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.

Table of Contents
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 Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay 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, 2011, the full member shareholder countries of CAF collectively accounted for 93.2%1 of the nominal value of our paid-in capital. The other shareholder countries of CAF are Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal, 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, 2011, our associated shareholder countries collectively accounted for 6.7%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, 2011. We refer to our full member shareholder countries and our associated shareholder countries collectively as our shareholder countries. 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.
As an international treaty organization, we are a legal entity under public international law. We have our own legal personality, which permits us to enter into contracts, acquire and dispose of property and take legal action. The Constitutive Agreement has been ratified by the legislature in each of the full member shareholder countries. We have been granted the following immunities and privileges in each full member shareholder country:
(1) | immunity from expropriation, search, requisition, confiscation, seizure, sequestration, attachment, retention or any other form of forceful seizure by reason of executive or administrative action by any of |
1 Argentina and Paraguay became full member shareholder countries during 2011; they were previously associated shareholder countries.
2 Portugal became an associated shareholder country in 2011.

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 Portugal (ratification by Portugal is pending as of the date hereof). 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.
The governments of some of CAF’s shareholder countries have historically taken actions, such as nationalizations and exchange controls, that would be expected to adversely affect ordinary commercial lenders. In light of the immunities and privileges discussed above, we have not been adversely affected by these actions.
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.

General
As of December 31, 2011:
CAF’s 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 the full member shareholder countries, and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting 0.1% of our outstanding shares, which are owned by 14 private sector financial institutions in the full member shareholder countries at December 31, 2011. 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. As owners of Series “B” shares, the full member shareholder countries collectively are entitled to elect five additional Directors and five Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 14 private sector financial institutions collectively are entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director.
Series “C” shares are currently owned by eight associated shareholder countries: Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal, 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 entities or individuals in the full member shareholder countries, except that no more than 49% of the Series “B” shares within any country may be held by private entities or individuals. Series “C” shares may be held by or transferred to public or private entities or individuals outside the full member shareholder countries. Unless a shareholder country withdraws, Series “A” and Series “B” shares may only be transferred within such country.
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, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay and Uruguay have ceased to be Series “C” shareholder countries, have adhered to the Constitutive Agreement and now possess Series “A” shares.
Paid-in Capital and Un-paid Capital
At December 31, 2011, CAF’s subscribed paid-in and un-paid capital was $3.9 billion, of which $3.2 billion was paid-in capital and $669.9 million was un-paid capital, which will be paid in installments according to the agreements subscribed with the shareholder countries. Over the years, we have had several increases of subscribed capital.

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 reserve is an accounting reserve.

