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 $1,500,000,000 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.

Except as otherwise specified, all amounts in this prospectus are expressed in United States dollars (“dollars,” “$,” “U.S.$” or “U.S. dollars”).

This prospectus may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Exchange Act. 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 Republics of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, each of which we refer to in this prospectus as a full member shareholder country and which we refer to collectively in this prospectus as the full member shareholder countries. At December 31, 2009, the full member shareholder countries of CAF collectively accounted for 77.2%1 of the nominal value of our paid-in capital. The other shareholder countries of CAF are Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Spain and Trinidad and Tobago, each of which we refer to in this prospectus as an associated shareholder country and which we refer to collectively in this prospectus as the associated shareholder countries. At December 31, 2009, our associated shareholder countries collectively accounted for 22.8%2 of the nominal value of our paid-in capital. Our shares are also held by 14 financial institutions based in the full member shareholder countries, which collectively accounted for 0.1% of the nominal value of the paid-in capital at December 31, 2009. CAF commenced operations in 1970. Our headquarters are in Caracas, Venezuela, and we have regional offices in Bogota, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Panama City, Montevideo, Madrid and Quito.
We offer financial and related services to the governments of, and public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures 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. In 1996, the Constitutive Agreement was amended to include and further increase certain lending and borrowing limitations previously set forth in these operational policies. See “Operations of CAF — Credit Policies”.
We raise funds for operations both within and outside 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.
Our objective is to support sustainable development and economic integration within Latin America and the Caribbean by helping our shareholder countries make their economies diversified, competitive and more responsive to social needs.
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
1 Brazil and Uruguay became full member shareholder countries after December 31, 2009; on December 31, 2009, only Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela were full member shareholder countries.

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 by any of the full member shareholder countries 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, except Chile (ratification by Chile is currently pending). 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.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds of the sale of the securities to fund our lending operations.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
General
Our authorized capital is $10.0 billion, of which $6.5 billion will be paid-in capital and $3.5 billion will be callable capital.
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. 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 Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela, and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting 0.1% of our outstanding shares, which are owned by 14 private sector financial institutions in the full member shareholder countries. We offered and sold Series “B” shares to private sector financial institutions in 1989 in order to obtain the benefit of their views in the deliberations of our Board of Directors. Currently, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela, as owners of Series “B” shares, collectively are entitled to elect five additional Directors and five Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 14 private sector owners of Series “B” shares collectively are entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director.
Series “C” shares are currently owned by ten associated shareholder countries: Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Spain and Trinidad and Tobago. We make available Series “C” shares for subscription by countries which are not full member shareholder countries in order to strengthen links between these countries and the full member shareholder countries. Ownership of our Series “C” shares by these countries makes entities in these countries that deal with entities in full member shareholder countries eligible to receive loans from us with respect to these dealings. 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 corporations or individuals, except that no more than 49% of the Series “B” shares within any country may be held by private shareholders. Series “C” shares may be held by or transferred to public or private entities outside the full member shareholder countries. Unless a shareholder country withdraws, Series “A” and Series “B” shares may only be transferred within such country.
An amendment to the Constitutive Agreement became effective on July 9, 2008, which (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) expands CAF’s formal purpose to include 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, CAF’s Extraordinary Shareholder’s Meeting approved the terms and conditions precedent by which Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay and Uruguay may become contracting parties to the Constitutive Agreement, may become full member shareholder countries and may own Series “A” shares. As of the date of this prospectus, Brazil and Uruguay have ceased to be Series “C” shareholder countries, have adhered to the Constitutive Agreement and now possess Series “A” shares; Panama has adhered to the Constitutive Agreement, but has not yet acquired a Series “A” share.
Note:
All figures at December 31, 2009 which reference full member shareholder countries only include the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, and the Bolivarian Republic of
5
Venezuela. All figures at December 31, 2009 which reference “associated shareholder countries” encompass all other shareholder countries, which include associated shareholder countries that became full member shareholder countries after such date.
Similarly, use of the term “full member shareholder countries” without any date referenced thereto includes all countries which currently enjoy said status (the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela). Use of the term “associated shareholder countries” without any referenced date includes all other shareholder countries that are not currently full member shareholder countries.
Paid-in Capital and Capital Receivable
At December 31, 2009, CAF’s subscribed paid-in and receivable capital was $2.8 billion, of which $2.5 billion was paid-in capital and $324.5 million was capital receivable in installments. Over the years, we have had several increases of subscribed capital. Our most recent capital increases occurred in 2008 and 2009.
Since 1990, capital contributions to CAF have included a premium (valor patrimonial) paid on each share purchased. This premium is in addition to the nominal $5,000 per share value established by CAF’s by-laws. The premium is determined at the beginning of each subscription and applies to all payments under that subscription.
A list of selected capital contributions follows:
Argentina

