private service, both nationally and internationally, with a special emphasis on regional development and integration issues. He has held the positions of Minister of Commerce, Industry and Tourism of Colombia, Vice Minister of Business Development and President of the Boards of Directors of Bancóldex and ProColombia. He has also been a congressman and chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Economic Affairs in Colombia.

Renny López has acted as CAF’s interim Executive President since April 10, 2021, following the resignation of Luis Carranza Ugarte as Executive President of CAF, who had been elected for the period April 2017 to March 2022. Before Renny López’s designation as interim Executive President, he was CAF’s Chief Risk Officer and interim Executive Vice President.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities being offered and the extent to which such general provisions may apply will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

The debt securities will be issued pursuant to a fiscal agency agreement, dated as of March 17, 1998, between CAF and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as fiscal agent. The following statements briefly summarize some of the terms of the debt securities and the fiscal agency agreement (a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement). These statements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all provisions of the fiscal agency agreement and such debt securities.

General

The debt securities will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and general obligations. The debt securities will rank equally with all of our other unsecured Indebtedness, other than such obligations as may be preferred by provisions of law that are both mandatory and of general application. “Indebtedness” means all of our indebtedness in respect of monies borrowed by us and guarantees given by us for monies borrowed by others.

The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of the debt securities, as applicable:

 

  (1)

the title;

 

  (2)

the price or prices at which we will issue the debt securities;

 

  (3)

any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the series of which they are a part;

 

  (4)

the currency or currency units for which the debt securities may be purchased and in which payments of principal and interest will be made;

 

  (5)

the date or dates on which principal and interest will be payable;

 

  (6)

the rate or rates at which any of the debt securities will bear interest, the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, and the record dates and interest payment dates;

 

  (7)

the place or places where principal and interest payments will be made;

 

  (8)

the time and price limitations on redemption of the debt securities;

 

  (9)

our obligation, if any, to redeem or purchase the debt securities at the option of the holder;

 

  (10)

the denominations in which any of the debt securities will be issuable, if other than denominations of USD 1,000;

 

  (11)

if the amount of principal or interest on any of the debt securities is determinable according to an index or a formula, the manner in which such amounts will be determined;

 

  (12)

whether and under what circumstances we will issue the debt securities as global debt securities; and

 

  (13)

any other specific terms of the debt securities.

Certain debt securities will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been issued with original issue discount (“Discount Notes”) if the excess of the debt security’s “stated redemption price at maturity” over its issue price is more than a “de minimis amount” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). See the discussion set forth under the heading “Taxation—United States Taxation” for more information regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Discount Notes. If applicable, the prospectus supplement also may describe certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a beneficial owner of Discount Notes and any other special rules regarding debt securities.

Denominations, Registration and Transfer

The debt securities of each series will be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, only in denominations of USD 1,000 and integral multiples thereof.

 

40


Table of Contents

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the fiscal agency agreement and the limitations applicable to global debt securities, debt securities of each series will be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series of any authorized denomination and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Debt securities may be presented for exchange and for registration of transfer in the manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions set forth in the debt securities and as summarized in the prospectus supplement. Such services will be provided without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, but subject to the limitations provided in the terms of the debt securities.

If any definitive notes are issued and at that time the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, we will appoint a transfer agent in Luxembourg, which we anticipate being the same entity that serves as our Luxembourg paying agent. In such circumstances, transfers or exchanges of any definitive notes may be made at the office of our Luxembourg transfer agent (in addition to the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent).

Global Debt Securities

Some or all of the debt securities of any series may be represented, in whole or in part, by one or more global debt securities that will have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the debt securities they represent. If applicable, each global debt security will be:

 

  (1)

registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement;

 

  (2)

deposited with the depositary or nominee or the depositary’s custodian; and

 

  (3)

printed with a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer of the security, and any other matters required by the fiscal agency agreement and the terms of the debt securities and summarized in the prospectus supplement.

Payment and Paying Agent

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will make payments of principal and interest on debt securities:

 

  (1)

through the fiscal agent;

 

  (2)

to the person in whose name the debt securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the payments; and

 

  (3)

at the office of the paying agent or agents designated by us; unless

 

   

at our option, payment is mailed to the registered holder, or

 

   

at the request of a registered holder of more than USD 1,000,000 principal amount of the securities, payment is made by wire transfer.

Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, our sole paying agent for payments on the debt securities will be the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent in The City of New York.

Any monies we pay to our fiscal agent or any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us by such agent. Upon such repayment, all liability of our fiscal agent or any paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way our unconditional obligation to pay principal of or any interest on the debt securities when due.

Negative Pledge

As long as any of the debt securities are outstanding and unpaid, but only up to the time amounts sufficient for payment of all principal and interest have been placed at the disposal of the fiscal agent, we will not cause or permit to be created on any of our property or assets any mortgage, pledge or other lien or charge as security for any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness heretofore or hereafter issued, assumed or guaranteed by us for money borrowed (other than purchase money mortgages, pledges or liens on property purchased by us as security for all or part of the purchase price thereof), unless the debt securities are secured by such mortgage, pledge or other lien or charge equally and ratably with such other bonds, notes or evidences of indebtedness.

 

41


Table of Contents

Default; Acceleration of Maturity

Each of the following will constitute an “event of default” with respect to the debt securities of any series:

 

  (1)

a failure to pay any principal of or interest on any debt securities of that series when due and the continuance of the failure for 30 days;

 

  (2)

a failure to perform or observe any material obligation under or in respect of any debt securities of that series or the fiscal agency agreement and the continuance of the failure for a period of 90 days after written notice of the failure has been delivered to CAF and to the fiscal agent by the holder of any debt security of that series;

 

  (3)

a failure to pay any amount in excess of USD 100,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) of principal or interest or premium in respect of any indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed by CAF as and when such amount becomes due and payable and the continuance of the failure until the expiration of any applicable grace period or 30 days, whichever is longer; or

 

  (4)

the acceleration of any indebtedness incurred or assumed by CAF with an aggregate principal amount in excess of USD 100,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) by any holder or holders thereof.

If an event of default occurs with respect to the debt securities of any series at the time outstanding, each holder of any debt security of that series may, by written notice to CAF and the fiscal agent, declare the principal of and any accrued interest on all the debt securities of that series held by it to be, and the principal and accrued interest shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, unless prior to receipt of the notice by CAF all events of default in respect of such series of debt securities are cured. If all the events of default are cured following the declaration, the declaration may be rescinded by any such holder with respect to the previously accelerated series of debt securities upon delivery of written notice of the rescission to CAF and the fiscal agent.

Redemption for Tax Reasons

The debt securities may be redeemed at our option in whole, but not in part:

(i) at any time (if floating rate note provisions are not specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement as being applicable); or

(ii) on any interest payment date (if floating rate note provisions are specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement as being applicable),

on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the holders of the debt securities (which notice shall be irrevocable), at the principal amount of such debt securities or such other amount as may be specified in, or determined in accordance with, the accompanying pricing supplement, together with interest accrued (if any) to the date fixed for redemption, if:

 

  (A)

we have or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in “— Additional Payments by CAF” as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of any of the full member shareholder countries or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction), which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of issue of the first tranche of the debt securities; and

 

  (B)

such obligation cannot be avoided by us taking reasonable measures available to us,

provided, however, that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than:

 

  (1)

where the debt securities may be redeemed at any time, 90 days prior to the earliest date on which we would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the debt securities were then due; or

 

  (2)

where the debt securities may be redeemed only on an interest payment date, 60 days prior to the interest payment date occurring immediately before the earliest date on which we would be obliged to pay such additional amounts if a payment in respect of the debt securities were then due.

 

42


Table of Contents

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this section, we shall deliver to the fiscal agent (A) a certificate signed by two authorized officers of us stating that we are entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of us so to redeem have occurred and (B) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognized standing to the effect that we have or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment. Upon the expiration of any such notice as is referred to in this section, we shall be bound to redeem the debt securities in accordance with this section.

Additional Payments by CAF

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the debt securities by or on behalf of us will be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or on behalf of any of the full member shareholder countries or any political subdivision therein or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In that event, we will pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by the holder of debt securities after such withholding or deduction of such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable in respect of any debt securities presented for payment:

 

  (1)

by or on behalf of a holder of a debt security of any series who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such debt security by reason of having some connection with any of the full member shareholder countries other than the mere holding of the debt security; or

 

  (2)

if such withholding or deduction may be avoided by a holder of a debt security of any series complying with a request of us relating to any certification, identification or other reporting concerning its nationality, residence, identity or connection with any full member shareholder country if the holder is able to comply with the request without undue hardship and we have provided the notice in writing at least 60 days before such information is required to be provided by the holder; or

 

  (3)

more than 30 days after the Relevant Date, except to the extent that the holder of such debt security of any series would have been entitled to such additional amounts on presenting such debt security for payment on the last day of such period of 30 days; or

 

  (4)

if such withholding or deduction is imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code.

Any reference in this section to principal or interest shall be deemed to include any additional amounts in respect of principal or interest (as the case may be) which may be payable under this section.

As used in this prospectus, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the fiscal agent on or prior to the due date, it means the first date on which, the full amount of the moneys having been so received and being available for payment to holders of debt securities of any series, notice to that effect will have been duly published as set forth below under “—Notices.”

Modification and Amendment

Each and every holder of the debt securities in a series must consent to any amendment of a provision of the debt securities or the fiscal agency agreement that would:

 

  (1)

change the due date of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities; or

 

  (2)

reduce the principal amount, interest rate or amount payable upon acceleration of the due date of the debt securities of a series; or

 

  (3)

change the currency or place of payment of principal of or interest on the debt securities of a series; or

 

  (4)

reduce the proportion of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series that must be held by any of the holders to vote to amend or supplement the terms of the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities; or

 

  (5)

change our obligation to pay additional amounts.