Table of Contents
At December 31, 2011, our reserves totaled $2.2 billion. At such date, the mandatory reserve amounted to $398.8 million, or 10.2% of subscribed paid-in and un-paid capital, and the general reserve amounted to $1.8 billion.
Callable Capital
In addition to our subscribed paid-in and un-paid capital, our shareholders have subscribed to callable capital totaling $1.6 billion at December 31, 2011. 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
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements beginning on page F-5 and notes thereto beginning on page F-10 of this prospectus.
Summary of Results
During the three years ended December 31, 2011, our net income decreased at a compound average annual rate of approximately 27.0%. Our net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $152.6 million, representing a decrease of $13.6 million, or 8.2%, over net income of $166.1 million for 2010. This decrease resulted principally from the decline in market interest rates. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our net income was $166.1 million, representing a decrease of $68.6 million, or 29.2%, over net income of $234.7 million for 2009. This decrease also resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates.
The reported annualized percentage increase (decrease) in real GDP for 2011 for each of the full member shareholder countries at September 30, 2011 was as follows: Argentina, 9.5 %; Bolivia, 5.0%; Brazil, 3.0%; Colombia, 5.8%; Ecuador, 8.1%; Panama, 10.4%; Paraguay, 4.0%; Peru, 6.7%; Uruguay, 6.3%; and Venezuela, (4.0%).
The recent financial crisis and global economic recession affected our business but 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. Moreover, certain recent developments, such as the European sovereign debt crisis and fluctuations in commodity prices, have not thus far impacted our operations. We have no outstanding loans to European Union countries in our loan portfolio, and our exposure to European Union countries in our liquidity portfolio is principally in the form of securities and is not material in amount. Our liquidity portfolio is not materially exposed to countries involved in the European sovereign debt crisis.
The volatility of credit spreads during the past three years has varied our borrowing costs, the effect of which was partially offset by changing the interest rates we charge our borrowers (after swaps). During 2011, the LIBOR rate, which is the basis for the interest payable on both our external debt and on the loans in our loan portfolio, remained low, which resulted in a lower net interest margin for our business.
Both 2011 and 2010 have been characterized by a strong growth in our loan portfolio 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. These two main drivers led to a loan portfolio growth of 8.7% in 2011 compared to 2010. We do not expect that our loan portfolio will be materially affected by the activities of other development banks in the region, since financing needs by our shareholder countries exceed the current supply of lending resources; we believe that activities of other development banks are complementary to our lending operations.
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, 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 some financial assets and liabilities recorded in CAF’s financial statements are determined according to the procedures established by the accounting pronouncement ASC 820. As of the
12
Table of Contents
date of this prospectus, we have not changed or reclassified any transaction from one level to another pursuant to the hierarchy reflected in ASC 820, thereby maintaining consistency in the application of accounting principles in this matter.
Income Statement
Interest Income
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our interest income was $429.0 million, representing an increase of $43.5 million, or 11.3%, compared to interest income of $385.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase resulted from the loan portfolio growth. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 represented a decrease of $98.3 million, or 20.3%, compared to interest income of $483.9 million for the year ended December 31, 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.
Interest Expense
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our interest expense was $213.0 million, representing an increase of $39.8 million, or 23.0%, from our interest expense of $173.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in liabilities to fulfill higher funding requirements caused by the increase in loan portfolio. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 represented a decrease of $15.5 million, or 8.2%, from our interest expense of $188.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates that more than compensated for an increase in outstanding debt.
Net Interest Income
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net interest income was $216.0 million, representing an increase of $3.7 million, or 1.7%, over net interest income of $212.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase resulted principally from loan portfolio growth. Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2010 represented a decrease of $82.8 million, or 28.1%, as compared to our net interest income of $295.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. This decrease resulted principally from a decline in market interest rates, as well as an increase in liabilities to fulfill higher funding requirements caused by the increase in loan portfolio.
Our net interest income margin was 1.1% in 2011, compared to 1.3% in 2010 and 2.1% in 2009. These decreases in net interest income margin in 2011 and 2010 resulted principally from a decrease in market interest rates given our high capitalization ratio.
Provision for Loan Losses
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a credit for loan losses of $11.8 million, representing an increase of $8.8 million, or 293.0%, compared with our credit for loan losses of $3.0 million for the corresponding period in 2010 and $1.7��million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Changes in the provision occurred because of an improvement in the credit quality of our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of the loan portfolio was 0.9% for 2011, 1.0% for 2010 and 1.2% for 2009. 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 ASC 310-10-35.

Table of Contents
Non-Interest Income
Our non-interest income consists principally of commissions, dividends and equity in earnings of investments and other income.
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our total non-interest income was $4.6 million, representing a decrease of $3.3 million, or 42.0%, from total non-interest income of $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented a decrease of $6.1 million, or 43.6%, compared to total non-interest income of $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in total non-interest income in 2011 over 2010 resulted principally from a decrease in dividends equity investments, and the decrease in 2010 as compared to 2009 resulted principally from a decrease in dividends and equity in earnings of investees.
Non-Interest Expenses
Our non-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses, representing 95.8% of total non-interest expenses in 2011.
2011, 2010 and 2009. For the year ended December 31, 2011, our total non-interest expenses were $84.6 million, representing an increase of $13.8 million, or 19.4%, over total non-interest expenses of $70.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, representing an increase of $8.1 million, or 12.9%, over total non-interest expenses of $62.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in 2011 and 2010 resulted principally from an increase in administrative expenses given the expansion of our full member shareholder country base. 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 located in our current offices in Panama and Uruguay.
For the year ended December 31, 2011, administrative expenses were $81.0 million, or 0.4% of our total average assets, representing an increase of $11.3 million over administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, administrative expenses were $69.8 million, or 0.4% of our total average assets, representing an increase of $7.2 million over administrative expenses of $62.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. These increases resulted principally from the impact of local currency expenses and inflation in Venezuela. Nevertheless, from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2011, our administrative expenses have remained steady as a percentage of our total average assets.
Equity investments, which do not have readily determinable fair values and 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: $0.0 in 2011, $0.0 in 2010 and $0.0 in 2009. These impairment charges represented 0.0%, 0.0% and 0.0% of our equity investments at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Balance Sheet
Total Assets and Liabilities
2011 and 2010. At December 31, 2011, our total assets were $21.5 billion, representing an increase of $3.0 billion, or 16.1%, over total assets of $18.6 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in our total assets principally reflected an increase in liquid assets, as well as in the loan portfolio. At December 31, 2011, our total liabilities were $15.2 billion, representing an increase of $2.4 billion, or 18.8%, over total liabilities of $12.8 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in our total liabilities resulted from higher funding requirements.