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. 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. The general reserve is invested in short-term securities and certificates of deposit that are easily convertible into cash. The mandatory reserves are an accounting reserve.
At December 31, 2009, our reserves totaled $2.0 billion. At such date, the mandatory reserve amounted to $358.7 million, or 12.8% of subscribed paid-in and receivable capital, and the general reserve amounted to $1.7 billion.
9
Callable Capital
In addition to our subscribed paid-in and receivable capital, our shareholders have subscribed to callable capital totaling $1.3 billion at December 31, 2009. 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.
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
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-6 and the unaudited interim financial information and notes thereto beginning on page F-34 of this prospectus.
Summary of Results
During the three years ended December 31, 2009, our net income decreased at a compound average annual rate of approximately 23.5%. Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $234.7 million, representing a decrease of $76.8 million, or 24.6%, over net income for 2008. This decrease resulted principally from the decrease in market interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our net income was $311.5 million, representing a decrease of $89.3 million, or 22.3%, over net income of $400.8 million for 2007. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates.
Our net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 was $40.7 million, representing a decrease of $28.0 million, or 40.8%, compared to net income of $68.7 million for the corresponding period in 2009. This decrease resulted principally from the decline in market interest rates compared to the same period in 2009.
The reported percentage increase (decrease) in real GDP for 2009 for each of the full member shareholder countries was as follows: Bolivia, 3.7%; Brazil, (0.2%); Colombia, 0.4%; Ecuador, (1.4%); Peru, 0.9%; Uruguay, 1.4%; and Venezuela, (3.3%).
During 2008 and 2009, the financial crisis and global economic recession affected our business, but thus far these events have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. Based on our investment strategy and given our investment guidelines, our liquid investment portfolio is of short duration and has no material exposure to structured products such as mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities. As a result, our net unrealized losses on this portfolio were immaterial during 2008 and 2009 and were attributable principally to two defaulted securities in 2008. In addition, the widening of credit spreads during 2008 and 2009 increased our borrowing costs, the effect of which was partially offset by increases in the interest rates we charge our borrowers. Also, lower rates for LIBOR, which is the basis for the interest payable on both our external debt and on the loans in our loan portfolio, resulted in a lower net interest margin for our business. Moreover, we continue to have no non-performing loans despite the economic deterioration during 2008 and 2009. Management anticipates that our loan portfolio will continue to grow as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, principally through additional capital subscriptions by several of our existing shareholder countries as well as the issuance of shares to new shareholder countries, which may result in increased loan demand for projects in such countries. Additionally, the financial crisis and recession have increased demand for our loans in our shareholder countries.
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 1 (“Significant Accounting Policies”) to our audited financial statements. We believe that some of the more significant accounting policies we use to present our financial results, discussed below, 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, the fair values for all the financial assets and liabilities recorded in CAF’s financial statements are determined according to the procedures established by the accounting pronouncement SFAS 157
12
(codified in ASC 820). We have not changed or reclassified any transaction from one level to another pursuant to the hierarchy reflected in the SFAS 157 (codified in ASC 820), thereby maintaining consistency in the application of accounting principles in this matter.
Income Statement
Interest Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our interest income was $86.8 million, representing a decrease of $54.9 million, or 38.8%, compared to interest income of $141.7 million for the corresponding period in 2009. This decrease resulted principally from a decline in market interest rates, to which rates on our loans are related, that more than offset the impact of increased outstanding loan levels.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our interest income was $483.9 million, representing a decrease of $168.5 million, or 25.8%, compared to interest income of $652.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease resulted principally from a decline in market interest rates. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2008 represented a decrease of $171.3 million, or 20.8%, compared to interest income of $826.64 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This decrease resulted principally from a decline in market interest rates, to which rates on our loans are related, that more than offset the impact of increased outstanding loan levels.
Interest Expense
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our interest expense was $37.6 million, representing a decrease of $21.5 million, or 36.4%, compared to interest expense of $59.0 million for the corresponding period in 2009. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our interest expense was $188.7 million, representing a decrease of $139.2 million, or 42.4%, from our interest expense of $327.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in market interest rates. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 represented a decrease of $86.0 million, or 20.8%, from our interest expense of $413.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates.
Net Interest Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our net interest income was $49.2 million, representing a decrease of $33.5 million, or 40.5%, compared to net interest income of $82.7 million for the corresponding period in 2009. Our net interest income margin decreased to 1.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, as compared to 2.5% for the corresponding period in 2009, principally as a result of a decrease in market interest rates given our high capitalization ratio.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our net interest income was $295.1 million, representing a decrease of $29.3 million, or 9.0%, over net interest income of $324.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, which, in turn, represented a decrease of $85.3 million, or 20.8%, as compared to our net interest income of $409.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. Our net interest income margin was 2.1% in 2009, compared to 2.6% in 2008 and 4.1% in 2007. This decrease in net interest income margin in 2009 resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates given our high capitalization ratio.
13
Provision for Loan Losses
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $7.0 million, compared with a credit for loan losses of $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2009. Changes in the provision for loan losses were mainly due to the corresponding increase of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio was 1.2% for the first three months of 2010, compared to 1.3% for the same period in 2009.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our credit for loan losses was $1.7 million, compared to a credit for loan losses of $23.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and a credit for loan losses of $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio was 1.2% for 2009, 1.4% for 2008 and 1.8% for 2007. This decrease over time is due to an improvement in some of our shareholder countries’ credit ratings.
The credits and provisions in the periods described above reflect management’s estimates for both general and specific provisions. The specific provision is related to loans that have been adversely classified. The calculation of the amount set aside as the general provision is based on the sovereign ratings of the shareholder countries and their related probabilities of default, as provided by the major rating agencies, adjusted to take into account our privileges and immunities in our full member shareholder countries. The specific provision is calculated according to the requirements of SFAS 114 (codified in ASC 310-10-35) and SFAS 118 (codified in ASC 310-10-35).
Non-Interest Income
Our non-interest income consists principally of commissions, dividends and equity in earnings of investments and other income.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our non-interest income was $1.4 million, representing an increase of $0.6 million, or 66.2%, over non-interest income of $0.9 million for the corresponding period in 2009. This increase resulted principally from an increase in dividends, as well as an increase in gains in equity investments.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our total non-interest income was $14.0 million, representing an increase of $4.5 million, or 46.9%, from total non-interest income of $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, which represented a decrease of $22.0 million, or 69.8%, compared to total non-interest income of $31.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in total non-interest income in 2009 over 2008 resulted principally from an increase in dividends and equity in earnings of investees, and the decrease in 2008 as compared to 2007 resulted principally from a decrease in dividends, as well as a decrease in gains in equity investments.
Non-Interest Expenses
Our non-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses, representing 99.8% of total non-interest expenses in 2009.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our non-interest expenses totaled $15.8 million, representing an increase of $1.9 million, or 13.6%, compared to non-interest expenses of $13.9 million for the corresponding period in 2009. More than 99% of non-interest expenses in both periods were comprised of administrative expenses. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our total average assets were 0.4%, at the same level as for the same period in 2009.
2009, 2008 and 2007. For the year ended December 31, 2009, our total non-interest expenses were $62.7 million, representing an increase of $3.7 million, or 6.4%, over total non-interest expenses of $59.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, representing an increase of $7.7 million, or 14.9%, over total non-interest expenses of $51.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in 2009 resulted principally from an increase in administrative expenses given the expansion of our full member shareholder country base and the creation of two business hubs to be located in our current offices in Panama and Uruguay.
14
For the year ended December 31, 2009, administrative expenses were $62.6 million, or 0.4% of our total average assets, representing an increase of $6.1 million over administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008, administrative expenses were $56.5 million, or 0.4% of our total average assets, representing an increase of $5.3 million over administrative expenses of $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. These increases resulted principally from the impact of local currency expenses in Venezuela. Nevertheless, from December 31, 2007 to December 31, 2009, our administrative expenses have decreased as a percentage of our total average assets.
Equity investments, which do not have readily determinable fair values, in which we have a participation of less than 20% of the investee’s equity are required to be recorded at cost according to U.S. GAAP. Also, management is required to assess the value of these investments and determine whether any value impairment is temporary or other than temporary. Impairment charges must be taken once management has determined that the loss of value is other than temporary. As a result of the analysis of these equity investments, management determined impairment charges as follows: $0 in 2009, $1.2 million in 2008 and $82,000 in 2007. These impairment charges represented 0.0%, 1.5% and 0.1% of our equity investments at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The impairment charges were distributed as follows according to the type of investment:

Balance Sheet
Total Assets and Liabilities
March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, our total assets were $16.8 billion, representing an increase of $0.9 billion, or 5.7%, over total assets of $15.9 billion at December 31, 2009. At March 31, 2010, our total liabilities were $11.4 billion, representing an increase of $0.8 million, or 7.8%, over total liabilities of $10.6 billion at December 31, 2009. The increase in assets resulted primarily from a corresponding increase in the loan portfolio and the increase in liabilities is explained by an increase in funding to respond to the demand for loans from borrowers in our shareholder countries.
2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009, our total assets were $15.9 billion, representing an increase of $1.7 billion, or 11.8%, over total assets of $14.2 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase in our total assets principally reflected an increase in liquid assets as well as in the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2009, our total liabilities were $10.6 billion, representing an increase of $0.9 billion, or 9.8%, over total liabilities of $9.7 billion at December 31, 2008. The increase in our total liabilities resulted from higher funding requirements.