We may, however, with the written consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series, modify any of the other terms or provisions of the debt securities of that series or the fiscal agency agreement (as it applies to that series).

 

43


Table of Contents

Also, we and the fiscal agent may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of a series, modify any of the terms and conditions of the fiscal agency agreement and the debt securities of that series, for the purpose of:

 

  (1)

adding to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities; or

 

  (2)

surrendering any right or power conferred on CAF; or

 

  (3)

securing the debt securities of that series; or

 

  (4)

curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any defective provision of the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities; or

 

  (5)

for any purpose that CAF deems necessary or desirable that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of that series in any material respect.

Notices

All notices will be delivered in writing to each holder of the debt securities of any series. If at the time of such notice the debt securities of a series are represented by global debt securities, the notice shall be delivered to the applicable depositary for such securities and shall be deemed to have been given three business days after delivery to such depositary. If at the time of the notice the debt securities of a series are not represented by global debt securities, the notice shall be delivered to the registered holders of the debt securities of the series and in that case shall be deemed to have been given three business days after the mailing of the notice by first-class mail.

Further Issues

We may from time to time without the consent of holders of the debt securities create and issue further debt securities so as to form a single series with an outstanding series of debt securities, provided that any new debt securities would be treated as fungible with the original debt securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If such additional notes are not fungible with the original debt securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional notes will be issued under a separate CUSIP number.

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity

The debt securities are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. We will accept the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in respect of any action arising out of or based on the debt securities that may be instituted by any holder of a debt security. We will appoint CT Corporation in The City of New York as our authorized agent upon which process in any such action may be served. We will irrevocably waive any immunity to which we might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based on the debt securities brought in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. CT Corporation will not be an agent for service of process for actions brought under the United States securities laws, and our waiver of immunity will not extend to such actions.

TAXATION

Full Member Shareholder Country Taxation

Under the terms of the Constitutive Agreement, we are exempt from all types of taxes levied by each of the full member shareholder countries on our income, property and other assets, and on operations we carry out in accordance with that treaty, and we are exempt from all liability related to the payment, retention or collection of any taxes, contributions or tariffs.

Payments of principal and interest in respect of the debt securities to a non-resident of the full member shareholder countries will therefore not be subject to taxation in any of the full member shareholder countries, nor will any withholding for tax of any of the full member shareholder countries be required on any such payments to any holder of debt securities. In the event of the imposition of withholding taxes by any of the full member shareholder countries, we have undertaken to pay additional amounts in respect of any payments subject to such withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described under “Description of the Debt Securities — Additional Payments by CAF.”

United States Taxation

This section describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of your purchase, ownership, and disposition of a debt security pursuant to an offering. It is the opinion of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP. It applies to you only if you are a beneficial owner of the debt securities that you acquired in the initial offering at the offering price and you hold your debt securities as capital assets for tax purposes (generally, assets held for investment). The following discussion is based on the provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury Regulations”), rulings and judicial decisions interpreting the Code as of the date hereof. These authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurances can be given that any changes in these authorities will not affect the accuracy of the discussion below. This discussion does not cover any U.S. state, U.S. local or non-U.S. tax issues, nor does it cover issues under the U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws.

CAF has not sought any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in this discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with all of such statements and conclusions. A different treatment from that described below could adversely affect the amount, timing, and character of income, gain or loss in respect of an investment in the debt securities. This section does not purport to discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances.

In particular, this discussion assumes that you are not subject to any special U.S. federal income tax rules, including, among others, the special tax rules applicable to:

 

   

a dealer in securities or currencies,

 

   

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings,

 

   

a bank,

 

   

a life insurance company,

 

   

a tax-exempt organization,

 

   

a real estate investment trust,

 

   

a regulated investment company,

 

   

a person subject to the alternative minimum tax,

 

   

a person that owns debt securities that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks,

 

   

a person that owns debt securities as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes,

 

   

a person that purchases or sells debt securities as part of a wash sale for tax purposes,

 

   

a person subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code,

 

   

a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a person holding the debt securities through a partnership or other pass-through entity, or

 

   

a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

 

46


Table of Contents

If any of these assumptions are not correct in your case, the purchase, ownership or disposition of a debt security may have U.S. federal income tax consequences for you that differ from, or are not covered in, this discussion.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a holder of a debt security, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in that partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Holders of debt securities that are partnerships and partners in those partnerships holding the debt securities should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the debt securities.

This discussion deals only with debt securities that are due to mature within 30 years from the date on which they are issued. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning debt securities that are due to mature more than 30 years from their date of issue will be discussed in an applicable prospectus supplement.

This discussion also assumes that all principal and interest payments on the debt securities will be denominated in U.S. dollars and that the debt securities are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning debt securities denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and debt securities that may be treated as contingent payment debt instruments will be discussed in an applicable prospectus supplement.

Please consult your own tax advisor concerning the consequences of owning these debt securities in your particular circumstances under the Code and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Deemed Taxable Exchange

Under certain circumstances, a change made to the terms of the debt securities as described under “Description of the Debt Securities —Modification and Amendment” may give rise to a deemed taxable exchange of the debt securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon which gain or loss is realized if such change constitutes a “significant modification” (as defined in the Code) (a “Significant Modification”). Such gain or loss generally would be measured by the difference between the principal amount (or fair market value in certain circumstances) of the debt security after the Significant Modification and the holder’s tax basis in such debt security before the Significant Modification. A deemed exchange may also result in the “new” debt security being treated as having been issued with original issue discount (“OID”) or premium, each discussed in more detail below. A modification of a debt security that is not a Significant Modification does not create a deemed exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, the modification of a debt security is a Significant Modification if, based on all of the facts and circumstances and taking into account all modifications of the debt security collectively (other than modifications that are subject to special rules), the legal rights or obligations that are altered and the degree to which they are altered are “economically significant.” The applicable Treasury Regulations provide specific rules to determine whether certain modifications, such as a change in the timing of payments, are significant.

U.S. Holders

This subsection applies to you if you are a “U.S Holder.” A person is a “U.S. Holder” if the person is a beneficial owner of a debt security and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States,

 

   

a corporation or other entity treated as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

 

   

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or

 

   

a trust (A) if a U.S. court can exercise primary jurisdiction over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” as defined in the Code (each a “U.S. Person”) have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) that was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has made a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. trust.

This subsection does not apply to persons who are not U.S. Holders. Such persons should refer to “––Non-U.S. Holders” below.

Pre-issuance Accrued Interest. Under certain circumstances, a portion of the price paid for the debt securities may be allocable to interest that accrued prior to the date the debt securities are purchased (the “pre-issuance accrued interest”). If a debt security is issued with pre-issuance accrued interest, you may, under certain circumstances, treat the debt security for U.S. federal income tax purposes as having been issued for an amount that excludes the pre-issuance accrued interest. In that event, a portion of the first stated interest payment equal to the excluded pre-issuance accrued interest will be treated as a return of such pre-issuance accrued interest and will not be taxable to you or otherwise treated as an amount payable on the debt security, but will reduce your adjusted tax basis in the debt security by such amount..

 

47


Table of Contents

Payments of Interest. Payments or accruals of stated interest on a debt security (other than pre-issuance accrued interest, which will be treated as described above) generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income. If you generally report your taxable income using the accrual method of accounting, you must include payments of interest in your income as they accrue. If you generally report your taxable income using the cash method of accounting, you must include payments of interest in your income when you actually or constructively receive them.

You must include any tax withheld from the interest payment as ordinary income even though you do not in fact receive it. You may be entitled to deduct or credit this tax, subject to applicable limits. You will also be required to include in income as interest any additional amounts paid with respect to withholding tax on the debt securities, including withholding tax on payments of such additional amounts. For purposes of the “foreign tax credit” provisions of the Code, interest (including any additional amounts) on a debt security generally will constitute “foreign source income” and will be categorized as “passive” or another category of income depending on your circumstances. You should consult your own tax advisor about the possibility of claiming a foreign tax credit or deduction with respect to any tax withheld from payments on the debt securities.

Original Issue Discount. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a debt security will be treated as issued with OID if the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the debt security over its “issue price” equals or exceeds the “de minimis” amount (generally, 0.25 of one percent of such debt security’s stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years from the issue date to the maturity date). The stated redemption price at maturity equals the sum of all payments due under the debt securities, other than any payments of “qualified stated interest.” A “qualified stated interest” payment generally is a payment of stated interest that is unconditionally payable in cash or property, or that will be constructively received, at least annually during the entire term of the debt security. The issue price will generally equal the initial public offering price at which a substantial number of debt securities are issued in a given offering. You must include in gross income amounts of non-de minimis OID as ordinary interest income on an accrual basis generally under a “constant yield to maturity” method described below (whether you are a cash or accrual basis taxpayer). Generally, OID must be included in income in advance of the receipt of cash representing such income.

The amount of OID on a debt security that you must include in income during a taxable year is the sum of the “daily portions” of OID for that debt security. The daily portions are determined by allocating to each day in an “accrual period” (generally the period between compounding dates) a pro rata portion of the OID attributable to that accrual period. The amount of OID attributable to an accrual period is the product of the “adjusted issue price” of the debt securities at the beginning of the accrual period and its yield to maturity reduced by the sum of the payments of qualified stated interest on the debt security allocable to the accrual period. The “adjusted issue price” of a debt security at the beginning of any accrual period is generally equal to the sum of its issue price and all prior accruals of OID. Cash payments on an OID debt security are allocated first to any stated interest then due, then to previously accrued OID (in the order of accrual) to which cash payments have not yet been allocated, and then to principal.

You generally may make an irrevocable election to include in your income the entire return on an OID debt security (including payments of qualified stated interest) under the constant yield method applicable to OID.

For purposes of the “foreign tax credit” provisions of the Code, any OID accrued on a debt security and included in your income generally will constitute “foreign source income” and will be categorized as “passive” or another category of income depending on your circumstances.