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 21 (“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 rated A-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. The remaining portion may be invested in non-investment grade instruments rated B-/Ba3/B or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. Our investment policy emphasizes security and liquidity over yield.
2011 and 2010. At December 31, 2011, our liquid assets consisted of $5.7 billion of cash, time deposits and securities, of which 96.4% were invested in investment grade instruments rated A-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization; 29.0% of our liquid assets were invested in time deposits in financial institutions, 25.5% in commercial paper, 11.0% in corporate and financial institution bonds, 7.6% in certificates of deposit, 17.6% in bonds of non-U.S. government and government entities and 9.3% in
15
Table of Contents
other instruments. At December 31, 2010, our liquid assets consisted of $4.1 billion of cash, time deposits and securities, of which 97.4% were invested in investment grade instruments rated A-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization; 37.6% of our liquid assets were invested in time deposits in financial institutions, 21.4% in commercial paper, 16.1% in corporate and financial institution bonds, 8.3% in certificates of deposit, 6.3% in bonds of non-U.S. government and government entities and 10.4% in other instruments.
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.
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; |
16
Table of Contents
• | 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 CAF’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.
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
17
Table of Contents
countries. Through trade-financing, we finance the movement of merchandise. We also provide credit support to trade activities through the confirmation of letters of credit in situations where the issuing local bank would not be perceived as sufficiently creditworthy by financial institutions in the beneficiary’s country.
In 1997, we began making a portion of our loans through an “A/B” loan program, where CAF acts as lender of record for the entire loan and sells non-recourse participations in the “B” portion of the loan to commercial banks. 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; CAF does not provide funding under the “B” portion and, therefore, does not assume any credit risk. Because we act as the lender of record for the entire loan, thereby operating as the one official lender in the transaction, 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 0.85% of the total loan amount and a commitment fee equal to 0.35% per annum on undisbursed loan balances. Substantially all loans are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Our policies generally require that loans to public sector entities have the benefit of sovereign guarantees. Exceptions have been made for a few highly-capitalized entities. Loans to private sector entities other than banks generally must have the benefit of bank or other guarantees, or other collateral acceptable to us.
During the two-year period ended December 31, 2011, our total assets grew at a compound average annual rate of 16.4%, in part reflecting the economic growth in most of the full member shareholder countries. At December 31, 2011, our total assets were $21.5 billion, of which $15.0 billion, or 69.6%, were disbursed and outstanding loans. At December 31, 2011, the “B” loan portion of our “A/B” loan transactions totaled $1.4 billion. 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 two-year period, our lending portfolio grew at a compound average annual rate of 13.2%. Our management expects further loan growth to be funded by additional borrowings and deposits, retained earnings and planned capital increases.
Loans to Public and Private Sector Borrowers
Our total loan portfolio outstanding, classified by public sector and private sector borrowers, was as follows:

(2) | Loans outside the full member shareholder countries at December 31, 2011. |
During the three years ended December 31, 2011, the growth rate of loans by country was as follows: Argentina, 28.6%; Bolivia, 10.7%; Brazil, (2.2)%; Colombia, 3.7%; Ecuador, 10.6%; Panama, 59.7%; Paraguay, 90.5%; Peru, 17.5%; Uruguay, (22.2)%; and Venezuela, 22.6%. The growth of the loan portfolio during the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 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 $331.3 million in 2011, compared to loans to associated shareholder countries holding Series “C” shares totaling $1,752.7 million and $1,411.0 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. To date, our loans in associated shareholder countries have primarily been to Brazilian and Argentinean borrowers; Brazil and Argentina became full member shareholders countries on January 7, 2010 and February 25, 2011, respectively. Management expects loans to the new full member shareholder countries (Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay 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 rated A-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. The remaining portion may be invested in unrated or non-investment grade instruments rated B-/Ba3/B- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. At December 31, 2011, our liquid assets amounted to $5.7 billion of which 29.0% were invested in time deposits in financial institutions, 25.5% in commercial paper, 11.0% in corporate and financial institution bonds, 7.6% in certificates of deposit, 17.6% in bonds of non-U.S. government and government entities and 9.3% in other instruments.
Equity Shareholdings
We may acquire equity shareholdings in new or existing companies within the shareholder countries, either directly or through investment funds focused on Latin America. Our equity participation in any one company is limited to 1% of our shareholders’ equity. Our policies do not permit us to be a company’s largest individual shareholder. In addition, the aggregate amount of our equity investments cannot exceed 10% of our shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2011, the carrying value of our equity investments totaled $111.9 million, representing 1.8% of our shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2011, 68.9% 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 stockholders equity. The amount of credit guarantees outstanding was $251.9 million at December 31, 2011. Those credit guarantees represent 3.97% of our total stockholders equity and were issued for 2 public sector projects in Bolivia, a public sector projects in Peru and Mexico, as well as several private sector companies that are operating in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Uruguay.
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
We act as fund administrator for several funds funded by third parties and by our shareholders, the net assets of which totaled $466.2 million at December 31, 2011.
23
Table of Contents
Each year, these funds are usually recapitalized by our shareholders through contributions made from CAF’s prior year’s net income. In 2011, 2010 and 2009, such contributions to these funds were $93.5 million, $105.0 million and $70.0 million from the net income of 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These funds are not part of CAF’s accounts.
At December 31, 2011, 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, the 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

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, 2011, the Fund for Human Development had net assets 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.

Latin American Carbon Program
At December 31, 2011, the Latin American Carbon Program had net assets of $8.3 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.
Fund for the Promotion of Sustainable Infrastructure Projects
At December 31, 2011, the Fund for the Promotion of Sustainable Infrastructure Projects had net assets of $27.3 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance infrastructure projects and the study thereof, in order to support regional integration.

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, 2011 was 2.4 times shareholders’ equity.
We apply commercial banking standards for credit approvals and maintain policies and procedures regarding risk assessment and credit policy. Relationship managers perform an initial screening of each potential client and transaction to ensure that the proposed extension of credit falls within our policies. Proposed project loans are evaluated in accordance with our Operational Policies, which set out detailed eligibility and evaluation guidelines. Loans to a private sector borrower are approved taking into consideration both the individual loan and the total exposure to the borrower.
The Loans and Investments Committee recommends approvals of loans and investments. The members of this Committee are the Vice Presidents, the General Counsel and the Head of Credit Administration. The committee is chaired by the Executive Vice President. The Secretary of the Committee is an officer from the Credit Administration Office. The Executive President, upon the recommendation of the Loans and Investments Committee, may approve (a) loans of up to $75.0 million for sovereign credits, (b) loans of up to $50.0 million for private credits, (c) investments up to $25.0 million in the case of equity investments or up to 1% of total liquid assets of any issuer in the case of debt securities (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 5% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 7% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (iii) the US Treasury or the Bank for International Settlements, in which case CAF’s investment in notes, bills or bonds may be up to 50% of total liquid assets for each issuer), and (d) technical cooperation credits up to $1.0 million. The Executive Committee of our Board of Directors or the Board of Directors itself may approve (a) loans of up to $150.0 million for sovereign credits, (b) loans of up to $80.0 million for private credits, (c) investments up to $50.0 million for equity investments or up to 2.5% of the total liquid assets for any issuer in the case of debt securities (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 10% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 12% of the issuer’s total liquid assets), and (d) technical cooperation credits up to $2.0 million. Loans and investments in excess of the aforementioned Executive Committee’s limits require the approval of our Board of Directors.
Our policies also impose limitations on loan concentration by country and by type of risk. Loans to entities in any one full member shareholder country may not exceed either 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 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
25
Table of Contents
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, 2011, there were $0.0 loans overdue and $8.2 million in non-accrual status. At December 31, 2010, there were $0.0 in overdue loans and $0.0 loans in non-accrual status. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were $0.0 and $0.0, respectively, overdue interest or other charges in respect of non-accrual status loans excluded from net income.
At December 31, 2011, there were $0.0 loan write-offs. We have not suffered any individually significant losses on our loan portfolio. Although our loans do not enjoy any legal preference over those of other creditors, we do enjoy a de facto preferred creditor status arising from our status as a multilateral financial institution and from the interest of our borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with us. Although some of our shareholder countries have restructured their sovereign debt obligations, none of them have ever defaulted on their debt obligations to CAF.