15
Restructured Loans
March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the total principal amount of outstanding restructured loans was $3.6 million, or 0.03% of the total loan portfolio, all of which represented one loan to a private sector borrower in Bolivia. This represented the same level of total principal amount of outstanding restructured loans at December 31, 2009, which was $3.6 million, or 0.03% of the total loan portfolio.
2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009, the total principal amount of outstanding restructured loans was $3.6 million, or 0.03% of the total loan portfolio, and was unchanged from the level at December 31, 2008. The total amount represented one loan to a private sector borrower in Bolivia.
Loan Write-offs and Recoveries
March 31, 2010. There were no loan write-offs during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, and there were no write-offs in the corresponding period of 2009. We booked recoveries of $1.8 thousand during the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and $1.8 thousand during the corresponding period of 2009.
2009 and 2008. There were no loan write-offs in 2009. A total of $4.0 million of the principal amount of one loan was written off in 2008. We booked recoveries of $2.4 million and $1.9 million during 2009 and 2008, respectively.
See “Operations of CAF — Asset Quality” for further information regarding our asset quality. See “Operations of CAF — Loan Portfolio” for details regarding the distribution of our loans by country and economic sector.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We enter into off-balance sheet arrangements in the normal course of our business to facilitate our business and objectives and reduce our exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These arrangements, which may involve elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts recognized on our balance sheet, primarily include (1) credit agreements subscribed and pending disbursement, (2) lines and letters of credit for foreign trade and (3) partial credit guarantees of shareholder country obligations. For further discussion of these arrangements, see Note 20 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to our audited financial statements.
Liquidity
We seek to ensure adequate liquidity by maintaining liquid assets in an amount exceeding the greater of:
(1) 45% of total undisbursed project loan commitments; and
(2) 35% of the sum of our next 12 months’
(a) estimated debt service, plus
(b) estimated project loan disbursements.
Our investment policy requires that at least 80% of our liquid assets be held in the form of investment grade instruments with a rating of A-/A3/A- or better. The remaining portion may be invested in non-investment grade instruments with a rating of B-/Ba3/B- or better. Our investment policy emphasizes security and liquidity over yield.
March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2010, our liquid assets consisted of $3.9 billion of cash, time deposits and securities, of which 97.9% were invested in investment grade instruments with a rating of A-/A3/A- or better. At March 31, 2010, 34.2% of our liquid assets were invested in time deposits in financial institutions rated “A−” or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization.
2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009, our liquid assets consisted of $3.7 billion of cash, time deposits and securities, of which 97.0% were invested in investment grade instruments with a rating of A-/A3/A- or better; 39.1% of our liquid assets were invested in time deposits in financial institutions rated “A−” or better
16
by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. At December 31, 2008, our liquid assets amounted to $3.2 billion, of which 94.8% were invested in instruments with a rating of A-/A3/A- or better by such rating organization.
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 our markets, either directly or through financial intermediaries. See “Operations of CAF” below.
17
OPERATIONS OF CAF
CAF’s 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.
CAF also provides 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 five 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 infrastructure projects and the analysis of public policies within the different development sectors; | |
• | Corporate and Financial Sector, which is responsible for our relationships with private sector corporations and financial institutions, while simultaneously furnishing advisory services to our clients; | |
• | Social and Environmental Development, which is responsible for investments in social and environmental areas and in micro, small and medium size enterprises; and | |
• | Development Strategies and Public Policies, which is responsible for developing strategies, policies and initiatives within the corporation’s mission and objectives, as well as coordinating the financing of SMEs (small and medium 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.
18
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 intermediary 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 endeavour 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 our 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 us. Under such multisectoral 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 us regardless of whether the underlying borrower repays the financial intermediary.
We endeavour 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. The “A” portion of the loan is made directly to the borrower by us. Under the “B” portion, banks provide the funding and assume the credit risk. Because we act as the lender of record for the entire loan, commercial banks are exempted from country risk provisions and, therefore, 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 our 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 1.0% of the total loan amount and a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum on undisbursed loan balances. Substantially all loans are denominated in U.S. dollars.
19
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 us.
During the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, our total assets grew at a compound average annual rate of 12.3%, in part reflecting the economic growth in most of the full member shareholder countries. At December 31, 2009, our total assets were $15.9 billion, of which $11.7 billion, or 73.6%, were disbursed and outstanding loans. At December 31, 2009, the “B” loan portion of our “A/B” loan transactions totaled $898.9 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. During this three-year period, our lending portfolio grew at a compound average annual rate of 10.6%. Our management expects further loan growth to be funded by additional borrowings and deposits, retained earnings and planned capital increases.

(2) | Loans outside the full member shareholder countries, of which $907 million was approved and $1,022.0 million was disbursed to entities in Brazil in 2009. |
During the three years ended December 31, 2009, the growth rate of loans by country was as follows: Bolivia, 5.5%; Colombia, 1.7%; Ecuador, -2.3%; Peru, 1.6%; and Venezuela, 9.6%. The growth of the loan portfolio during the three-year period reflects increases in loan approvals as a result of the region’s economic growth during the period 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 $3,152.4 million in 2009, compared to $2,052.3 million and $1,450.8 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. To date, our loans in associated shareholder countries have primarily been to Brazilian borrowers; Brazil became a full member shareholder country on January 7, 2010. Management expects loans to the new full member shareholder countries (Brazil and Uruguay) to increase as a percentage of the total loan portfolio.
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 80% of our liquid assets be held in the form of investment grade instruments with a rating of A-/A3/A- or better. The remaining portion may be invested in unrated or non-investment grade instruments with a minimum rating of B-/Ba3/B-. At December 31, 2009, our liquid assets consisted of $3.7 billion of cash, time deposits and securities, of which 39.1% consisted of time deposits.
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 total 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 total shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2009, the carrying value of our equity investments totaled $85.5 million, representing 1.6% of our total shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2009, 47.1% 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 net worth. The
24
amount of credit guarantees outstanding was $179.4 million at December 31, 2009, representing the guarantee of two public sector projects in Bolivia, one public sector project in Peru and two private sector projects in Brazil. Those credit guarantees represent 0.03% of our total net worth.
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
At December 31, 2009, we acted as fund administrator for several funds, totaling $322.3 million, funded by third parties and by our shareholders.
Each year, these funds are usually re-capitalized by our shareholders through distributions made from CAF’s prior year’s net income. In 2009, 2008 and 2007, such distributions to these funds were $70.0 million, $92.5 million and $88.0 million from the net income of 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These funds are not part of CAF’s accounts.
At December 31, 2009, the principal funds were the Technical Co-operation Fund, the Fund for Human Development, the Compensatory Financing Fund, the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises, Latin American Carbon Program, the Fund for the Promotion of Sustainable Infrastructure Projects, and the Fund for Border Integration and Cooperation.
Technical Co-operation Fund
At December 31, 2009, the Technical Co-operation Fund had a balance of $24.8 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 $100,000 each to facilitate the implementation of those projects.
Fund for Human Development
At December 31, 2009, the Fund for Human Development had a balance of $20.2 million. This fund is devoted to assist 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, 2009, the Compensatory Financing Fund had a balance of $202.9 million. This fund was created to provide interest rate compensation when a project providing social or developmental benefits is otherwise unable to sustain market interest rates.
Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises
At December 31, 2009, the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises had a balance of $35.2 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.
Latin American Carbon Program
At December 31, 2009, the Latin American Carbon Program had a balance of $8.0 million. This program is dedicated to the implementation of market mechanisms that allow developing countries to participate in the environmental services market. The program is engaged in the emerging greenhouse gas reductions market in Latin America and the Caribbean through several mechanisms, including those allowed by the Kyoto Protocol.
25
Fund for the Promotion of Sustainable Infrastructure Projects
At December 31, 2009, the Fund for the Promotion of Sustainable Infrastructure Projects had a balance of $25.5 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance infrastructure projects, and the study thereof, in order to support regional integration.
Fund for Border Integration and Cooperation
At December 31, 2009, the Fund for Border Integration and Cooperation had a balance of $3.7 million. The fund seeks to strengthen cooperation and border integration at the bilateral and multilateral levels by supporting and financing the identification, preparation and execution of high-impact projects that promote sustainable human development in the border regions of CAF’s shareholder countries.
Credit Policies
The Constitutive Agreement limits the total amount of disbursed and outstanding loans, guarantees and equity investments to 4.0 times shareholders’ equity. Our actual ratio on December 31, 2009 was 2.3 times shareholders’ equity. The guidelines of the Basel Committee on Supervisory Practices and Banking Regulations require a capitalization ratio, defined as shareholders’ equity divided by risk-weighted assets plus risk-weighted off-balance sheet items, of not less than 8% for those institutions to which those guidelines are applicable. Our policy requires this capitalization ratio to be at least 30%. Our actual capitalization ratio was 41.7% at December 31, 2009.
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.
The Loans and Investments Committee recommends approvals of loans and investments. The members of this Committee are the Vice Presidents, the General Legal 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 loans of up to $75.0 million for sovereign credits, up to $50.0 million for private credits, up to $25.0 million for equity investments, up to $30.0 million for investments in liquid assets for each issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to $150.0 million, (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to $400.0 million, or (iii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of AAA or certain other international bodies, in which case the investment may be up to $500.0 million), and up to $1.0 million for technical cooperation credits. In excess of these amounts, loans of up to $150.0 million for sovereign credits, up to $80.0 million for private credits, up to $50.0 million for equity investments, up to $50.0 million for investments in liquid assets for each issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to $200.0 million, (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to $450.0 million, or (iii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of AAA or certain other international bodies, in which case the investment may be up to $650.0 million), and up to $2.0 million for technical cooperation credits must be approved by the Executive Committee of our Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself. Loans 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 30% 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
26
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, and loans to any private sector entity are limited in the aggregate to 10% of our shareholders’ equity.
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. The aggregate total of outstanding loans to entities in such countries for purely local activities may not exceed four times the amount of paid-in capital contributed by that country.
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, 2009, there were no loans overdue or in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2008, there were $0.1 million in overdue loans and no loans in non-accrual status. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no overdue interest or other charges in respect of non-accrual status loans excluded from net income.
At December 31, 2009, there were no 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.

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 Japanese commercial banks, from capital markets and from the U.S. and European commercial paper markets.

Our borrowings are primarily U.S. dollar-based: 69.1% of our total borrowings, or 99.9% of borrowings after swaps, were denominated in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2009. The principal amount of non-U.S. dollar borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2009 included 400 million Euro, 50,000.0 million Yen, 200.0 million Swiss Francs, 40.7 million Pounds Sterling, 1.7 million Canadian Dollars, 756,200 million Colombian Pesos, 1,550.0 million Mexican Pesos, 432.8 million Peruvian Nuevos Soles and 450.3 million Venezuelan Bolivares; all of such non-U.S. dollar borrowings are swapped or otherwise hedged.
DEBT RECORD
We have never defaulted on 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.
29
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. As a result, at December 31, 2009, 99.1% 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, 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 December 31, 2009, we were party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $5.4 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, 2009, the weighted average life of our financial assets was 4.6 years and the weighted average life of our financial liabilities was 3.7 years. Based on our asset and liability structure at December 31, 2009, we have a positive cumulative gap over a 10 year horizon. This positive gap denotes asset sensitivity, which means that decreases in the general level of interest rates should have a negative effect on our net financial income and, conversely, increases in the general level of interest rates should have a positive effect on our net financial income.
Our management expects the weighted average life of our financial assets to increase gradually, as we make more longer-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, 2009, approximately 99.8% of our assets and 78.4% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder of our liabilities being denominated principally in Euro, Yen, Swiss Francs and Pounds Sterling, which liabilities were swapped. After swaps, 99.3% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars. Generally, funding that is contracted in currencies other than the U.S. 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 total exposure on trade derivatives will never exceed 3% of liquid investments.
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) | elects the Board of Directors according to the Constitutive Agreement; | |
(3) | appoints external auditors; |
30
(4) | determines compensation for the Board of Directors and the external auditors; and | |
(5) | 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 15 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; |
(3) approving our borrowing limits;
(4) | approving credits granted by us in excess of a specified limit; | |
(5) | establishing or modifying internal regulations; and |
(6) appointing the Executive 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. “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 $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 United States federal income tax purposes as original issue discount notes (“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 United States federal income tax purposes). If applicable, the prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of Discount Notes and any special rules regarding debt securities.
36
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 $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
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 $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.
37
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.
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 $20,000,000 (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 $20,000,000 (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.
Additional Payments by CAF
All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of the debt securities 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 or levied by or on behalf of any of the full member shareholder countries or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency 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 may be necessary in order that the net amounts receivable by the holder of debt securities of any series after the withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable by the holder in the absence of the withholding or deduction, except that no additional amounts will be payable in relation to any payment in respect of any debt security:
(1) | to, or to a third party 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 his |
38
having some connection with any of the full member shareholder countries other than the mere holding of the debt security; or |
(2) | presented for payment more than 30 days after the “Relevant Date” (as defined in the next paragraph), except to the extent that the relevant holder would have been entitled to the additional amounts on presenting the same for payment on the expiry of the period of 30 days. |
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 662/3% 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). 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 we and the fiscal agent may consider 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 therefor 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.
39
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.
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.
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEES
From time to time we may issue under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement guarantees for the benefit of holders of specified securities of third parties. The issuers of the underlying securities may or may not be affiliated with us. A holder of a primary security will also have the benefit of our guarantee related to the primary security.
The terms and conditions of any guarantee will vary with the terms and conditions of the underlying securities. A complete description of the terms and conditions of any guarantee issued pursuant to this prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for the issue of the guarantees.
We may provide guarantees with respect to the certain obligations of an issuer under its securities, including without limitation:
• | payment of any accrued and unpaid distributions which are required to be paid under the terms of the securities; | |
• | payment of the redemption price of the securities, including all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption; | |
• | payment of any accrued and unpaid interest payments, or payment of any premium which are required to be made on the securities; and | |
• | any obligation of the issuer pursuant to a warrant, option or other rights. |
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, guarantees issued under this prospectus will rank equally with all of our other unsecured general debt obligations, and will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
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
40
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 United States federal income tax consequences of owning the debt securities we are offering. It is the opinion of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, our counsel. It applies to you only if you acquire debt securities in the offering at the offering price and you hold your debt securities as capital assets for tax purposes. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:
• | 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 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, or | |
• | a United States holder (as defined below) whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. |
This discussion deals only with debt securities that are due to mature within 30 years from the date on which they are issued. The United States 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 assumes that the debt securities will be issued at par and that all principal and interest payments on the debt securities will be denominated in United States dollars. The United States federal income tax consequences of owning Discount Notes (as defined in “Description of the Debt Securities — General” above) and/or debt securities denominated in a currency other than United States dollars will be discussed in an applicable prospectus supplement.
If a partnership holds the debt securities, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding the debt securities should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in the debt securities.
If you purchase debt securities at a price other than the offering price, the amortizable bond premium or market discount rules may also apply to you. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this possibility.
This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.
Please consult your own tax advisor concerning the consequences of owning these debt securities in your particular circumstances under the Internal Revenue Code and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
41
United States Holders
This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States holder. You are a United States holder if you are a beneficial owner of a debt security and you are:
• | a citizen or resident of the United States, | |
• | a domestic corporation or an entity treated as a domestic corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code, | |
• | an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or | |
• | a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. |
If you are not a United States holder, this subsection does not apply to you and you should refer to “United States Alien Holders” below.
Payments of Interest. You will be taxed on interest on your debt security as ordinary income at the time you receive the interest or when it accrues, depending on your method of accounting for tax purposes.
Interest paid by us on the debt securities is income from sources outside the United States, subject to the rules regarding the foreign tax credit allowable to a United States holder. Under the foreign tax credit rules, interest will, depending on your circumstances, be either “passive” or “general” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit.
Purchase, Sale and Retirement of the Debt Securities. Your tax basis in your debt security generally will be its cost. You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or retirement of your debt securities equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the sale or retirement, excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, and your tax basis in your debt securities. Capital gain of a noncorporate United States holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year.
Medicare Tax. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a United States person 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% tax on the lesser of (1) the United States person’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States person’s modified 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 holder’s net investment income will generally include its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of 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 a United States person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in the debt securities.
United States Alien Holders
This subsection describes the tax consequences to a United States alien holder. You are a United States alien holder if you are a beneficial owner of a debt security and you are, for United States federal income tax purposes:
• | a nonresident alien individual, | |
• | a foreign corporation, or | |
• | an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from a debt security. |
If you are a United States holder, this subsection does not apply to you.
42
Under United States federal income and estate tax law, and subject to the discussion of backup withholding below, if you are a United States alien holder of a debt security, interest on a debt security paid to you is exempt from United States federal income tax, including withholding tax, whether or not you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States, unless:
• | you are an insurance company carrying on a United States insurance business to which the interest is attributable, within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code, or | |
• | you both |
• | have an office or other fixed place of business in the United States to which the interest is attributable and | |
• | derive the interest in the active conduct of a banking, financing or similar business within the United States. |
Purchase, Sale, Retirement and Other Disposition of the Debt Securities. If you are a United States alien holder of a debt security, you generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security unless:
• | the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or | |
• | 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 certain other conditions exist. |
For purposes of the United States federal estate tax, the debt securities will be treated as situated outside the United States and will not be includible in the gross estate of a holder who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States at the time of death.
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
Under recently enacted legislation, individuals that own “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 in taxable years beginning after March 18, 2010 will generally be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” include any financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as any of the following, but only if they are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued by non-United States persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts held for investment that have non-United States issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Holders that are individuals are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this legislation to their ownership of the debt securities.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
If you are a noncorporate United States holder, information reporting requirements, on Internal Revenue Service Form 1099, generally will apply to:
• | payments of principal and interest on a debt security within the United States, including payments made by wire transfer from outside the United States to an account you maintain in the United States, and | |
• | the payment of the proceeds from the sale of a debt security effected at a United States office of a broker. |
Additionally, backup withholding will apply to such payments if you are a noncorporate United States holder that:
• | fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number, | |
• | is notified by the Internal Revenue Service that you have failed to report all interest and dividends required to be shown on your federal income tax returns, or | |
• | in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. |
43
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be refunded or credited against the holder’s United States federal income tax liability, if any, provided that the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner.
If you are a United States alien holder, you are generally exempt from backup withholding and information reporting requirements with respect to:
• | payments of principal and interest made to you outside the United States by us or another non-United States payor and | |
• | other payments of principal and interest and the payment of the proceeds from the sale of a debt security effected at a United States office of a broker, as long as the income associated with such payments is otherwise exempt from United States federal income tax, and: |
• | the payor or broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and you have furnished to the payor or broker: |
• | an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or an acceptable substitute form upon which you certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are a non-United States person, or | |
• | other documentation upon which it may rely to treat the payments as made to a non-United States person in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations, or |
• | you otherwise establish an exemption. |
Payment of the proceeds from the sale of a debt security effected at a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, a sale of a debt security that is effected at a foreign office of a broker will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding if:
• | the proceeds are transferred to an account maintained by you in the United States, | |
• | the payment of proceeds or the confirmation of the sale is mailed to you at a United States address, or | |
• | the sale has some other specified connection with the United States as provided in U.S. Treasury regulations, |
unless the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and the documentation requirements described above are met or you otherwise establish an exemption.
In addition, a sale of a debt security effected at a foreign office of a broker will be subject to information reporting if the broker is:
• | a United States person, | |
• | a controlled foreign corporation for United States tax purposes, | |
• | a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business for a specified three-year period, or | |
• | a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year: |
• | one or more of its partners are “U.S. persons”, as defined in U.S. Treasury regulations, who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interest in the partnership, or | |
• | such foreign partnership is engaged in the conduct of a United States trade or business, |
unless the broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and the documentation requirements described above are met or you otherwise establish an exemption. Backup withholding will apply if the sale is subject to information reporting and the broker has actual knowledge that you are a United States person.
44
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.
Any underwriting compensation we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with CAF, to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market. We may elect to list any series of securities on any exchange, but we are not obligated to do so.
One or more underwriters may make a market in a series of securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor any underwriter can give assurances as to the liquidity of the trading market for the securities.
Certain of the underwriters, agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services for CAF in the ordinary course of business.
VALIDITY OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
In connection with particular offerings of the debt securities in the future, and if stated in the applicable prospectus supplements, the validity of those debt securities will be passed upon for us by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, Washington, D.C., and for any underwriters or agents by counsel named in the applicable prospectus supplement. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and counsel to the underwriters or agents may rely as to certain matters on the opinion of our General Legal Counsel.
VALIDITY OF THE GUARANTEES
The validity of the guarantees will be passed upon for us by counsel to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. The validity of the guarantees will be passed upon for the underwriters by counsel to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Management of Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) (the “Corporation”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in the Corporation. Management has evaluated the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on the criteria for effective internal control determined in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. Based on this assessment, CAF’s Management concluded that CAF’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control system, including the possibility of human error and the deception or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
CAF’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009, have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, which has also issued an attestation report on management’s assertion on the effectiveness of CAF’s internal control over financial reporting. The attestation report, which is included in this document, expresses an unqualified opinion on management’s assertion on the effectiveness of CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSERTION ON
EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF):
We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). CAF’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assertion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.
We conducted our examination in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we plan and perform the examination to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our examination included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our examination also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 United States of America generally accepted accounting principles, 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 evaluation 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.
In our opinion, management’s assertion that Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the balance sheet of Corporación de Fomento (CAF) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and our report dated January 29, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion of those financial statements.

CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
(In thousands of US dollars)
1. | Significant Accounting Policies |
a. Description of Business — Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF” or the “Corporation”) commenced operations on June 8, 1970 established under public international law which abides by the provisions of its by-laws. Series “A” and “B” Shareholder countries are: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Series “C” Shareholder countries are: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay. In addition, there are 14 banks which are Series “B” shareholders. The Corporation has its headquarters in Caracas, Venezuela.
The Corporation’s objective is to support sustainable development and economic integration within Latin America and the Caribbean by helping the shareholder countries make their economies diversified, competitive and more responsive to social needs.
The Corporation offers financial and related services to the governments of, and public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures in, its shareholder countries. Primarily, the Corporation’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 its shareholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds of other countries and organizations, generally non-reimbursable, intended to finance programs agreed with donor organizations which are in line with Corporation policies and strategies.
The Corporation raises funds for operations both within and outside its shareholder countries.
b. Financial Statement Presentation — The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and the functional currency is the U.S. dollar.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts in the 2008 and 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
c. Foreign Currency Transactions — Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the international market at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency balances are translated at year-end exchange rates. Any gains or losses on foreign exchange including related hedge effects are included in the statement of income.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less.
e. Marketable Securities — The Corporation classifies its investments in debt securities in one of two categories: trading or held-to-maturity. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Corporation has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.
Trading securities are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses on trading securities are included in interest income of investments and deposits with banks in the statements of income.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in a reduction in carrying amount. The impairment is charged to
F-11
CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
(In thousands of US dollars)
income and a new cost basis for the security is established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective interest method.
Dividend and interest income are recognized when received and earned, respectively.
f. Loans — The Corporation grants short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities in its shareholder countries. Loans are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, less the allowance for loan losses and loan commissions net of 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 interest method and are presented as loan commissions in the statement of income.
The accrual for interest on loans is discontinued at the time a private sector loan is 90 days (180 days for public sector loans) delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
The nonaccrual loans are considered impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payments status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
CAF has established a series of exposure policies, including country and economic group limits, in order to avoid concentration in its loan portfolio.
g. Equity Investments — CAF participates with equity investments in companies and investment funds in strategic sectors, with a view to promoting the development of such companies and their participation in the securities markets and to serve as a catalytic agent in attracting resources into the Shareholder countries.
Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method or at cost. If the Corporation has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, which is generally presumed to exist at a 20% of equity ownership level, the equity investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying value of the equity investment is adjusted for the Corporation’s proportionate share of earnings or losses, dividends received and certain other transactions of the investee company.
A decline in the market value of any equity investment accounted under the equity method or at cost, that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in a reduction in carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to income and a new cost basis for the investment is established.
h. Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level the Corporation believes is adequate but not excessive to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. The general allowance for loan losses is established by the Corporation based on the individual risk rating for the long-term foreign currency debt of the borrower countries which is assigned by the international risk rating agencies as of the date of the financial statements preparation. This country risk rating considers a default probability. Given the Corporation’s status as a preferred creditor and taking into account the immunities and privileges conferred into it by its shareholder countries, which are established in
F-12
CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007
(In thousands of US dollars)
the Corporation’s by-laws and other similar agreements, a factor reflecting a lower default probability — usually equivalent to a better risk rating — is used.
A specific allowance is established by the Corporation for those loans that are considered impaired. A loan is considered as 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 loan contract. The impairment of loans is determined on a loan by loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.
Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
i. Property and Equipment -net — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged directly to the statements of income for the year as incurred, and improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method and charged to the statements of income over the estimated useful life of assets.
During 2009, based on the expansion plans of operations involving operating assets, CAF’s management conducted an analysis on the useful life assigned to such assets. In connection with this review, it decided a prospective updating of the useful life of certain assets, which caused an immaterial increase in profits for the period.
The assets in conformity with their estimated useful life are as follows:
2009 | 2008 and 2007 | |||
Buildings | 30 years | 15 years | ||
Buildings improvements | 15 years | 5 years | ||
Furniture and equipment | 2 to 10 years | 2 to 5 years | ||
Vehicles | 5 years | 5 years |
j. Intangible assets — Intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortization. The amortization is computed in accordance with the straight-line method over the useful life estimated by CAF. The estimated useful life of these assets is between 2 and 5 years.
k. Bonds and borrowings — Medium and long-term debt issuances, whose objective is to provide the financial resources required to finance CAF’s operations, are recorded in bonds. The borrowings account includes those obligations with local or foreign financial institutions and commercial banks, which are commonly recorded at cost value.
Depending on hedged risk, bonds are recorded at their fair value, as follows:
• | Cross currency hedge transactions are recognized at their fair value as provided by SFAS 159 (codified in ASC 825). | |
• | Bonds denominated in US$ for which hedged risk is solely the interest rate are recognized under short cut method basis, established in SFAS 133 (codified in ASC 815-20-25-102). |
Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of these liabilities are recognized in income as they occur.
Transactions related to partial repurchases of bond issuances result in the derecognition of the related liabilities. The difference between the repurchase price and the debt’s settlement net cost is recognized as income/loss for the period.

(In thousands of US dollars)
l. Employees’ Severance Indemnities — Accrual for severance benefits comprises all the liabilities related to the workers’ vested rights according to CAF’s employee policies and the Labor Law of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
Under the current Labor Law, employees earn a severance indemnity equal to five days of salary per month, up to a total of 60 days per year of service. Labor indemnities are earned once an employee has completed three months of continuous service. From the second year of service, the employees earn an additional two days of 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. Severance benefits are recorded in the accounting records of CAF and interest on the amounts owed to employees is paid.
In the case of unjustified dismissal or involuntary termination, employees have the right to an additional indemnity of one-month salary per year of service up to a maximum of 150 days.
m. Pension Plan — The Corporation established in March 2005 a defined benefit pension plan which is mandatory for all new employees as of the date of implementation of the Plan and voluntary for all other employees. The plan is contributory and the benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average salary for the three consecutive years of service with the highest salary. These contributions are reviewed on a periodic basis by CAF based on actuarial assumptions.
n. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Corporation designates the derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value” hedge), a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow” hedge), or a foreign-currency fair-value or cash-flow hedge (“foreign currency” hedge). The Corporation formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value, cash-flow, or foreign-currency hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Corporation also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Corporation discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a fair-value hedge, along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment of the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in income. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a cash-flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income, until income is affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are highly effective as hedges and that are designated and qualify as foreign-currency hedges are recorded in either income or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the hedge transaction is a fair-value hedge or a cash-flow hedge.
The Corporation discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item; the derivative 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 designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

(In thousands of US dollars)
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair-value hedge, the Corporation continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, and no longer adjusts the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair value. The adjustment of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability is accounted for in the same manner as other components of the carrying amount of that asset or liability. When hedge accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, the Corporation continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, removes any asset or liability that was recorded pursuant to recognition of the firm commitment from the balance sheet and recognizes any gain or loss in income. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Corporation continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in income. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, the Corporation continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in income.
o. Adoption of SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820) -Fair Value Measurements — The Corporation adopted SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820) “Fair Value Measurements” as of January 1, 2008, which defines fair value, expands disclosure requirements around fair value and specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions to determine the best price of these instruments. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. | |
• | Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. | |
• | Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |
This hierarchy requires the Corporation to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.
When available, the Corporation typically uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and classifies such items in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Corporation uses acceptable alternatives to calculate the fair value for these instruments, in which case the items are classified in Level 2. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is based on internally developed valuation techniques. The fair value of items determined under this procedure are classified in Level 3.
p. Adoption of SFAS N° 159 (codified in ASC 825), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — In February, 2007 the FASB issued SFAS N° 159 (codified in ASC 825), and “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement N ° 115 codified in ASC 320)”. ASC 825 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments, warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities reported at fair value as a consequence of the election. ASC 825 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The management of the Corporation decided to apply ASC 825 for cross currency hedge transactions beginning January 1, 2009, which did not have a significant effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. The changes in fair value option are reported in the income statement.

q. Disclosures about derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS N° 161 (codified in ASC 815), “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement N° 133 (codified in ASC 815)”. SFAS N° 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The provisions of SFAS N° 161(codified in ASC 815) are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.
On September 12, 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position N° 133-1 (codified in ASC 815) and FIN 45-4 (codified in ASC 460), Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment and clarification of the effective date of FASB Statement N° 161 (codified in ASC 815). This FSP improved disclosures about credit derivatives by requiring more information about the potential adverse effects of changes in credit risk on the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of the sellers of credit derivatives.
r. Guarantees — CAF provides guarantees for loans issued in support of projects located within a shareholder country that are undertaken by private entities. CAF may offer 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 that private lenders or holders of securities share the risk along with it. CAF’s responsibility is usually limited to payment up to the amount of the guarantee upon default by the client.
s. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — On June 29, 2009, the FASB issued Statement 168 (codified in ASC 105), which approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP. The Codification is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards have been superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The adoption of ASC 105 did not impact CAF’s financial condition or results of operations. All accounting references within this report are in accordance with the new Codification.
On May 22, 2009, the FASB issued Statement 164 (codified in ASC 958). The Statement’s objective is to improve the “relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability” of a not-for-profit entity’s financial reporting “about a combination with one or more other not-for-profit entities, businesses, or nonprofit activities.” ASC 958 (Statement 164) is effective prospectively for mergers that occur at or after the beginning of an initial reporting period that begins on or after December 15, 2009, and for acquisitions that occur at or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. This statement will not affect CAF’s financial results.
On May 28, 2009, the FASB issued Statement 165 (codified in ASC 855), which provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events. The new guidance represents the inclusion of guidance on subsequent events in the accounting literature and is directed specifically to management, since management is responsible for preparing an entity’s financial statements. Management must perform its assessment for both interim and annual financial reporting periods. The new guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. This statement has not affected CAF’s financial results.
On June 12, 2009, the FASB issued Statement 166 (codified in ASC 860), which amends the derecognition guidance in ASC 860. Statement 166 reflects the FASB’s response to issues entities have encountered when applying ASC 860. In addition, Statement 166 addresses concerns expressed by the SEC, members of Congress, and financial statement users about the accounting and disclosures required by ASC 860 in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis and the deterioration in the global credit markets. The FASB believes the amendments will improve the accounting for transfers of financial assets. Statement 166 is effective for financial asset transfers occurring after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins

after November 15, 2009 (thus, calendar-year-end entities must adopt it on January 1, 2010). Early adoption is prohibited. This statement will not affect CAF’s financial results.
On December 4, 2009, the FASB issued a proposed ASU that would indefinitely defer the effective date of Statement 167 for a reporting enterprise’s interest in entities that have all the attributes outlined in ASC 946-10-15-2 or for which it is industry practice to issue financial statements in accordance with ASC 946. The FASB also agreed to change how a decision maker or service provider determines whether its fee is a variable interest under paragraph B22 of Interpretation 46(R), as amended by Statement 167. Comments on the proposed ASU are due by January 6, 2010.
Additionally, the FASB approved amendments related to fair value measurements, disclosures, and other-than-temporary impairments in light of the recent issuance of: FSP FAS 157-4 (ASC 820-10), FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 (ASC 320-10-35), and FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (ASC 825-10-50) and FAS 132 (R)-1.

General Reserve
The general reserve was set-up to cover possible contingencies. The stockholders decided to increase the reserve by US$210,335, US$268,249 and US$200,553 during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, by appropriations from net income for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Reserve Pursuant to Article N° 42 of the By-laws
The Corporation’s by-laws establish that at least 10% of annual net income is to be allocated to a reserve fund until that fund amounts to 50% of the subscribed capital. Additional allocations may be approved by the stockholders. At the stockholders’ meetings in March 2009, 2008 and 2007, it was authorized to increase the reserve by US$31,139, US$40,100 and US$32,100, from net income for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
15. | Distributions to Stockholders’ Funds |
The stockholders may distribute a portion of retained earnings to special funds, created to promote technical cooperation, sustainable human development and management of poverty relief funds in the Shareholder countries.
In March 2009, 2008 and 2007, the stockholders agreed to distribute US$70,000, US$92,450 and US$88,000, from retained earnings at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, to the stockholders’ funds.
16. | Tax Exemptions |
The Corporation is exempt from all taxes on income, properties and other assets. It is also exempt from liability related to the payment, withholding or collection of any tax or other levy.
17. | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
The Corporation seeks to match the maturities of its liabilities to the maturities of its loan portfolio. The Corporation utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The Corporation does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rate and foreign exchange rates, the Corporation exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Corporation, which creates credit risk for the Corporation. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, the Corporation owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. The Corporation minimizes the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.
The market risk associated with interest rate and currency risk is managed by swapping loans and borrowings subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in foreign currency into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. The Corporation enters into derivative instruments with market risk characteristics that are expected to change in a manner that will offset the economic change in value of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings and other obligations. Derivative contracts held by

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 all of the Corporation’s derivatives which have been designated in hedging relationships were considered fair value hedges. The change in the fair value of such derivative instruments and the change in fair value of hedged items attributable to risk being hedged are included in the statement of income.
18. | Fair Value Measurement |
SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820) establishes a single authoritative definition of value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and provides a hierarchical disclosure framework for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. Presented below is information about the determination of the fair value, assets and liabilities recorded in the Corporation’s balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis, and assets and liabilities recorded in the Corporation’s balance sheet at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
Determination of Fair Value
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Corporation to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which
F-29
CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
Notes to the Financial Statements

(In thousands of US dollars)
each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate the description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.
When available, the Corporation generally uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and classifies such items in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Corporation will make use of acceptable practical expedients (such as matrix pricing) to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.
If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
Where available, the Corporation may also make use of quoted prices for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to that being valued. The frequency and size of transactions and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed prices from those markets. If relevant and observable prices are available, those valuations would be classified as Level 2. If prices are not available, other valuation techniques would be used and the item would be classified as Level 3.
• | Marketable securities: The Corporation uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of trading securities and those transactions are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. Marketable securities include investments in government securities, equity and debt securities. | |
• | Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans, which are hedged using derivative transactions, is determined using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. Loans transactions are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
• | Derivative assets and liabilities: Derivative transactions contracted and designated by the Corporation 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 utilizing market prices given by the counterparties. Derivative transactions are classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy. | |
�� | Bonds, borrowings and other obligations: For bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings of the Corporation which are hedged using derivative transactions, the fair value is determined utilizing internal valuation techniques, such as, discounting expected cash flows using the appropriate discount rates for the applicable maturity, reflecting the fluctuation of the hedged variables such as interest and exchange rates. Those transactions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy depending on the observability of significant inputs to the model. |

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Equity investments initially recorded at cost are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and therefore are not included in the tables above. Equity investments with a cost of US$32,948 and US$25,950 as December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were written down to their fair value of US$32,948 and US$24,793, respectively, resulting in an impairment charge of US$1,157 during 2008, which was included in the statement of income. Such equity investments are classified in Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy. The fair value of those equity investments is determined based on financial analysis of the investees.
19. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
In accordance with SFAS N° 107 (codified in ASC 825), the Corporation also estimated the fair value of all financial instruments in the Corporation’s balance sheet, including those financial instruments carried at cost, as presented in the table below. The fair value estimates, methods and assumptions set forth

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments, not accounted for at fair value under SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820):
• | Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, interest and commissions receivable, other investment, deposits, commercial paper, advances and short-term borrowings and accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. | |
• | Loans: The Corporation is one of the few institutions that offer loans for development in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by the Corporation. As rates on variable rate loans and loan commitments 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 using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. | |
• | Equity investments: The fair value of equity investments is determined based on financial statements of the investees or based on a financial analysis of the investees. |
For additional information regarding the Corporation’s determination of fair value, included items accounted for at fair value under SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820), see note 18.

20. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and contingencies include the following:
December 31, | ||||||||
2009 | 2008 | |||||||
Credit agreements subscribed | 3,056,384 | 2,610,482 | ||||||
Lines of credit | 2,535,552 | 2,756,182 | ||||||
Letters of credit | 2,241 | 10,508 | ||||||
Guarantees | 183,211 | 148,859 | ||||||
These commitments and contingencies result from the normal course of the Corporation’s business and are related principally to loans and loan equivalents that have been approved or committed for disbursement.
In the ordinary course of business the Corporation has entered into commitments to extend credits; such financial instruments are recorded as commitments upon signing the corresponding contract and are reported in the financial statements when disbursements are made.
The contracts to extend credit have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without making disbursements. Also based on experience, parts of the disbursements are made up to two years after the signing of the contract. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
In the event the credit lines are not utilized, no additional cost is incurred by the Corporation.
Guarantees mature as follows:
December 31, | ||||||||

Less than one year | 51,000 | — | ||||||
Over five years | 132,211 | 148,859 | ||||||
183,211 | 148,859 | |||||||
Guarantees result from the normal course of the Corporation’s business and usually take the form of partial guarantees to CAF’s clients, as a credit enhancement for their liabilities, as well as guarantees to third parties on behalf of the Corporation’s clients.
21. | Funds Administration |
CAF, as a multilateral financial institution, acts as administrator of several funds funded by third parties and CAF’s own shareholders. These shareholder funds are funded through distributions made each year by the shareholders from CAF’s prior year’s net income. The financial statements of the funds are annually audited by independent auditors.
In connection with the operations carried out by the funds, CAF’s financial responsibility is limited to the fund’s balance, less commitments contracted. Since CAF does not maintain residual interests in these funds, it does not expect the generation of economic benefits for future distribution. These funds are not part of CAF’s accounts.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, CAF managed funds with net assets of US$374.17 million and US$350.06 million, respectively.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Information
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009
(1) | Basis of Presentation |
The condensed interim financial information as of March 31, 2010 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, such interim financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily an indication of the results to be expected for the full year 2010.
This condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009 and the notes thereto presented in the prospectus.
(2) | Allowance for Loan Losses |
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2010, CAF had a credit for loan losses of $7.0 million, compared to a provision for loan losses of $2.3 million for the same period in 2009. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio was 1.2% for the first three months of 2010, compared to 1.3% for the same period in 2009.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level the Corporation believes is adequate but not excessive to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. The general allowance for loan losses is established by the Corporation based on the individual risk rating for the long term foreign currency debt of the borrower countries which is assigned by the international risk rating agencies as of the date of the financial statements preparation. This country risk rating considers a default probability. In the case of a sovereign loan portfolio the Corporation’s preferred creditor status is also considered.
A specific allowance is established by the Corporation for those loans that are considered impaired. A loan is considered as 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 loan contract. The impairment of loans is determined on a loan by loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.
Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
(3) | Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments and contingencies include the following:
March 31, | ||||||||
2010 | 2009 | |||||||
Credit agreements subscribed | 3,233,518 | 2,604,790 | ||||||
Lines of credit for foreign trade | 1,999,170 | 2,294,320 | ||||||
Letters of credit for foreign trade | 1,340 | 5,494 | ||||||
Guarantees | 180,769 | 146,627 | ||||||
These commitments and contingencies result from the normal course of the Corporation’s business and are related principally to loans and loan equivalents that have been approved or committed for disbursement.

CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Information
As of March 31, 2010 and 2009
In the ordinary course of business the Corporation has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded as commitments upon signing the corresponding contract and are reported in the financial statements when disbursements are made.
The contracts to extend credit have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without making disbursements. Also based on experience, parts of the disbursements are made up to two years after the signing of the contract. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
In the event the credit lines are not utilized, no additional cost is incurred by the Corporation.
Guarantees primarily consist of partial credit guarantees given to the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the Republic of Peru for the payment of principal and interest up to the following amounts (in thousands of U.S. dollars):
March 31, | ||||||||
2010 | 2009 | |||||||

2018 | 101.2 | 118.1 | ||||||
2025 | 28.0 | 28.0 | ||||||
179.3 | 146.1 | |||||||
(4) | Fair value measurement |
SFAS N° 157 (codified in ASC 820) establishes a single authoritative definition of value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and provides a hierarchical disclosure framework for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have any impact on the Corporation’s financial position or results of operations. Presented below is information about the determination of the fair value, assets and liabilities recorded in the Corporation’s balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis, and assets and liabilities recorded in the Corporation’s balance sheet at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