Debt Securities Purchased at a Premium. If you purchase a debt security for an amount that is greater than its stated redemption price at maturity (not taking into account any pre-issuance accrued interest), you will be considered to have purchased the debt security with “amortizable bond premium” equal in amount to that excess. You generally may elect to amortize such premium using a constant-yield method over the term of the debt security. However, in the event the debt securities may be redeemed by us prior to maturity at a premium, special rules would apply that may reduce, eliminate or defer the amount of premium that you may amortize with respect to the debt securities.

If you make the election (or are already subject to a prior election), you generally would reduce the amount required to be included in your income each accrual period with respect to interest on your debt security by the amount of amortizable bond premium allocable to that accrual period, based on your debt security’s yield to maturity. The amount of premium allocated to any such period is calculated by taking the difference between (i) the qualified stated interest payable on the interest payment date on which that period ends and (ii) the product of (a) the debt security’s overall yield to maturity and (b) your purchase price for the debt security (reduced by amounts of premium allocated to previous periods). If you do not make the election to amortize premium on a debt security and you hold the debt

security to maturity, you will realize a capital loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, equal to the amount of the premium, when the debt security matures. If you do not make the election to amortize premium and you sell or otherwise dispose of the debt security before maturity, the premium will be included in your “tax basis” in the debt security as defined below, and therefore will decrease the gain, or increase the loss, that you otherwise would realize on the sale or other disposition of the debt security.

Any election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable debt instruments acquired at a premium (other than debt instruments the interest on which is excludible from gross income) held by you at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all taxable debt instruments acquired at a premium on or after that date. The election may be revoked only with consent of the IRS. You should consult your tax advisor before making the election and regarding the calculation and amortization of any bond premium on the debt securities.

Disposition of the Debt Securities. If you sell or otherwise dispose of a debt security, you generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between your “amount realized” and your “adjusted tax basis” in the debt security. Your “amount realized” generally will be the value of what you receive for selling or otherwise disposing of the debt security, other than amounts that represent interest that is due to you but that has not yet been paid (which, except in the case of pre-issuance accrued interest, will be taxed to you as ordinary income to the extent not previously included in income). Your “adjusted tax basis” in the debt security generally will equal the amount that you paid for the debt security increased by the amount of OID (if any) that you have included as income, and decreased (but not below zero) by (i) any amortized premium (as described above), (ii) any amount attributable to pre-issuance accrued interest that you have already received, and (iii) any cash payments of principal (if any) that you have received with respect to the debt security.

Gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of a debt security generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time you sell or dispose of the debt security, you have held the debt security for more than one year, or will be short-term capital gain or loss if you have held the debt security for one year or less. Under the current U.S. federal income tax law, long-term capital gains of non-corporate taxpayers may be taxed at lower rates than items of ordinary income. Limitations may apply to your ability to deduct a capital loss. Any capital gains or losses that arise when you sell or dispose of a debt security generally will be treated as U.S. source income, or loss allocable to U.S. source income, for purposes of the “foreign tax credit” provisions of the Code. Therefore, you may not be able to claim a credit for any non-U.S. taxes imposed upon a disposition of a debt security unless you have other income from non-U.S. sources and other requirements are met. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the possibility of claiming a foreign tax credit or deduction with respect to any non-U.S. taxes imposed upon a disposition of a debt security.

Medicare Tax. A U.S. 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, will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on the lesser of (i) the U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” (or, in the case of an estate or trust, the “undistributed net investment income”) for the relevant taxable year and (ii) the excess of the U.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s net investment income generally will include its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of the debt securities, 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). If you are an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the debt securities.

Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets.

Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of USD 50,000 on the last day of the taxable year, or USD 75,000 at any time during the taxable year (or, in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file information reports with respect to such assets with their U.S. federal income tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” may include financial accounts maintained by non-U.S. 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-U.S. persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that have non-U.S. issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in non-U.S. entities. The debt securities may be treated as specified foreign financial assets and you may be subject to this information reporting regime. Failure to file information reports may subject you to penalties. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to your ownership of debt securities.

Non-U.S. Holders

This subsection applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S Holder.” The discussion below does not address the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of an investment in a debt security that references directly or indirectly the performance of U.S. equities. The tax treatment of any such debt securities will be discussed in the applicable prospectus supplement. You are a “Non-U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of a debt security and you are not a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a “U.S. Holder” as defined above.

 

49


Table of Contents

If you are a U.S Holder, this subsection does not apply to you.

Payments of Interest. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including withholding tax, on interest that you receive on a debt security unless you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and the interest on the debt security is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as “effectively connected” to that trade or business. If you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business and the interest income is deemed to be “effectively connected” to that trade or business (and in addition, if you are claiming benefits under an applicable income tax treaty, the interest is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base (in each case within the meaning of such treaty) in the United States), you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that interest in the same manner as if you were a U.S. Holder (unless the interest is excluded under an applicable tax treaty). In addition, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, your interest income subject to tax in that manner may increase your liability under the U.S. “branch profits tax” currently imposed at a 30% rate (or a lower rate under an applicable tax treaty).

Disposition of the Debt Securities. Subject to the backup withholding discussion below, you generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any capital gain that you realize when you sell or otherwise dispose of a debt security unless:

 

  1)

you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business and the gain is “effectively connected” to that trade or business for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and in addition, if you are claiming benefits under an applicable income tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base (in each case within the meaning of such treaty) in the United States); or

 

  2)

you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year in which the gain is realized and either (i) you have a “tax home” (as defined in the Code) in the United States during the taxable year in which you sell or otherwise dispose of the debt security, or (ii) the gain is attributable to any office or other fixed place of business that you maintain in the United States.

If you are described under (1) above, you generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such gain in the same manner as a U.S. Holder and, if you are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you also may be subject to the U.S. branch profits tax as described above. If you are described under (2) above, you generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal tax on the gain derived from the sale or other taxable disposition of a debt security, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses (notwithstanding the fact that you are not considered a U.S. resident for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Any amount attributable to accrued but unpaid interest on a debt security generally will be treated in the same manner as payments of interest made to you, as described above under “Non-U.S. Holders—Payments of Interest.”

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding

Certain non-U.S. financial institutions must comply with information reporting requirements or certification requirements in respect of their direct and indirect U.S. shareholders and/or U.S. accountholders to avoid becoming subject to withholding on certain payments. We and other non-U.S. financial institutions may accordingly be required to report information to the IRS regarding the holders of debt securities and to withhold on a portion of payments under the debt securities to certain holders that fail to comply with the relevant information reporting requirements (or hold debt securities directly or indirectly through certain non-compliant intermediaries). However, under proposed Treasury Regulations, such withholding will not apply to payments made before the date that is two years after the date on which final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are enacted. Moreover, such withholding would only apply to debt securities issued at least six months after the date on which final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are enacted. You should consult your own tax advisors and any banks or brokers through which you will hold debt securities as to the consequences (if any) of these rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

If you are a U.S. Holder, and unless you prove that you are exempt, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of principal and interest to you on a debt security if such payments are made within the United States. Such payments will be considered made within the United States if transferred to an account maintained in the United States or mailed to a United States address, and the amount is paid by or through a custodian or nominee that is a “U.S. Controlled Person,” as defined below. Backup withholding will apply to such payments of principal and interest if (i) you fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number; (ii) in the case of interest payments, you fail to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding; (iii) you are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest and dividend income required to be shown on your U.S. federal income tax returns; or (iv) you fail to demonstrate your eligibility for an exemption.

Table of Contents

If you are a Non-U.S. Holder, you generally are exempt from these withholding and reporting requirements (assuming that the gain or income is otherwise exempt from U.S. federal income tax), but you may be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish your exemption.

If you are paid the proceeds of a sale or redemption of a debt security effected at the U.S. office of a broker, you generally will be subject to the information reporting and backup withholding rules described above. In addition, the information reporting rules will apply to payments of proceeds of a sale or redemption effected at a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a “U.S. Controlled Person,” as defined below, unless the broker has documentary evidence that the holder or beneficial owner is not a U.S. Person (and has no actual knowledge or reason to know to the contrary) or the holder or beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption. The backup withholding rules will apply to such payments if the broker has actual knowledge that you are a U.S. Person. As used herein, the term “U.S. Controlled Person” means a broker that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a U.S. Person;

 

   

a “controlled foreign corporation”;

 

   

a non-U.S. person 50% or more of whose gross income is “effectively connected” with a U.S. trade or business for a specified three-year period; or

 

   

a non-U.S. partnership in which U.S. Persons hold, at any time during the non-U.S. partnership’s tax year, more than 50% of the income or capital interests or which is engaged in a U.S. trade or business.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to you generally may be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability if you provide the required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities described in this prospectus to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them or may sell the securities to investors directly or through agents, which agents may be affiliated with us. Any such underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities will be named in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

We may sell our guarantees separately from our debt securities to guarantee certain obligations associated with the securities of third party issuers. In such cases, we may sell the guarantees in the same transaction as the sale of the underlying security or we may sell the guarantee independently to guarantee the obligations of outstanding securities of third party issuers.

Sales of securities offered pursuant to any prospectus supplement may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed, at prices related to the prevailing market prices at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. We also may, from time to time, authorize underwriters, acting as our agents, to offer and sell securities upon the terms and conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent.

We may offer the securities of any series to present holders of other securities of CAF as consideration for the purchase or exchange by CAF of other securities. This offer may be in connection with a publicly announced tender, exchange or other offer for these securities or in privately negotiated transactions.

Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”)’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Management of CAF is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Management has assessed the effectiveness of CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, CAF’s Management concluded that CAF’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2020.