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
26

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.

Our borrowings are primarily U.S. dollar-based: 79.3% of our total borrowings, or 98.8% of borrowings after swaps, were denominated in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2011. The principal amount of non-U.S. dollar borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2011 included 750.0 million Euros, 49,400.0 million Yen, 705.0 million Swiss Francs, 483,980.0 million Colombian Pesos, 2,067.1 million Mexican Pesos, 372.0 million Peruvian Nuevos Soles and 235.0 million Venezuelan Bolivares; all of such non-U.S. dollar borrowings are swapped or otherwise hedged into U.S. Dollars.
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.

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, 2011, 99.4% 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, 2011, we were party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $7.8 billion.
We seek, to the extent possible under prevailing market conditions, to match the maturities of our liabilities to the maturities of our loan portfolio. At December 31, 2011, the weighted average life of our financial assets was 4.7 years and the weighted average life of our financial liabilities was 3.3 years. Based on our asset and liability structure at December 31, 2011, 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 long-term loans for infrastructure development and similar purposes. At the same time, our management expects that the weighted average life of our liabilities will also increase as a result of our strategy of increasing our presence in the international long-term bond market as market conditions permit.
At December 31, 2011, approximately 99.7% of our assets and 80.6% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder of our liabilities being denominated principally in Euro, Yen and Swiss Francs, which liabilities were swapped. After swaps, 98.8% 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 policy is that our total exposure on trade derivatives should not exceed 3% of liquid investments. See “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” in Note 17 of the Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
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; |
29
Table of Contents
(3) | appoints external auditors; |
(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.
On March 6, 2012, the shareholders’ general meeting approved the re-appointment of Lara Marambio & Asociados, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, as our external auditor for a three-year term, subject to annual re-appointment.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is composed of 18 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.
35
Table of Contents
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.
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).
36
Table of Contents
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.
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; |
37
Table of Contents
(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 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 |
38
Table of Contents
(4) | reduce the proportion of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series that must be held by any of the holders to vote to amend or supplement the terms of the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities; or |
(5) | change our obligation to pay additional amounts. |
We may, however, with the written consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series, modify any of the other terms or provisions of the debt securities of that series or the fiscal agency agreement (as it applies to that series). 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.
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.
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.
39
Table of Contents
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.
Full Member Shareholder Country Taxation
Under the terms of the Constitutive Agreement, we are exempt from all types of taxes levied by each of the full member shareholder countries on our income, property and other assets, and on operations we carry out in accordance with that treaty, and we are exempt from all liability related to the payment, retention or collection of any taxes, contributions or tariffs.
Payments of principal and interest in respect of the debt securities to a non-resident of the full member shareholder countries will therefore not be subject to taxation in any of the full member shareholder countries, nor will any withholding for tax of any of the full member shareholder countries be required on any such payments to any holder of debt securities. In the event of the imposition of withholding taxes by any of the full member shareholder countries, we have undertaken to pay additional amounts in respect of any payments subject to such withholding, subject to certain exceptions, as described under “Description of the Debt Securities — Additional Payments by CAF”.
United States Taxation
This section describes the material 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, |
40
Table of Contents
• | a person that owns debt securities as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes, |
• | a person that purchases or sells debt securities as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, 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. This discussion also assumes that the principal and interest payments on the debt securities are not subject to contingencies. The United States federal income tax consequences of owning Discount Notes (as defined in “Description of the Debt Securities — General” above), debt securities denominated in a currency other than United States dollars and/or debt securities subject to contingencies 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.
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.
41
Table of Contents
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 holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the United States holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals 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 holder 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.
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. |

Table of Contents
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
Owners of “specified foreign financial assets” with an aggregate value in excess of $50,000 (and in some circumstances, a higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. “Specified foreign financial assets” 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 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 may 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. |
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. |
43
Table of Contents
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.

Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
The Management of Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting in CAF. Management has evaluated CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 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 in charged of 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, 2011. Based on this assessment, CAF’s Management concluded that CAF’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011.
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, 2011, have been audited by an independent 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, 2011.

Independent Accountants’ Report on Management’s Assertion on
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, 2011, 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 CAF maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 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 sheets of CAF as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009 then ended, and our report dated January 27, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion of those financial statements.

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

These financial statements are the responsibility of CAF’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009 then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have examined, in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the management’s assertion that CAF maintained effective internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated January 27, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Description of Business — Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”) 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: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Series “C” Shareholder countries are: Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and Trinidad and Tobago. In addition, there are 14 banks which are Series “B” shareholders. CAF is headquartered in Caracas, Venezuela.
CAF’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.
CAF offers financial and related services to the governments of, and public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures in, its shareholder countries. Primarily, CAF’s principal activity is to provide short, medium- and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities in shareholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds of other countries and organizations, generally non-reimbursable, destined to finance programs agreed with donor organizations which are in line with CAF policies and strategies.
CAF 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.
c. Use of estimates — 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. The most important estimates related with the preparation of the CAF’s financial statements refer to revenue recognition, valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments, and allowance for loan losses, among others. Management believes these estimates are adequate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Transactions in other currencies — Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the international markets at the dates of the transactions. Currency balances other than U.S. dollars are translated at year-end exchange rates. Any foreign exchange gains or losses, including related hedge effects, are included in the statement of income.
e. 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.
f. Marketable Securities — CAF classifies its investments, according with management intention, 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 short term. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which CAF 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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
Dividend and interest income are recognized when received and earned, respectively.
g. Loans — CAF grants short-, medium- and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities both to public and private entities for development and integration programs and projects in stockholder countries.
CAF classifies its portfolio for credit risk purposes into sovereign and non-sovereign.
Sovereign loans include those loans granted to national, regional or local governments or decentralized institutions and other loans fully guaranteed by national governments.
Non-sovereign loans include those credits granted to corporate and financial sectors, among others, which are not guaranteed by national governments.
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 a 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 non-accrual loans are considered impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payments status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
CAF maintains risk exposure policies to avoid concentrating its loan portfolio in one country or specific economic groups, which might be affected by market situations or other circumstances. Due to that, CAF uses certain measurement parameters, such as: CAF’s net stockholders’ equity, total loan portfolio, economic groups from public and private sectors, among others.
h. Allowance for Loan Losses — Allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level CAF believes adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the date of the financial statements. Allowance for loan losses is established by CAF based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating of the borrower countries considering the weighted average rating of three recognized international risk rating agencies as of the date of the financial statements preparation. The country risk rating considers a default probability. Given CAF’s status as a preferred creditor and taking into account the immunities and privileges conferred by its shareholder countries, which are established in CAF’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 CAF for impaired loans. 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 original loan’s effective interest rate.

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
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. 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 to shareholder countries.
Equity investments are accounted for using the equity method or at cost. If CAF 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% – 50% 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 CAF’s proportionate share of earnings or losses, dividends received and certain other transactions of the investee company. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values.
A decline in the value of any equity investment accounted at cost that is deemed to be other than temporary, results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. These investments are evaluated and any impairment is charged to income and a new cost basis for the investment is established.
j. 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.
The assets in conformity with their estimated useful life are as follows:
Buildings | 30 years | |
Buildings improvements | 15 years | |
Furniture and equipment | 2 to 10 years | |
Vehicles | 5 years |
k. Other Assets — Other assets include intangible assets, which 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.
l. Deposits, Commercial Papers and Borrowings — Deposits, commercial papers and borrowings are recorded at amortized cost. The borrowings account includes those obligations with local or foreign financial institutions and commercial banks.
m. Bonds — Medium and long-term debt issuances, whose objective is to provide the financial resources required to finance CAF’s operations, are recorded in bonds. Bonds are recorded as follows:
• | Bonds denominated in other currencies are recognized at fair value, as provided by ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option”. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these bonds and the up-front costs and fees related with these bonds are recognized in the statement of income as they occur. CAF enters into cross- currency interest rate swaps as an economic hedge of the interest rate and foreign exchange risks related to these bonds. |
• | Bonds denominated in US$ are hedged for interest rate risk using interest rate swaps, and are put into fair value hedge accounting relationships assuming no hedge ineffectiveness (the “short cut method”), as established in ASC 815-20-25-102. The up-front costs and fees related to these bonds are deferred and amortized during their life time. |

(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
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 year.
n. 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-day salary for each year of service (or fraction of a year greater than six months), cumulative up to a maximum of 30 days of salary. Severance benefits are recorded in the accounting records of CAF and interest on the amounts owed to employees are 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.
o. Pension Plan — CAF 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.
p. 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, for which hedge accounting would be applied, CAF 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 of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”). CAF 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 the derivatives that are designated as fair-value or cash-flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. CAF 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.
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 as 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 as other comprehensive income, until income is affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item.
CAF 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.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
(In thousands of U.S. Dollars)
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective fair-value hedge, CAF 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, CAF 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, CAF 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, CAF continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in income.
q. Guarantees — CAF provides guarantees for loans issued in support of projects located within a shareholder country that are undertaken by public and 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 limited to payment up to the amount of the guarantee upon default by the client. The guarantee fee income received is deferred and recognized over the life of the transaction.
r. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Applicable —
• | ASU 2011-01 Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 |
On January 20, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, which temporarily defers the effective date in ASU 2010-20 for public-entity creditors’ disclosures about troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) until the Board finalizes its project on determining what constitutes a TDR for a creditor. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, that guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. This statement will be considered for future periods, if applicable.
• | ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements |
On April 29, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03 which eliminates from U.S. GAAP the requirement for entities to consider whether a transferor (i.e., seller) has the ability to repurchase the financial assets in a repurchase agreement (“repo”) even in the event of default by the transferee. The elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repo arrangement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. The guidance in the ASU is effective prospectively for transactions, or modifications of existing transactions, that occur on or after the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. This statement has not affected CAF’s financial results.
• | ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs |
The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The amendments in this Update apply to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, a liability, or an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s

shareholders’ equity in the financial statements. Some of the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update are not required for nonpublic entities. Those disclosures include the following:
1. | Information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
2. | Information about the sensitivity of a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. |
3. | The categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet, but for which the fair value of such items is required to be disclosed. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively. |
For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted. Nonpublic entities may apply the amendments in this Update early, but no earlier than for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This statement will be considered for future periods.
• | ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Supplementary Comprehensive Income |
The FASB issued ASU 2011-05, which revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income.
For public entities, the amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments do not require transition disclosure.
On December 23, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which indefinitely defers the provision in ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. Among other provisions, ASU 2011-05 required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which OCI is presented (for both interim and annual financial statements). Accordingly, ASU 2011-12 defers only this aspect of ASU 2011-05. During the deferral period, entities will still need to comply with the existing requirements in U.S. GAAP for the presentation of reclassification adjustments. This statement has not affected CAF’s financial results.
• | 2011-11 Balance Sheet (Topic 210) Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities |
The FASB issued ASU 2011-11, which creates new disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s rights of set-off and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The amendments in this update will enhance disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or

potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of set-off associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments in the scope of this Update. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods therein, with retrospective application required. The new disclosures are designed to make financial statements that are prepared under U.S. GAAP more comparable to those prepared under IFRSs.

The employees make monthly contributions to the Plan equal to 7% of their salary. All contributions are made in cash. Voluntary participants must contribute to the Plan certain withheld benefits. At December 31, 2011 the Plan has 300 participants.
The measurement date used to determine pension plan benefits is December 31.