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CAF’s financial statements as of December 31, 2020, have been audited by an independent accounting firm, which has also issued an independent auditors’ report on CAF´s internal control over financial reporting. The Independent Auditor´s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, which is included in this document, expresses an unmodified opinion on CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF)

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Management’s Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the CAFs internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

An audit of internal control over financial reporting involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about whether a material weakness exists. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks that a material weakness exists. An audit includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Independent Auditors’ Report on Financial Statements

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF)

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CAF as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ORIGIN

Business description – Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) began its operations on June 8, 1970, and was established under public international law which abides by the provisions set forth in its Constitutive Agreement. Series “A” and “B” stockholder countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. Series “C” stockholder countries are: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. In addition, there are 13 banks which are Series “B” stockholders.

CAF is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela and has offices in Asuncion, Paraguay; Bogota, Colombia; Brasilia, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; Panama City, Panama; La Paz, Bolivia; Lima, Peru; Madrid, Spain; Montevideo, Uruguay; Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and Quito, Ecuador.

CAF promotes a sustainable development model through credit, non-refundable resources, and support in the technical and financial structuring of projects in the public and private sectors of Latin America.

CAF offers financial and related services to the governments of its stockholder countries, as well as their public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures. CAF’s principal activity is to provide short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertakefeasibility studies for investment opportunities in stockholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds owned and sponsored by other countries and organizations, destined to finance programs agreed upon with donor countries and organizations which are in line with CAF’s policies and strategies.

CAF raises funds to finance its operations from sources both within and outside its stockholder countries.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic, which has generated high volatility in global capital markets with an impact on equity investments and the mark-to-market value of marketable securities, which has recovered and remain stable until February 3, 2021.

To date, CAF has maintained the continuity of its operations, and the demand for loans from our stockholder countries has increased; notwithstanding, decreases or increases have been observed in external risk ratings for most of our borrowers, the most relevant of which include Ecuador and Argentina. During 2020, both countries had successfully reached an agreement with bondholders to restructure some of their respective sovereign external debt, specifically bonds that they have issued in the international capital market. Those sovereign external debt did not pertain to sovereign loans from CAF. COVID-19 has had not material effects on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of CAF for the year ended December 31, 2020.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

  a.

Financial statement presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency.

  b.

Use of estimates – The preparation of the accompanying financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheets, as well as the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the corresponding reporting period. The most important estimates related to the preparation of the accompanyingfinancial statements refer to estimating the allowance for loan losses, and valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments, among others. Management believes these estimates are adequate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  c.

Transactions denominated in other currencies – Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing in international markets on the dates of the transactions. Currency balances other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollarsat year-end exchange rates. Any foreign exchange gains or losses, including related hedge effects, are included in the statements of comprehensive income.

 

  d.

Cash and deposits with banks – Cash and deposits with banks comprised of cash, due from banksand short-term deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less.

 

  e.

Marketable securities – These investments are classified as trading marketable securities, according to management’s intention and are recorded on the trade date. Trading marketable securities are securities that are mainly bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and therefore held for only a short period of time. Trading marketable securities are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses from sales of trading marketable securities and changes in the fair value of trading marketable securities are included in interest income of investments and deposits with banks in the statements of comprehensive income.

 

  f.

Security repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements—CAF has entered into repurchase and/or reverse repurchase agreements, as part of liquidity management. Under a repurchase agreement, CAF transfers securities to a counterparty in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase them at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus interests agreed. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, CAF purchases securities with an agreement to resell them to the counterparty on a specific date for a specific price plus interests, with earlier resale permitted. Reverse repurchase agreements are included in the balance sheets under account “Securities purchased under resale agreement” and interests are included in the statements of comprehensive income under “Investments and deposits with banks”.

All repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements are carried at face value, which approximate fair value due to their short-term in nature and minimal credit risk. There are no open positions as of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

 

  g.

Loans – CAF grants short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities, both to public and private entities, for development and integration programs and projects in stockholder countries.

For credit risk purposes, CAF classifies its loans as follow:

 

  (i)

Sovereign loansInclude loans granted to national, regional or local governments or decentralized institutions and other loans fully guaranteed by national governments.

 

  (ii)

Non-sovereign loansInclude loans granted to corporate and financial sectors (public and private sectors), among others, which are not guaranteed by national governments.

Loans are carried at their unpaid principal balances less: (i) write-offs, (ii) the allowance for loan losses, and (iii) loan commission fees received upon origination net of certain direct origination costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan commission fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the effective interest method and are presented as interest income—loan commissions in the statements of comprehensive income.

Private sector loans that are 90 days overdue or public sector loans that are 180 days overdue are placed on non-accrual status and, as result, the accrual for interest on loans is discontinued unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection.

Interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status is reversed against interest income. The interest on non-accrual loans is accounted for on a cash-basis, until the loansqualify for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Factors considered by management in determining non-accrual are payment status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

When a loan is overdue, CAF will immediately suspend any pending disbursement for said loan and for any other loans in which the client is the borrower, beneficiary or guarantor for CAF. CAF charges late payments fees on these overdue loans.

Loan losses, partial or total, are written off against the allowance for loan losses when management confirms the uncollectability of a loan balance. Subsequent recoveries on written off loans, if any,will be credited to the allowance for loan losses.

CAF maintains risk exposure policies to avoid concentrating its loans in any one country or economic group, which might be affected by market situations or other circumstances. For thispurpose, CAF uses certain measurement parameters, such as: CAF’s stockholders’ equity, total loan balance, exposure to economic groups from public and private sectors, among others. CAF reviews, on a semi-annual basis, the credit risk rating of its loans and classifies the risk into the following categories:

 

  (i)

Satisfactory-excellent – Extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitments.

 

  (ii)

Satisfactory-very good – Strong capacity to meet financial commitments, not significantly vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.

 

  (iii)

Satisfactory-adequate – Adequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.

 

  (iv)

Watch – Acceptable payment capacity however some indicators and elements require special attention otherwise they could result in impairment.

 

  (v)

Special mention – More vulnerable to adverse economic conditions but currently has the capacity to meet financial commitments.

 

  (vi)

Sub-standardCurrently vulnerable and dependent on favorable economic conditions to meet financial commitments.

 

  (vii)

Doubtful – Currently highly vulnerable.

 

  (viii)

Loss – Payment default on financial commitments.

  h.

Troubled debt restructuring – A restructuring of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring ifCAF, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower´s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider.

The concession granted by CAF may include the modifications or renegotiation to the contractualterms of the loans such as interest rate reductions, change in the frequency of payment, extension of loan terms, and other modifications in order to minimize possible economic losses.

Loans whose terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, generally, are identified as non-accrual status. CAFs management evaluates the compliance with the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of the restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status.

 

  i.

Allowance for loan losses – The allowance for expected credit losses is maintained at a level CAF believes to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.

The allowance for loan losses reflects CAF’s current estimate of all expected credit losses based on the information available at the date of the balance sheet, and these information are assessed and updated timely taking into account the market’s characteristics, policies and macroeconomic perspectives to adequately reflect the effect of those changes in borrower credit ratings and therefore in expected credit losses.

For purposes of determining the allowance for expected credit losses, CAF management classifies its loans for credit risk purposes into sovereign loans and non-sovereign loans. The allowance for loan losses is estimated considering the credit risk exposure (undiscounted), cumulative default probability for 1 to 5 year tranches and loss given default, based on external data provided by risk rating agencies, recognizing such life time expected effects in profit or loss for the reporting period.

Sovereign loans within each country exhibit similar risk characteristics, therefore, the allowance for loan losses on sovereign loans is collectively evaluated at country level and established by CAF based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating applicable to the borrower countries, which is determined using the average rating of three recognized international credit rating agenciesat the date of each of the balance sheet presented. The long-term foreign currency debt ratingconsiders a default probability. Given CAF’s status as a de facto preferred creditor and the immunities and privileges conferred by its stockholder countries, which are established in CAF’s Constitutive Agreement and other similar agreements, adjustments are made to reflect a lower default probability – usually equivalent to three levels to the average rating referred above. Historically, none of its sovereign loans has ever been placed in non-accrual status or has been written off. It is not the policy of CAF to restructure its sovereign loans and management does not have any expectation of writing off such loans.

For the non-sovereign loans, the allowance for loan losses is individually evaluated and calculated on a non-discounted cash flow method by considering CAF’s internal rating of each borrower, using the probability of default corresponding to the average rating of the equivalent categories of the international risk-rating agencies.

For those cases where the category equivalent to the rating of a particular borrower determined in accordance with any of the international risk-rating agencies is higher than the risk rating in local currency of

the country corresponding to such borrower, or if for any reason there is no risk rating, the risk rating in local currency of such country determined by international credit rating agencies will be used.

CAF considers that external data provided by risk rating agencies used to determine the probability of default reflects its expectations about the future economic conditions and there are no other adjustments regarding historical loss information and future conditions that should be considered as significant factor to determining the expected collectability.

CAF assesses and determine the loss given default which considers the CAF´s status as a de facto preferred creditor, the immunities and privileges conferred by its stockholder countries, the collateral of each loan, the effect of interest on late payments to avoid the potential impairment derived by the time value of money and the evidence of historical loss data collected for each country through the years. In addition, given the nature of CAF´s lending activities as multilateral bank, in case of delay on payments of sovereign loans, the loss given default reflects the expectation to collect the total amount due, including accrued interests and commissions receivable for the period of delay.

A specific allowance for loan losses is individually evaluated and established by CAF for loans in non-accrual status as these loans do not have the same risk characteristics as other loans. A loan is considered in non-accrual status when, based on currently available information and events, it is probable that CAF will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original loan contract. The allowance for loan losses is determined on a loan by loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the original loan’s effective interest rate.

 

  j.

Equity investments – CAF invests in equity securities of companies and funds in strategic sectors,with the objective of promoting the development of such companies and funds and their participation in the securities markets and to serve as a catalyst in attracting resources to stockholder countries.

If CAF has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, which is generally presumed to exist when CAF holds an ownership interest in the voting stock of an investee between 20% and 50%, the equity investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted to reflect CAF’s proportionate share of earnings or losses, dividends received and certain transactions of the investee Company.

During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, CAF recorded investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, as follows:

 

  (i)

Direct investments in equity securities of companies – These investments, which, do not have readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value, are accounted for at cost minus impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

 

  (ii)

Equity investments in funds – These investments, which do not have readily determinable fair value, is carried at fair value using the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value.

Dividend income from equity investments is recognized when CAF’s right to receive payment has been established.

 

  k.

Property and equipment, net – Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged directly to the statements ofcomprehensive

  income for the year as incurred, while improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, and charged to the statements of comprehensive income over the estimated useful life of assets.

The estimated useful life for assets is as follows:

 

Buildings    30 years
Building improvements    15 years
Leasing building improvements    Term of leasing contract
Furniture and equipment    2 to 10 years
Vehicles    5 years

 

  l.

Other assets – Other assets mainly include the following:

 

  (i)

Derivative-related collateralCAF receives or posts cash collateral from or to individual swap and futures counterparties to mitigate its credit exposure to these counterparties. It is the policy of CAF to restrict and invest cash collateral received from swap and futures counterparties for fulfilling its obligations under the collateral agreement. CAF records cash collateral received in other assets with a corresponding obligation to return the cash collateral received recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash collateral posted to swap and futures counterparties, under the collateral agreement, are recorded in other assets.

 

  (ii)

Intangible assetsInclude software investments which are reported at cost less accumulated amortization. The amortization is calculated with the straight-line method over the useful lifeestimated by CAF. The estimated useful life of these assets is between 2 and 5 years.

 

  m.

Impairment of investment accounted for under the equity method – An investment accounted for under the equity method is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized only if there are circumstances that indicate impairment as a result of one or more events (“loss events”)that have occurred after recognition of such investment.

An impairment charge is recorded whenever a decline in value of an investment below its carrying amount is determined to be other-than-temporary. In determining if a decline is other-than-temporary, factors such as the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying amount of the investment, the near-term and longer-term operating and financial prospects of the affiliate and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery are considered.

 

  n.

Deposits – Deposits denominated in US$ are recorded at amortized cost. Deposits denominated in currencies other than the US$ are recognized at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these deposits are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income when they occur.

 

  o.

Commercial paper – Commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost.

 

  p.

Borrowings from other financial institutions – The borrowings from other financial institutions, both local or foreign financial institutions, are recorded at amortized cost, except for some borrowings that are designated a fair value hedge or as an economic hedge. The up-front costs and fees related to the issuance of borrowings recorded at amortized cost are deferred and reported in the balance sheets as a direct deduction from the face amount of borrowings and amortized during the term of the borrowings as interest expense. The up-front cost and fees related to borrowings that are designated a fair value hedge or as an economic hedge, are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income when they occur.

  q.

Bonds – Medium and long-term bond issuances, whose objective is to provide the financial resources required to finance CAF’s operations, are recorded as follows:

 

  (i)

Bonds denominated in currencies other than the US$ are recognized at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these bonds, as well as the related bond’s up-frontcosts and fees, are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income when they occur. CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps to economically hedge the interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with these bonds.

 

  (ii)

Bond denominated in US$ are recognized at fair value. The interest rate risk on US$denominated bonds is hedged using interest rate swaps, and such interest rate swaps aredesignated as part of fair value hedge accounting relationships assuming no hedgeineffectiveness (the “shortcut method”). The related bond’s up-front costs and fees are deferred and reported in the balance sheets as a direct deduction from the face amount of the bonds, and amortized during the term of the bonds as interest expense.

Partial repurchases of bond issuances result in derecognition of the corresponding liabilities. The difference between the repurchase price and the bond’s carrying amount is recognized as income/loss for the year.

 

  r.

Employees’ severance benefits – Accrual for severance benefits comprises all the liabilities related to the workers’ vested rights according to CAF’s employee policies and the applicable labor law of the member countries. The accrual for employee severance benefits is presented as part of “Employees’ severance benefits and savings plan” account under “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” caption.

Under CAF’s employee policies, employees earn a severance benefit equal to five days of salary per month, up to a total of 60 days per year of service. From the second year of service, employees earn an additional two day salary for each year of service (or fraction of a year greater than six months), cumulative up to a maximum of 30 days of salary per year. Severance benefits are recorded in the accounting records of CAF as they are incurred and interest on the amounts owed to employees are paid annually as a result of employees’ rights to receive severance benefits accrued in the year in which earned.

In the case of unjustified dismissal or involuntary termination, employees have the right to anadditional severance benefit of one month of salary per year of service.

 

  s.

Pension plan – CAF has established a defined benefit plan (the Plan), which is mandatory for all employees hired on or after the establishment of the Plan and voluntary for all other employees. The Plans benefits are calculated based on years of service and the average salary of the three consecutive years in which the employee received the highest salary. CAF periodically updates the benefit obligations considering actuarial assumptions.

 

  t.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities – CAF records all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them.

CAF’s policy is not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. CAF also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged items.

Derivative financial instruments that are considered to be hedges from an accounting perspective are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value either: (1) offset by changes in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings within “Derivative financial instruments assets” or “Derivative financial instruments liabilities” if the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, or (2) recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings if the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value for a hedged derivative is immediately recognized in earnings as a component of “Unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments”, regardless of whether the hedged derivative is designated as a cash flow or fair value hedge. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, CAF, recognizes any changes in its fair value in the statements of comprehensive income.

CAF discontinues hedge accounting prospectively upon determining that the derivative financial instrument is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item; thederivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument, because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or management determines that the designation of the derivative financial instrument as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative financialinstrument no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, CAF continues to carry the derivative financial instrument on the balance sheets at its fair value, but no longer adjusts the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value.

Certain derivative financial instruments, although considered to be an effective hedge froman economic perspective (economic hedge), have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The changes in the fair value of such derivative financial instruments are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income, concurrently with the change in fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.

 

  u.

Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements – An entity is required tomaximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs used to measure fair value may fall into one of three levels:

Level 1 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets foridentical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

  v.

Guarantees – CAF provides guarantees on loans originated by third parties to support projectslocated within a stockholder country that are undertaken by public and private entities. CAF mayoffer guarantees of private credit agreements or it may offer public guarantees of obligations of the securities of third party issuers. CAF generally offers partial credit guarantees with the intention of sharing the risk with private lenders or holders of securities. CAF’s responsibility is limited to paying up to the amount of the guarantee upon default by the client. The guarantee fee income received is deferred and recognized over the period covered by the guarantee.

 

  w.

Provision for guarantees losses – Provision for guarantees is maintained at a level CAF believes adequate to absorb probable losses inherent to the guaranteed loans originated by third parties as of the date of the financial statements. Guaranteed loans are classified as either sovereign ornon-sovereign. Provision for guarantees is estimated by CAF considering the credit risk exposure, default probability and loss given default. Provision for sovereign guarantees losses is based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating of the guarantor countries (“country risk rating”) considering the weighted average rating of three recognized international risk rating agencies at the date of the financial statements preparation. These country risk ratings have associated default probability. Given CAF’s status as a de facto preferred creditor, arising from its status as amultilateral financial institution and from the interest of its borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with CAF, and taking into account the immunities and privileges conferred by itsstockholder countries, which are established in CAF’s Constitutive Agreement and other similar agreements, a factor that reflects a lower default probability – usually equivalent to three levels up in this weighted average rating is used. For non-sovereign guarantees, the provision is determined by considering the CAF internal rating of each client and the weighted average rating of the aforementioned agencies.

The provision for guarantees losses, are reported as other liabilities.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

ASU 2016-13. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets measured at amortized cost, the ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current guidance and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This ASU was adopted by CAF on January 1, 2020, and as a result of such adoption there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to the 2020 opening retained earnings. CAF has followed the modified-retrospective approach and has not applied any practical expedient during the adoption.

As a result of such adoption, during the year 2020 there were a decrease in allowance for loans losses for sovereign loans and an increase in the provision for off-balance-sheet undisbursed loan commitments and non-sovereign guarantee (provision for contingencies).

Recent accounting pronouncements applicable not yet adopted –

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions, for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU will not apply to contract modifications made or other transactions entered after December 31, 2022. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, and will apply through December 31, 2022.

Libor Replacement

The replacement of the LIBOR rates with a new reference rate or rates can be considered an industry risk due the implications it has on the assets as well as the liabilities of financial institutions. In that regard, CAF has been closely following the recent developments and announcements from groups and organizations that are most closely involved with the phasing out of the LIBOR rate that affect the loan and derivatives markets, including the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and its recent publication of the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol which CAF has adhered in January 2021. In addition, CAF has established an interdepartmental task force that is in charge of preparing the institution for the change in reference rate including measures such as the incorporation of fallback provisions on loans in order to mitigate any possible impact the replacement of the LIBOR rate may have.

On the funding side, CAF has ceased issuance of Floating Rate Notes (FRN) linked to LIBOR, and all outstanding LIBOR FRNs will reset before the end of 2021, with the exception of one single issuance that matures on August 1, 2023 for $100 million.

The fair value of trading securities include net unrealized gain of US$ 57,188, US$ 51,964 and US$ 1,750, at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net realized gains from trading securities of US$ 92,619, US$ 202,667 and US$ 34,498 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, are included in the statements of comprehensive income as part of Interest income - Investments and deposits with banks. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the decrease in the net realized gains from trading securities is mainly due to the reduction of benchmark interest rates and the volatility in global capital markets as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.

CAF places its short-term investments mainly in high grade financial institutions and corporate securities. CAF has conservative investment guidelines that limit the amount of credit risk exposure, considering among other factors, limits as to credit ratings, limits as to duration exposure, specific allocations by type of investment instruments and limits across sector and currency allocation. At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, CAF does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk according to its investment guidelines. Non-US dollar-denominated securities included in marketable securities amounted to the equivalent of US$ 26,294, US$ 164,597 and US$ 12,480 at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

CAF maintains an internal risk rating system to evaluate the quality of the non-sovereign loans, which identifies, through a standardized rating and review parameters, those risks related to credit transactions in order to determine an internal risk rating classification designed by CAF. For purpose of determining the allowance for loan losses of sovereign loans at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, rating assigned by external agencies are used.

The credit quality of the sovereign loans of estimating the allowance for credit losses is based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating applicable to the borrower countries, which is determined using the average rating of three recognized international credit rating agencies. The credit quality by year of origination and taking the Moody’s rating as a reference at December 31, 2020 is as follows:

     0.00     0.49     0.49

During the year ended December 31, 2020, a non-sovereign loan, classified as non-accrual status, with an outstanding balance of US$ 36,485 was restructured. The restructuring consisted of an extension of loan term, interest rate reductions and deferment of monthly interest payments until January 2021 resulting in the increase of future cash flows throughout the restructured term of the loan.

At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the total principal amount of non-accrual loans are related to private sector borrowers (non-sovereign loans) which present 1,654 days, 1,289 days and 923 days overdue, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no interest income recognized for non-accrual loans. The allowance of loan losses for loans in non-accrual status amount to US$ 16,200 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and US$ 14,455 at December 31, 2018.

At December 31, 2019, the total principal amount of overdue loans was US$ 129,087 (not including non-accrual loans), representing solely overdue amounts from sovereign loans to Venezuela which was 25 days overdue. At December 31, 2020, there were no overdue loans.

At December 31, 2018, there are outstanding overdue amounts from Venezuela totaling US$ 182,776, comprising, US$ 124,286 of principal and US$ 58,490 of interest and commissions. Those amounts were originally due between December 7, 2018 and December 28, 2018. In April and January 2019, CAF received payments for the total amount of outstanding overdue loans, interest and commissions at December 31, 2018.

On March 31, 2020, CAF implemented the Support Program for the Liquidity Management in Exceptional Situations (the “Program”) approved by CAF’s Shareholders Assembly on March 3, 2020. The Program

 

  F-26  


Table of Contents

allows CAF to repurchase the shares of a stockholder country that fulfills the requirements of the Program and apply the proceeds to that country’s outstanding loans and interest. Pursuant to the Program, during the year ended December 31, 2020, CAF notified Venezuela that it fulfills the requirements and subsequently repurchased a total of 45,501 shares totaling US$ 646,114 and applied that amount to repay due and overdue amounts of principal and interest and deducting the amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital for US$ 227,505 and US$ 418,609, respectively. As a result of the repurchase, as of February 3, 2021, Venezuela is current with its loans with CAF.

At December 31, 2019, balances with Venezuela include past-due installments for US$ 183,033 corresponding to principal for US$ 129,087 and interests and commissions for US$ 53,946. During the year ended December 31, 2019, CAF granted loans for US$ 500,000 to the Central Bank of Venezuela. Venezuela has reiterated its commitment with CAF and its intention to settle the balances owed.

A/B Loans

CAF administers loan-participations sold, and only assumes the credit risk for the portion of the loan owned by CAF. At December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, CAF had loans of this nature amounting to US$ 159,142, US$ 275,436 and US$ 366,048, respectively; whereas other financial institutions provided funds for US$ 92,136, US$ 160,257 and US$ 208,761, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

CAF has adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, along with several other subsequent codification updates related to accounting for credit losses, on January 1, 2020 following the modified-retrospective approach. As of December 31, 2020, the applicable Current Expected Credit Losses (CECL) was applied to assets such as loans measured at amortized cost basis, as well as off-balance-sheet undisbursed loan commitments and financial guarantees. As a result of the adoption there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to the 2020 opening retained earnings.

The current allowance for expected credit losses is maintained at a level CAF believes to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the date of the financial statements and consider available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows including a combination of internal and external information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Thus, we consider the obligations of shareholder countries to pay for their respective callable capital subscriptions to be binding obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the respective governments.

Shares

CAF´s Shares are divided into Series “A” Shares, Series “B” Shares and Series “C” Shares.

 

  (i)

Series “A” shares may be owned only by the Member Countries. The term “Member Country” is defined in Article 3 of CAF’s General Regulations as any shareholder country holding at least one Series “A” share that, either is a signatory to the Constitutive Agreement or, being of Latin America or the Caribbean, has adhered to it (as of the date hereof, the Member Countries are the Argentine Republic, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela). Each Member Country owns one Series “A” share, which is held by the government, either directly or through a government-designated social or public purpose institution. Each of the Member Countries owning a Series “A” share is entitled to elect one (1) Director and one (1) Alternate Director to our Board of Directors. The nominal value of the Series “A” Shares is US$ 1,200.

 

  (ii)

Series “B” shares are currently owned by the Member Countries and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting approximately 0.05% of our outstanding shares, which are owned by 13 private sector financial institutions in the Member Countries. As owners of Series “B” shares, the Member Countries collectively are entitled to elect five (5) additional Directors and five (5) additional Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 13 private sector financial institutions collectively are entitled to elect one (1) Director and one (1) Alternate Director. The nominal value of the Series “B” Shares is US$ 5.

 

  (iii)

Series “C” shares are available for subscription by countries that are not Member Countries to strengthen relationships between these countries and the Member Countries. Series “C” shares are currently owned by eight (8) associated shareholder countries: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. Holders of Series “C” shares collectively are entitled to elect two (2) Directors and two (2) Alternate Directors, and up to two (2) additional Directors with their respective two (2) Alternate Directors if additional new Series “C” Shares are subscribed and paid beyond certain threshold. In order for an additional director to be elected by the series “C” shareholders, the subscription and payment for new series “C” shares must represent an increase of one point five percent (1.5%) of CAF’s subscribed and paid-in capital equity in comparison with the total subscribed and paid-in capital at the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. The nominal value of the Series “C” Shares is US$ 5.

General Reserve

CAF maintains a general reserve approved by the Stockholders’ Assembly, which is considered an equity reserve. Stockholders approved the increase in the general reserve by US$ 292,982, US$ 201,177 and US$ 68,699 during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, through appropriations from net income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Reserve Pursuant to Article N° 42 of the Constitutive Agreement

CAF’s Constitutive Agreement states that at least 10% of annual net income should be appropriated into a reserve fund until that reserve fund amounts to 50% of the subscribed capital. That reserve fund is considered an equity reserve. Additional appropriation may be approved by the stockholders. The Stockholders’ Assembly held in March 2020, 2019 and 2018, authorized an increase in the reserve fund for US$ 32,600, US$ 22,400 and US$ 7,700, through an appropriation from net income for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

TAX EXEMPTIONS

Pursuant to its Constitutive Agreement, CAF is exempt, in all of its Member Countries, from all taxes and tariffs on income, properties or assets, and from any liability involving payment, withholding or collection of any taxes.

In addition, CAF has entered into agreements with each of the associated shareholder countries. Pursuant to these agreements, each country that is a shareholder but do not qualify as a Member Country has agreed to extend to CAF, with respect to its activities in and concerning that country, immunities and privileges similar to those than have been granted to CAF in the Member Countries.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency is managed by swapping marketable securities – trading, loans, borrowings from other financial institutions and bonds, subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in currency other than the U.S. dollar into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF enters into derivative financial instruments to offset the economic changes in value of specifically identified marketable securities – trading, loans, borrowings from other financial institutions and bonds.

Derivative financial instruments held by CAF consist of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings from other financial institutions with fixed interest rates and denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps as an economic hedge (derivative that is entered into to manage a risk but is not accounted as a hedge) for interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with deposits, bonds, borrowings or loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar where CAF’s management elected to measure those liabilities and assets at fair value under the fair value option guidance.

When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty owes CAF, creating credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not have credit risk. CAF minimizes the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.

In order to reduce the credit risk in derivative financial instruments, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap contracts are regularly marked-to-market, and the party being the net obligor is required to post collateral when net mark to-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds. This collateral is in the form of cash.

CAF does not offset for each counterparty, the fair value amount recognized for derivative financial instruments with the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty. CAF reports separately the cumulative gross amounts for the receivable from and payable to for derivative financial instruments.

CAF also utilizes futures derivatives instruments to reduce exposure to price risk. These are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. Initial margin requirements are

met with cash or securities. CAF generally closes out open positions prior to maturity. Therefore, cash receipts or payments are limited to the change in fair value of the future contracts. Additionally, CAF utilizes forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk.

These legally enforceable master netting arrangements give CAF the right to take cash or liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty, in the event of default by the counterparty. The following tables present information about the effect of offsetting of derivative financial instruments, although CAF has elected not to offset any derivative financial instruments by counterparty in the balance sheet:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each financial instrument is classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation methodologies and the key inputs to those methodologies.

When available, CAF generally uses quoted prices in active markets to determine fair value.

If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc.

Where available, CAF may also make use of quoted prices in active markets for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the financial instrument being valued. The frequency and size of trading activity and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed quoted prices from those markets.

The following valuation methodologies are used to estimate the fair value and determine the classification in the fair value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:

 

   

Marketable securities: CAF uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities. These securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans, is determined using a discounted cash flow technique using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. These loans are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Derivative assets and liabilities: Derivative financial instruments transactions contracted and designated by CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both, for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases the fair value is calculated using market prices provided by an independent financial information services company, which are determined using discounted cash flow valuation technique using observable inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Bonds, borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits: For CAFs bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration benchmark interest yield curves at the end of the reporting period to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting market fluctuations of key variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Bonds, borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the discounted cash flow technique.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments not accounted for at fair value:

 

   

Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, other investments, accrued interest and commissions receivable, deposits, commercial paper, accrued interest payable, derivate-related collateral, receivable from investment securities sold and payable for investment securities purchased: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

   

Loans: CAF is one of the few institutions that grant loans for development projects in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by CAF. As rates on variable rate loans are reset on a semiannual basis, the carrying value, adjusted for credit risk, was determined to be the best estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined by using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. The fair value of non-accrual status loans is estimated using the discounted cash flow technique.

 

   

Equity investments: The direct investments in equity securities of companies without a readily determinable fair value are measured at cost, less impairment plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar instrument of the same issuer. At December 2020, 2019 and 2018, the carrying amount of those investments amounted to US$ 114,152, US$ 123,755 and US$ 57,983, respectively, and the effects of impairment and the changes in observable prices for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 amounted to US$ 5,977, US$ 2,874 and US$ 0, respectively. In addition, at December 2020, 2019 and 2018, investments in funds without a readily determinable fair value, with carrying amount of US$ 264,731, US$ 312,746 and US$ 378,174, respectively, are accounted for at fair value applying the practical expedient, using the net asset value per share. These financial instruments are generally classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodology (these instruments are not disclosed in the table above).

 

   

Bonds and borrowings from other financial institutions: For CAFs bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration yield curves to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting the fluctuation of variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Those financial instrument are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodology.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingencies include the following:

 

     December 31,
2020
     December 31,
2019
     December 31,
2018
 

Loan commitments subscribed – eligible

     6,324,230        5,606,684        4,884,248  

Lines of credit

     3,253,540        2,579,633        4,014,161  

Loan commitments subscribed – non eligible

     1,656,000        2,362,122        1,822,170  

Guarantees

     130,556        150,148        165,294  

Equity investments agreements subscribed

     85,399        110,215        133,582  

Letters of credit

     —          —          1,168  

These commitments and contingencies arose from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.

In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend loans; such loan commitments are reported in the above table upon signing the corresponding loan agreement and are reported as loans in the balance sheets when disbursements are made. Loan commitments that have fulfilled the necessary requirements for disbursement are classified as eligible.

The commitments to extend loans have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without a loan being disbursed. Therefore, the amounts of total commitment to extend loans do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Also, based on experience, portions of the loan commitments are disbursed on average two years after the signing of the loan agreement.

The lines of credit are extended to financial and corporate institutions as a facility to grant short term loans basically to finance working capital and international trade activities.

Guarantees mature as follows:

 

     December 31,
2020
     December 31,
2019
     December 31,
2018
 

Less than one year

     6,336        6,524        21,670  

Between one and five years

     62,649        34,649        34,649  

Over five years

     61,571        108,975        108,975  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 
     130,556        150,148        165,294  
  

 

 

    

 

 

    

 

 

 

To the best knowledge of CAF’s management, CAF is not involved in any litigation that is material to CAF’s business or that is likely to have any impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

SPECIAL FUNDS AND OTHER FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT

CAF, as a multilateral financial institution, acts as administrator of several funds owned by third-parties and CAF’s stockholders’ special funds, created to promote technical and financial cooperation, sustainable human development, and management of poverty relief funds in stockholder countries.

The stockholders’ special funds contribute to regional integration and sustainable development through capacity building, increased domestic and international exchanges, generation and use of knowledge, as well as training human resources and fortifying institutions. The stockholders’ special funds are governed by the provisions of the Constitutive Agreement and any other provisions that may be established by the Board of Directors.

The Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approves a maximum amount to be contributed to stockholders’ special funds during the fiscal year and to recognize these contributions as expenses. The Executive President by delegation of the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF may authorize, up to the maximum approved amount, the amounts that will be contributed during the current period, based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders’ special funds.

The resources of the stockholders’ special funds, that come from a contribution by CAF, are completely independent from the resources of CAF and are thus so maintained, accounted for, presented, utilized, invested, committed and otherwise disposed of. With regard to the use of the stockholders’ special funds, the financial responsibility of CAF, as administrator, is limited to the net assets of each of the constituted stockholders’ special funds. CAF has no residual interest in the net assets of the stockholders’ special funds.

In March 2020, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 135,000 to some stockholders’ special funds for 2020. Subsequently, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Executive President directly or by delegation, based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders´ special funds, authorized the contributions of US$ 100,000 and US$ 35,000 to Compensatory Financial Fund (FFC) and Technical Cooperation Fund (FCT), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, CAF recognized US$ 72,015 as an expense and, at December 31, 2020 recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 55,090 which was paid in January 2021.

In March 2019, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 130,000 to some stockholders’ special funds for 2019. Subsequently, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Executive President directly or by delegation, based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders´ special funds, authorized the contributions of US$ 100,000 and US$ 29,226 to FFC and FCT, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2019, CAF recognized US$ 129,226 as an expense and, at December 31, 2019 recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 53,577 which was paid in January 2020.

In March 2018, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 92,000 to some stockholders’ special funds for the year ended December 31, 2018. Subsequently, during the year ended December 31, 2018, the Executive President directly or by delegation, based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders´ special funds, authorized the contributions of US$ 70,000, US$ 16,743, and US$ 1,087 to FFC, FCT, and Human Development Fund (FONDESHU), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2018, CAF recognized US$ 87,830 as an expense and, at December 31, 2018 recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 36,872 which was paid in January 2019.

ORIGIN

Business description – Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) began its operations on June 8, 1970, and was established under public international law which abides by the provisions set forth in its Constitutive Agreement. Series “A” and “B” stockholder countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. Series “C” stockholder countries are: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. In addition, there are 13 banks which are Series “B” stockholders.

CAF is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela and has offices in Asuncion, Paraguay; Bogota, Colombia; Brasilia, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mexico City, Mexico; Panama City, Panama; La Paz, Bolivia; Lima, Peru; Madrid, Spain; Montevideo, Uruguay; Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and Quito, Ecuador.

CAF promotes a sustainable development model through credit, non-refundable resources, and support in the technical and financial structuring of projects in the public and private sectors of Latin America.

CAF offers financial and related services to the governments of its stockholder countries, as well as their public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures. CAF’s principal activity is to provide short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities in stockholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds owned and sponsored by other countries and organizations, destined to finance programs agreed upon with donor countries and organizations which are in line with CAF’s policies and strategies.

CAF raises funds to finance its operations from sources both within and outside its stockholder countries.

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a global pandemic, which has generated high volatility in global capital markets with an impact on equity investments and the mark-to-market value of marketable securities.

To date, CAF has maintained the continuity of its operations, and the demand for loans from our stockholder countries has increased; notwithstanding, decreases or increases have been observed in external risk ratings for most of our borrowers, the most relevant of which include Ecuador and Argentina. During 2020, both countries had successfully reached an agreement with bondholders to restructure some of their respective sovereign external debt, specifically bonds that they have issued in the international capital market. Those sovereign external debt did not pertain to sovereign loans from CAF. COVID-19 has had not material effects on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of CAF as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

 

This condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with CAF’s audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 and the notes thereto (“audited financial statements”).

For a detailed discussion about CAF´s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the audited financial statements. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, there were significant updates to CAF´s significant accounting policies, which are detailed below:

ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions, for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this ASU will not apply to contract modifications made or other transactions entered after December 31, 2022. The ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 and will apply through December 31, 2022.

Libor Replacement

The replacement of the LIBOR rates with a new reference rate or rates can be considered an industry risk due the implications it has on the assets as well as the liabilities of financial institutions. In that regard, CAF has been closely following the recent developments and announcements from groups and organizations that are most closely involved with the phasing out of the LIBOR rate that affect the loan and derivatives markets, including the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and its recent publication of the ISDA 2020 IBOR Fallbacks Protocol which CAF has adhered in January 2021. In addition, CAF has established an interdepartmental task force that is in charge of preparing the institution for the change in reference rate including measures such as the incorporation of fallback provisions on loans in order to mitigate any possible impact the replacement of the LIBOR rate may have.

On the funding side, CAF has ceased issuance of Floating Rate Notes (FRN) linked to LIBOR, and all outstanding LIBOR FRNs will reset before the end of 2021, with the exception of one single issuance that matures on August 1, 2023 for $100 million.

Each certificate of deposit bears a maturity date and specified fixed interest rate. It also is held through The Depository Trust Company (DTC) and has a CUSIP number, which is a code that identifies a financial security and facilitates trading.

(2)

The liquidity funds are comprised of short-term (less than one year) securities representing high-quality liquid debt and monetary instruments.

The fair value of trading securities includes net unrealized gain of US$ 26,302 and US$ 19,729, at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Net realized gain and losses from trading securities of US$ 12,866 and US$ 22,498 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are included in the statements of comprehensive income as part of Interest income - Investments and deposits with banks. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the increase in the net realized losses from trading securities is mainly due to the reduction of benchmark interest rates and the volatility in global capital markets as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.

CAF places its short-term investments mainly in high grade financial institutions and corporate securities. CAF has conservative investment guidelines that limit the amount of credit risk exposure, considering among other factors, limits as to credit ratings, limits as to duration exposure, specific allocations by type of investment instruments and limits across sector and currency allocation. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CAF does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk according to its investment guidelines. Non-US dollar-denominated securities included in marketable securities amounted to the equivalent of US$ 218,547 and US$ 26,294 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

CAF maintains an internal risk rating system to evaluate the quality of the non-sovereign loans, which identifies, through a standardized rating and review parameters, those risks related to credit transactions in order to determine an internal risk rating classification designed by CAF. For purpose of determining the allowance for loan losses of sovereign loans at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 rating assigned by external agencies are used.

The credit quality of the sovereign loans of estimating the allowance for credit losses is based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating applicable to the borrower countries, which is determined using the average rating of three recognized international credit rating agencies. The credit quality by year of origination and taking the Moody’s rating as a reference at March 31, 2021 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020

and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, a non-sovereign loan, classified as non-accrual status, with an outstanding balance of US$ 36,485 was restructured. The restructuring consisted of an extension of loan term, interest rate reductions and deferment of monthly interest payments until January 2021 resulting in the increase of future cash flows throughout the restructured term of the loan. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, CAF has been received interest payments according to the restructuring agreement.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total principal amount of non-accrual loans are related to private sector borrowers (non-sovereign loans) which present 1,744 days and 1,654 days overdue, respectively. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no interest income recognized for non-accrual loans. The allowance of loan losses for loans in non-accrual status amount to US$ 16,200 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

On March 31, 2020, CAF implemented the Support Program for the Liquidity Management in Exceptional Situations (the “Program”) approved by CAF’s Shareholders Assembly on March 3, 2020. The Program allows CAF to repurchase the shares of a stockholder country that fulfills the requirements of the Program and apply the proceeds to that country’s outstanding loans and interest. Pursuant to the Program, CAF notified Venezuela that it fulfills the requirements and subsequently repurchased a total of 50,079 shares totaling US$ 711,122 and applied that amount to repay due and overdue amounts of principal and interest and deducting the amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital for US$ 250,395 and US$ 460,727, respectively, as of March 31, 2021. At December 31, 2020, CAF repurchased 45,501 shares totaling US$ 646,114 deducting the amount of paid-in capital and additional paid-in capital for US$ 227,505 and US$ 418,609, respectively. As a result of the repurchase, as of May 14, 2021, Venezuela is current with its loans with CAF.

A/B Loans

CAF administers loan-participations sold, and only assumes the credit risk for the portion of the loan owned by CAF. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, CAF had loans of this nature amounting to US$ 157,777 and US$ 159,142, respectively; whereas other financial institutions provided funds for US$ 91,220 and US$ 92,136, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The current allowance for expected credit losses is maintained at a level CAF believes to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the date of the financial statements and consider available information relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows including a combination of internal and external information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Changes in the allowance and the balance for loan losses over the outstanding amounts, individually and collectively evaluated, are presented below:

TAX EXEMPTIONS

Pursuant to its Constitutive Agreement, CAF is exempt, in all of its Member Countries, from all taxes and tariffs on income, properties or assets, and from any liability involving payment, withholding or collection of any taxes.

In addition, CAF has entered into agreements with each of the associated shareholder countries. Pursuant to these agreements, each country that is a shareholder but do not qualify as a Member Country has agreed to extend to CAF, with respect to its activities in and concerning that country, immunities and privileges similar to those than have been granted to CAF in the Member Countries.

 

13.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency is managed by swapping marketable securities—trading, loans, borrowings from other financial institutions and bonds, subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in currency other than the U.S. dollar into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF enters into derivative financial instruments to offset the economic changes in value of specifically identified marketable securities – trading, loans, borrowings from other financial institutions and bonds.

Derivative financial instruments held by CAF consist of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings from other financial institutions with fixed interest rates and denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps as an economic hedge (derivative that is entered into to manage a risk but is not accounted as a hedge) for interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with deposits, bonds, borrowings or loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar where CAF’s management elected to measure those liabilities and assets at fair value under the fair value option guidance.

When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty owes CAF, creating credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not have credit risk. CAF minimizes the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.

In order to reduce the credit risk in derivative financial instruments, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap contracts are regularly marked-to-market, and the party being the net obligor is required to post collateral when net mark to-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds. This collateral is in the form of cash.

CAF does not offset for each counterparty, the fair value amount recognized for derivative financial instruments with the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty. CAF reports separately the cumulative gross amounts for the receivable from and payable to for derivative financial instruments.

CAF also utilizes futures derivatives instruments to reduce exposure to price risk. These are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. Initial margin requirements are met with cash or securities. CAF generally closes out open positions prior to maturity. Therefore, cash receipts or payments are limited to the change in fair value of the future contracts. Additionally, CAF utilizes forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each financial instrument is classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation methodologies and the key inputs to those methodologies.

When available, CAF generally uses quoted prices in active markets to determine fair value.

If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc.

(In thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

 

Where available, CAF may also make use of quoted prices in active markets for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the financial instrument being valued. The frequency and size of trading activity and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed quoted prices from those markets.

The following valuation methodologies are used to estimate the fair value and determine the classification in the fair value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:

 

   

Marketable securities: CAF uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities. These securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans, is determined using a discounted cash flow technique using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. These loans are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Derivative assets and liabilities: Derivative financial instruments transactions contracted and designated by CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both, for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases the fair value is calculated using market prices provided by an independent financial information services company, which are determined using discounted cash flow valuation technique using observable inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

   

Bonds, borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits: For CAFs bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration benchmark interest yield curves at the end of the reporting period to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting market fluctuations of key variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Bonds, borrowings from other financial institutions and deposits are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the discounted cash flow technique.

   1      637,455        637,455        14,960        14,960  

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments not accounted for at fair value:

 

   

Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, other investments, accrued interest and commissions receivable, deposits, commercial paper, accrued interest payable, derivate-related collateral, receivable from investment securities sold and payable for investment securities purchased: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

   

Loans: CAF is one of the few institutions that grant loans for development projects in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by CAF. As rates on variable rate loans are reset on a semiannual basis, the carrying value, adjusted for credit risk, was determined to be the best estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined by using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. The fair value of non-accrual status loans is estimated using the discounted cash flow technique.

 

   

Equity investments: The direct investments in equity securities of companies without a readily determinable fair value are measured at cost, less impairment plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar instrument of the same issuer. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of those investments amounted to US$ 113,325 and US$ 114,152. In addition, at

March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investments in funds without a readily determinable fair value, with carrying amount of US$ 272,250 and US$ 264,731, respectively, and the effects of impairment and the changes in observable prices for three-month period ended at March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to US$ 10.474 and US$ (36) respectively are accounted for at fair value applying the practical expedient, using the net asset value per share. These financial instruments are generally classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodology (these instruments are not disclosed in the table above).

 

   

Bonds and borrowings from other financial institutions: For CAFs bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration yield curves to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting the fluctuation of variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingencies include the following:

 

     March
31, 2021
     December
31, 2020
 

Loan commitments subscribed – eligible

     6,051,475        6,324,230  

Lines of credit

     3,525,761        3,253,540  

Loan commitments subscribed – non eligible

     1,475,785        1,656,000  

Guarantees

     129,212        130,556  

Equity investments agreements subscribed

     83,360        85,399  

These commitments and contingencies arose from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.

In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend loans; such loan commitments are reported in the above table upon signing the corresponding loan agreement and are reported as loans in the balance sheets when disbursements are made. Loan commitments that have fulfilled the necessary requirements for disbursement are classified as eligible.

The commitments to extend loans have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without a loan being disbursed. Therefore, the amounts of total commitment to extend loans do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Also, based on experience, portions of the loan commitments are disbursed on average two years after the signing of the loan agreement.

The lines of credit are extended to financial and corporate institutions as a facility to grant short term loans basically to finance working capital and international trade activities.

Guarantees mature as follows:

 

     March
31, 2021
     December
31, 2020
 

Less than one year

     6,432        6,336  

Between one and five years

     62,649        62,649  

Over five years

     60,131        61,571  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
     129,212        130,556  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

To the best knowledge of CAF’s management, CAF is not involved in any litigation that is material to CAF’s business or that is likely to have any impact on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Management has determined that CAF has only one operating and reportable segment since it does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of

individual operations. CAF does not differentiate on the basis of the nature of the products or services provided the preparation process, or the method for providing services among individual countries.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, loans made to or guaranteed by five countries individually generated in excess, of 10% of interest income on loans, as follows:

Bogotá, Colombia, July 12, 2021

Dear Sirs:

In my capacity as Acting General Counsel to Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”), I am familiar with provisions of the treaty of February 7, 1968 establishing CAF, as amended (the “Constitutive Agreement”), and have examined copies of such documents as I have deemed necessary with respect to the entry into force of the Constitutive Agreement.

I have reviewed the Registration Statement under Schedule B of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed by CAF with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on or about July 12, 2021, pursuant to which CAF proposes to offer from time to time up to an aggregate initial offering price of USD 3,500,000,000 of its guarantees (the “Guarantees”) or its Debt Securities (the “Debt Securities”).

I am also familiar with:

 

i.

The provisions of the form of Fiscal Agency Agreement (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) between CAF and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Fiscal Agent, relating to the issue from time to time of the Debt Securities, filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement;

 

ii.

The form of Debt Security filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement; and

 

iii.

The proceedings taken by CAF to authorize the issue and sale of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees and the taking of such other action necessary or appropriate therefore, including, without limitation, (a) the signing of the Fiscal Agency Agreement, and (b) the registration of the Debt Securities and the Guarantees under the United States Securities Act of 1933.

I have reviewed copies of such other documents and have made such investigations as I have deemed necessary to give this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion as follows:

 

  1.

The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by CAF.

 

  2.

The Fiscal Agency Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of CAF in accordance with its terms.

 

  3.

When the issuance of the Debt Securities and approval of the final terms thereof have been duly authorized by appropriate corporate action and when the Debt Securities have been duly signed and delivered by CAF and authenticated by the Fiscal Agent in accordance with the Fiscal Agency Agreement, the Debt Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of CAF in accordance with their terms.

 

  4.

When the issuance of the Guarantees and approval of the final terms thereof have been duly authorized by appropriate corporate action and when the Guarantees have been duly executed and delivered by CAF in accordance with the relevant guarantee agreement, subject to the final terms of the Guarantees being in compliance with applicable law, the Guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of CAF in accordance with their terms.

 

  5.

The filing of the Registration Statement has been duly authorized, and it has been duly executed on behalf of CAF.

 

  6.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption “Validity of the Debt Securities” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, I do not thereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the United States Securities Act of 1933.