General Reserve
CAF maintains a general reserve approved by the stockholders’ Assembly, which is considered an equity reserve. Stockholders decided to increase the reserve by US$ 55,989, US$ 106,238 and US$ 210,335 during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, by appropriations from net income for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Reserve Pursuant to Article N° 42 of the By-laws
CAF’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’ Assembly in March 2011, 2010 and 2009, it was authorized to increase the reserve by US$ 16,650, US$ 23,471 and US$ 31,139 from net income for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Capitalization of additional paid- in capital
At the stockholders’ Assembly in March 2011, 2010 and 2009, it was authorized to capitalize through dividends in shares by US$ 216,380, US$ 177,460 and US$ 100,080, from additional paid-in capital, respectively.

15. DISTRIBUTIONS TO STOCKHOLDERS’ FUNDS
Stockholders may distribute a portion of retained earnings to special funds, created to promote technical and financial cooperation, sustainable human development, and management of poverty relief funds in shareholder countries.
In March 2011, 2010 and 2009, stockholders agreed to distribute US$ 93,500, US$ 105,000 and US$ 70,000, from retained earnings at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, to the stockholders’ funds.
16. TAX EXEMPTIONS
CAF 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
CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rate and foreign exchange rates, CAF 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 CAF, which creates credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not possess credit risk. CAF 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 other currency into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF 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 CAF consist of interest rate and cross-currency swaps and are designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings and other obligations with fixed interest rates or non U.S. currency exposure.
CAF monitors the credit risk associated with derivative transactions. Credit risk is managed by establishing exposure limits based on the credit rating and size of the individual counterparty, among other factors. To further reduce the credit risk in derivatives, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap transactions are regularly marked-to-market and the party being the net obligor is requested to post collateral when net mark to-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds, which decrease as counterparty’s credit rating deteriorates. This collateral is in the form of cash or highly rated and liquid government securities. CAF offsets the fair value amount recognized for derivative instruments and the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty, in accordance with ASC 815-10-45-5.
The amount recognized for the right to receive collateral or the obligation to post collateral that have been offset (i) at year-end 2011, was US$ 202,585 received and (ii) at year-end 2010 were US$ 17,530 and US$ 29,401, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 all of CAFs’ derivatives which had been designated as hedging relationship 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 MEASUREMENTS
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, 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 the market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect CAF’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. |

Determination of Fair Value
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each 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, CAF 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, CAF makes 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, CAF 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.
The following methods are used to estimate the fair-value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:
- | Marketable securities: CAF 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. |
- | 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 CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases. the fair value is calculated utilizing market prices given by the counterparties. Derivative transactions are classified in Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy |
- | Bonds and borrowings: For bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings of CAF the fair value are 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 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. |

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments, not accounted for at fair value under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures:
- | Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, interest and commissions receivable, other investment, deposits and accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
- | Loans: CAF 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 CAF. 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 recorded at cost is determined based on a financial analysis of the investees. |
For additional information regarding CAF’s determination of fair value, included items accounted for at fair value under ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and disclosures, see note 18.
20. FAIR VALUE OPTION
ASC 825-10-25 “Fair value option” permits to choose to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Once the fair value option has been chosen for an instrument, this choice cannot be reversed. Fair value changes on these financial assets and financial liabilities must be recorded in the statement of income.

CAF’s management decided to measure at fair value those financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US dollars for which it has contracted a derivative as an economic hedge for other currency and interest rate risks.
The results recorded in the statement of income resulting from the periodic cash flows and unrealized changes in fair value for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 for instruments that fair value option was chosen, and for derivatives used as economic hedges for these instruments, are as follows:

Guarantees | 251,895 | 225,973 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
These commitments and contingencies result from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.
In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend 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.
Guarantees mature as follows:

To the best knowledge of CAF’s management, CAF is not engaged in any litigation that is material to CAF’s business or that is likely to have any impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
22. THIRD-PARTY ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
CAF, as a multilateral financial institution, acts as administrator of several third party and CAF’s own shareholder funds. These shareholder funds are financed through distributions made each year by the shareholders’ meeting from CAF’s prior year’s net income.
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, 2011 and 2010, managed funds net assets are US$ 466,173 and US$ 426,461, respectively. The balances of main managed funds are as follows:
December 31, | ||||||||

Management has determined that CAF has only one reportable segment since it does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of individual operations. CAF does not differentiate between the nature of the products or services provided, the preparation process, or the method for providing the services among individual countries. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, loans made to or guaranteed by six countries individually generated in excess of 10 percent of loan income, before swaps, as follows:
