In connection with the issue of the notes, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., as the Stabilizing Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilizing Manager(s)) may over-allot notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the notes.

Recent Developments Regarding Venezuela
On January 10, 2019, President Nicolas Maduro was sworn in for his second term as President of Venezuela. The National Assembly of Venezuela stated that the results of the May 2018 election were invalid and declared Juan Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela, a declaration that the Supreme Tribunal of Justice in Venezuela declared unconstitutional. On January 23, 2019, the U.S. government recognized Mr. Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela. On January 25, 2019, President Trump signed an Executive Order amending prior economic sanctions targeting the Maduro government, and on January 28, 2019, Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PdVSA) and certain of its affiliates, were designated as SDNs under Executive Order 13850. U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo has also certified the authority of Mr. Guaidó to receive and control certain property in accounts of the Government of Venezuela or Central Bank of Venezuela held by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any other U.S. insured banks, in accordance with Section 25B of the U.S. Federal Reserve Act. Since January 23, 2019 a number of other countries, including some countries that are CAF shareholders and a number of countries in the European Union, have recognized Mr. Guaidó as Acting President of Venezuela. CAF is evaluating the potential impact of these developments on its business and operations. CAF does not have direct lending relationships with PdVSA or its subsidiaries. The new sanctions, however, may adversely affect the ability of the Maduro government to receive payment for PdVSA’s production and sale of oil and related products and may therefore adversely affect macroeconomic conditions in Venezuela. As a result, Venezuela may find it more difficult to service its outstanding debt, including its outstanding loans from CAF.
On December 27, 2018, CAF entered into a USD 500 million loan agreement with the Central Bank of Venezuela. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, no disbursements have been made under the loan agreement.

General
As of September 30, 2018, CAF’s total authorized capital is $15 billion, of which $10 billion is ordinary capital shares and $5 billion is callable capital shares.
In November 2015, the Board of Directors approved a new generalpaid-in capital increase for a total amount of $4.5 billion, of which $4.0 billion is available for Series “A” and “B” stockholders and $500 million is available in respect of such capital contributions for Series “C” stockholders. Throughout 2016 and 2017, CAF’s management signed subscription agreements with various stockholders. The capital contributions related to this increase began in 2017 and are expected to be paid during the period ending in 2025.
CAF’s shares are divided into Series “A” shares, Series “B” shares and Series “C” shares.
Series “A” shares may be owned only by the full member shareholder countries (as defined below). Each full member shareholder country owns one Series “A” share, which is held by the government, either directly or through a government-designated social or public purpose institution. Each of the full member shareholder countries owning a Series “A” share is entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director to CAF’s Board of Directors.
Series “B” shares are currently owned by the full member shareholder countries, and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting approximately 91.4% of CAF’s outstanding shares, which are owned by 13 private sector financial institutions in the full member shareholder countries. CAF offered and sold Series “B” shares to private sector financial institutions in 1989 to obtain the benefit of their views in the deliberations of CAF’s Board of Directors. As owners of Series “B” shares, the full member shareholder countries collectively are entitled to elect five additional Directors and five additional Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 13 private sector financial institutions collectively are entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director.
Series “C” shares are currently owned by eight associated shareholder countries: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. CAF makes available Series “C” shares for subscription by countries that are not full member shareholder countries to strengthen relationships between these countries and the full member shareholder countries. Ownership of Series “C” shares by these countries makes entities in these countries that deal with entities in full member shareholder countries eligible to receive loans from CAF with respect to such 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.
The Constitutive Agreement (i) allows, under certain circumstances, Latin American and Caribbean countries, including those that are currently associated shareholder countries, to own Series “A” shares and become full member shareholder countries, and (ii) 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 Shareholders’ Meeting approved the terms and conditions precedent by which Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and
S-8
Table of Contents
Tobago and Uruguay could become contracting parties to the Constitutive Agreement, could become full member shareholder countries and could come to own Series “A” shares. In general, in order to become a full member country of CAF, a country must (i) subscribe, directly or indirectly, for one Series “A” share, (ii) exchange all of its ordinary and callable Series “C” capital shares for Series “B” share equivalents, (iii) meet any conditions for its accession as determined by the Shareholders’ General Meeting, and (iv) deposit its instrument of adhesion with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The country is deemed to have become a full member country of CAF 30 days after the Shareholders’ General Meeting determines that the conditions for its adhesion have been complied with, including the depositing of the instrument of adhesion. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay have ceased to be Series “C” shareholder countries, have adhered to the Constitutive Agreement and now possess Series “A” shares as full member shareholder countries.
Note: All figures as of September 30, 2018, that refer to “full member shareholder countries” include only the Republic of Argentina, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. All figures as of September 30, 2018 that refer to “associated shareholder countries” encompass all other shareholder countries. References to “shareholder countries” include both the full member shareholder countries and the associated shareholder countries.
Paid-in Capital and Unpaid Capital
At September 30, 2018, CAF’s subscribed capital (excluding callable capital) was $6.4 billion, of which $5.2 billion waspaid-in capital and $1.2 billion was unpaid capital. The unpaid capital is receivable in installments according to the agreements subscribed with the shareholder countries. Over the years, CAF has had several increases of subscribed capital.
Since 1990, capital contributions made to CAF (valor patrimonial) comprise a premium paid on each Series “B” and Series “C” share purchased and the nominal $5,000 per share value established by CAF’sby-laws. The premium component ofvalor patrimonial is determined at the beginning of each subscription and applies to all payments under that subscription.

Reserves
Article 42 of the Constitutive Agreement requires that at least 10% of CAF’s net income in each year be allocated to a mandatory reserve until that reserve amounts to 50% of subscribed capital. The mandatory reserve can be used only to offset losses. The mandatory reserve is an accounting reserve. CAF also maintains a general reserve to cover contingent events and as a source of funding of last resort in the event of temporary illiquidity or when funding in the international markets is not available or is impractical.
At September 30, 2018, our reserves totaled $2.9 billion. At such date, the mandatory reserve pursuant to Article 42 of the Constitutive Agreement amounted to $0.5 billion, or 6.2%, of subscribedpaid-in and capital subscriptions receivable, and the general reserve amounted to $2.4 billion.

Callable Capital
In addition to CAF’s subscribedpaid-in andun-paid capital, CAF’s shareholders have subscribed to callable capital totaling $1.6 billion at September 30, 2018. CAF’s callable capital may be called by the Board of Directors to meet CAF’s obligations only to the extent that CAF is unable to meet such obligations with its own resources. For further information regarding subscribed callable capital, see Note 16 (“Stockholders’ Equity”) to CAF’s audited financial statements in the accompanying prospectus.
The Constitutive Agreement provides that the obligation of shareholders to pay for the shares of callable capital, upon demand by the Board of Directors, continues until such callable capital is paid in full. Thus, CAF considers 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 CAF’s audited financial statements and notes thereto beginning on pageF-7 of the accompanying prospectus and the unaudited condensed interim financial information as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the notes thereto beginning on pageS-27 of this prospectus supplement.
Market Overview and Portfolio Trends
In recent months, important global economic developments have occurred including (i) a slight increase in oil prices due in part to the possibility of sanctions against Russia and Iran and the recentre-imposition of sanctions on Iran by the United States, (ii) a stronger than expected pickup in growth in advanced economies, (iii) low growth and increasing inflation in Latin America, (iv) potential trade disputes and (v) an increase in short-term interest rates in the United States.
While the slight increase in oil prices and some of the other global economic developments discussed above have not adversely affected our results of operations, certain of these recent global developments could negatively affect our borrowers, which may result in a downward adjustment of the external risk rating of some of our sovereign borrowers and a corresponding increase in our allowance for loan losses, according to the methodology described in “— Income Statement — Provision for Loan Losses” below.
Both 2017 and 2016 were characterized by growth in our loan portfolio as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, principally through additionalpaid-in capital contributions by several of our existing shareholder countries, as well as the issuance of shares to new shareholder countries. These two main drivers have led our loan portfolio to grow 7.54% in 2017 and 7.57% in 2016. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the loan portfolio grew by 2.0%. This is in line with CAF’s business cycle, loan disbursement and portfolio projections, which are expected to increase significantly in the final quarter of 2018.
As of December 31, 2017, our loan portfolio was distributed by country as follows: Ecuador — 14.5%, Venezuela — 13.9%, Argentina — 13.6%, Colombia — 10.6%, Bolivia — 10.5%, Peru — 9.6%, Brazil — 9.0%, Panama — 6.4%, Uruguay — 4.4%, Paraguay — 1.8%, Mexico — 1.3%, Chile — 1.3%, Trinidad & Tobago — 1.3%, Dominican Republic — 1.1%, Costa Rica — 0.4%, and Barbados — 0.4%.
Notwithstanding the increasing presence of other state-sponsored development banks in the regions in which we operate, we do not expect that the growth of our loan portfolio will be materially affected by the activities of other development banks in the region, since the financing needs of our shareholder countries exceed the current supply of lending resources. We believe that activities of other development banks are complementary to our lending operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
CAF’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires CAF in some cases to use estimates and assumptions that may affect its reported results and disclosures. CAF describes its significant accounting policies in Note 2 (“Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”) to its audited financial statements in the accompanying prospectus. Some of the more significant accounting policies it uses to present its financial results involve the use of accounting estimates that it considers 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 CAF’s reported results of operations or financial condition.
S-17
Table of Contents
Specifically, the estimates CAF uses to determine the allowance for loan losses are critical accounting estimates.
Additionally, other important estimates related to the preparation of CAF’s financial statements are those related to revenue recognition and the valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments. The fair values for some financial assets and liabilities recorded in CAF’s financial statements are determined according to the procedures established by the accounting pronouncement ASC 820. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, CAF has not changed or reclassified any asset or liability from one level to another pursuant to the hierarchy reflected in ASC 820, thereby maintaining consistency in the application of accounting principles in this matter
Income Statement
Interest Income
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’s interest income was $940.8 million, representing an increase of $197.9 million, or 26.6%, compared to interest income of $742.9 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted primarily from higher interest rates charged on loans that accrue interest based onsix-month LIBOR and a spread differential and higher interest earnings on investments in our liquidity portfolio that bear interest based on LIBOR. Average market interest rates were higher in the first nine months of 2018, whensix-month LIBOR averaged 2.38%, than in the first nine months of 2017, whensix-month LIBOR averaged 1.41%.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our interest income was $1,002.0 million, representing an increase of $188.6 million, or 23.18%, compared to interest income of $813.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from the growth of our loan portfolio, which grew 7.54%, and from higher interest rates in 2017. Average market interest rates were higher in 2017 than in 2016; in 2017 thesix-month LIBOR averaged 1.48% compared with 1.06% in 2016. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $813.5 million, representing an increase of $192.2 million, or 30.94%, compared to interest income of $621.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Such increase also resulted primarily from the growth of our loan portfolio and higher interest rates compared to the corresponding period in 2015.
Interest Expense
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’s interest expense was $594.0 million, representing an increase of $141.3 million, or 31.2%, compared to interest expense of $452.6 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted from higher funding requirements due to a growth in our loan portfolio of 4.6% compared with September 30, 2017, as well as higher funding costs due to the increase ofsix-month LIBOR and the spread differential. Average market interest rates were higher in the first nine months of 2018, whensix-month LIBOR averaged 2.38%, than in the first nine months of 2017, whensix-month LIBOR averaged 1.41%. The average amount of liabilities increased by 4.3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared with the average for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $621.6 million, representing an increase of $150.5 million, or 32.0%, from our interest expense of $471.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from higher funding requirements related to a 7.5% growth in our loan portfolio during 2017 and an increase in funding costs associated with an increase insix-month LIBOR. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2016. Average market interest rates were higher in 2017 than in 2016; in 2017 thesix-month LIBOR averaged 1.48% compared with 1.06% in 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our interest expense was $471.1 million, representing an increase of
S-18
Table of Contents
$125.7 million, or 36.4%, from our interest expense of $345.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted primarily from higher funding requirements related to the growth in the average levels of our loan portfolio in 2016 and the increase in average market interest rates described above. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Net Interest Income
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’s net interest income was $346.8 million, representing an increase of $56.6 million, or 19.5%, compared to net interest income of $290.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted from higher average market rates as well as an increase in interest-earning assets in comparison to financial liabilities. The net interest income margin was 1.32% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to 1.11% for the corresponding period in 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our net interest income was $380.4 million, representing an increase of $38.0 million, or 11.1%, over net interest income of $342.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted from an increase not only in the loan portfolio but also in interest rates and a reduction in the net borrowing spread on new issuances of debt securities, which were partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to the rise in bond issuances. Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $342.4 million, representing an increase of $66.5 million, or 24.1%, over net interest income of $275.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted from higher yielding liquid assets, and the growth of our loan portfolio. Our net interest income margin was 1.10% in 2017, compared to 1.10% in 2016 and 0.92% in 2015.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provisions in the periods described below reflect management’s estimates for both general and specific provisions. The allowance for loan losses is estimated considering the credit risk exposure, probability of default and loss given default, which represents our anticipated loss in the event of a borrower default and which is based on external data provided by risk rating agencies, recognizing such effects in profit or loss for the period. We establish a specific allowance for loan losses for impaired loans. A loan is considered as impaired when, based on currently available information and events, there exists the probability that we will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original loan contract. Loans whose terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, generally, already will have been identified as impaired. CAF’s management individually evaluates the compliance of the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of the restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status. See Note 2g. and 2h. to our audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan losses calculations.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF recorded a provision for loan losses of $19.6 million, compared with a provision for loan losses of $40.0 million for the corresponding period in 2017. In light of the November 2017 downgrade in Venezuela’s long-term foreign ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, to selective default (“SD”) from CC and to restricted default (“RD”) from C, respectively, CAF increased its allowance for loan losses with respect to loans made to Venezuela to $29.7 million at September 30, 2018. The total allowance for loan losses decreased mainly due to specific loans being written off in 2018.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $69.9 million, representing an increase of $31.6 million, or 82.7%, compared with the provision for loan losses of $38.2 million for 2016. This increase was mainly due to an increase in specific provisions for loan losses with respect to certain private sector loans to borrowers in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Spain and Uruguay, and also the

deterioration of the long-term foreign rating of some of our shareholder countries. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $38.2 million, representing an increase of $19.5 million, or 104.6%, compared with the provision for loan losses of $18.7 million for 2015. Changes in the provision occurred mainly due to specific provisions for impaired loans in the private sector to borrowers in Brazil, Peru, Spain and Uruguay.
Non-Interest Income
CAF’snon-interest income consists principally of commissions, dividends and our corresponding share of earnings or losses on equity investments, which are accounted for using the equity method, and other income.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’snon-interest income was $9.4 million, representing an increase of $2.9 million, or 43.9%, compared tonon-interest income of $6.6 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase was mainly due to higher income from dividends and equity investments.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our totalnon-interest income was $16.0 million, representing a decrease of $35.6 million, or 69.1%, from totalnon-interest income of $51.6 million for the previous year. This decrease was due to thenon-cash currency exchange differential that occurred in 2016, but not 2017, for borrowings denominated in Venezuelan bolivars as a result of the devaluation of the bolivar. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our totalnon-interest income was $51.6 million, representing an increase of $34.8 million, or 207.8%, from totalnon-interest income of $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted principally from thenon-cash currency exchange differential for borrowings denominated in Venezuelan bolivars that occurred because of the devaluation of the bolivar, which is recognized in“Non-interest income — Other income.”
Non-Interest Expenses
CAF’snon-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses, representing 91.9% and 89.7% of totalnon-interest expenses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’snon-interest expenses were $121.6 million, representing an increase of $4.6 million, or 3.9%, compared to totalnon-interest expenses of $117.0 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase resulted principally from an increase in administrative expenses.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF’s administrative expenses were $111.7 million, or 0.4% (on an annualized basis) of its total average assets, representing an increase of $6.7 million, or 6.4%, compared to administrative expenses of $105.0 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted principally from the growth of Representation Offices in the region.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our totalnon-interest expenses were $162.3 million, representing an increase of $10.8 million, or 7.1%, over totalnon-interest expenses of $151.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our totalnon-interest expenses were $151.6 million, representing an increase of $12.4 million, or 8.9%, over totalnon-interest expenses of $139.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, administrative expenses were $150.1 million, or 0.4% of our average total assets, representing an increase of $9.2 million over administrative expenses of $141.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase resulted principally from the growth in CAF’s business. For the year ended December 31, 2016, administrative expenses were $141.0 million, or 0.4% of our average total assets, representing an increase of $15.9 million over administrative expenses of $125.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase resulted principally from the growth in our business.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, equity investments in which our participation is less than 20% of the investee’s equity, and that have no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost according to U.S. GAAP. Also, management is required to assess the value of these investments at least annually 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 its analysis of these equity investments, we recognized impairment charges on our equity investments of $11.0 million in 2017, $9.2 million in 2016 and $11.0 million in 2015.
Net Income
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, our net income was $166.6 million, representing an increase of $70.3 million, or 73.0%, compared to net income of $96.3 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase is mainly due to an increase in interest income as a result of higher average market rates that generated higher income in our loan portfolio and investment portfolio as well as a reduction in allowance for loan losses when compared with the corresponding period in 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. In March 2014, the Stockholders’ Assembly agreed, effective 2015, to approve a maximum amount to be contributed to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year and to recognize these contributions as expenses. In 2017, CAF recognized $92.1 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of $76.4 million, representing a decrease of $46.3 million, or 37.7%, compared to net income of $122.7 million for 2016. This decrease resulted primarily due to a reduction in totalnon-interest income and an increase in contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds. In 2016, CAF recognized $68.0 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of $122.7 million, representing an increase of $45.1 million, or 58.1%, compared to net income of $77.6 million for 2015. For more information see Note 24 (“Special Funds and Other Funds Under Management”) to our audited financial statements in the accompanying prospectus.
Net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $164.2 million, representing a decrease of $40.0 million, or 19.6%, compared to net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of $204.2 million for 2016. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease innon-interest income, the increase in administrative expenses, and an increase in provisions, partially offset by higher net interest income. Net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $204.2 million, representing an increase of $69.4 million, or 51.5%, compared to net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of $134.8 million for 2015. This increase is mainly due to an increase in net interest income as a result of the growth of the loan portfolio, the increase in other income relating to thenon-cash currency exchange differential due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar, partially offset by increases in provisions and administrative expenses.
Balance Sheet
Assets

For further discussion of these arrangements, see Note 22 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to CAF’s audited financial statements in the accompanying prospectus.
Strategy and Capital Resources
CAF’s business strategy is to provide financing for projects, trade and investment in the shareholder countries. Management expects CAF’s assets to grow in the future, which will increase its 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 CAF’s equity will continue to be held by full member shareholder countries, CAF intends to continue offering equity participation to associated shareholder countries through the issuances of Series “C” shares. See “Capital Structure.”
CAF intends to continue its programs to foster sustainable growth within the shareholder countries, and to increase its support for the private sector within its markets, either directly or through financial institutions

Independent Auditors’ Review Report
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF)
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim balance sheet ofCorporación Andina de Fomento (CAF)as of September 30, 2018, and the related condensed interim statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (the “interim financial information”).
Management’s Responsibility for the Interim Financial Information
CAF’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial information, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct our review in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial information. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the interim financial information referred to above for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017
and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017
(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. | ORIGIN |

Series “A” and “B” stockholder countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela.

2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Financial statement presentation –The unaudited condensed interim financial information as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited and has been prepared, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, such condensed interim financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily an indication of the results to be expected for the full year 2018.
This condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with CAF’s audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and the notes thereto.
For a detailed discussion about CAF´s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, there were no significant updates to CAF´s significant accounting policies except as detailed as follow:
ASU2016-01, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, Financial Instruments—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments to be
S-31
Table of Contents
measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This ASU was adopted prospectively by CAF on January 1, 2018, and such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Accounting policy change
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, CAF prospectively adopted the policy of subsequent measurement for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, as follows:
a.) direct investments in equity securities of companies, previously accounted for at cost, without a readily determinable fair value, and that do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value, are accounted for its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investments of the same issuer.
b.) for equity investments in funds without readily determinable fair value, previously accounted for at cost, CAF has applied the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value.

13. | TAX EXEMPTIONS |
In all Full Member Shareholder Countries, 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 taxes.
14. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency risk is managed by swapping marketable securities—trading, loans, borrowings and bonds, subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in other currency into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF enters into derivative financial 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. Derivative financial instruments held by CAF consist of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings with fixed interest rates and denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps as an economic hedge (derivative that is entered into to manage a risk but is not accounted as a hedge) for interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with bonds, borrowings or loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar where CAF’s management elected to measure those liabilities and assets at fair value under the fair value option guidance.
When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty owes CAF, creating credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not have credit risk. CAF minimizes the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.
In order to reduce the credit risk in derivative financial instruments, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap contracts are regularlymarked-to-market, and the party being the net obligor is required to post collateral when net markto-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds. This collateral is in the form of cash.
CAF does not offset for each counterparty, the fair value amount recognized for derivative financial instruments with the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty. CAF reports separately the cumulative gross amounts for the receivable from and payable to for derivative financial instruments.
CAF also utilizes futures derivatives instruments to reduce exposure to price risk. There are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a
S-40
Table of Contents
specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. Initial margin requirements are met with cash or securities. CAF generally closes out open positions prior to maturity. Therefore, cash receipts or payments are limited to the change in fair value of the future contracts. Additionally, CAF utilizes forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk.
The balance sheet details related to CAF’s derivative financial instruments are as follows:

CAF enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting arrangements with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. These legally enforceable master netting arrangements give CAF the right to take cash or liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty, in the event of default by the counterparty. The following tables present information about the effect of offsetting of derivative financial instruments, although CAF has elected not to offset any derivative financial instruments by counterparty in the balance sheet:

15. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each financial instrument is classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation methodologies and the key inputs to those methodologies.
When available, CAF generally uses quoted prices in active markets to determine fair value.
If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc.
Where available, CAF may also make use of quoted prices in active markets for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the financial instrument being valued. The frequency and size of trading activity and the amount of thebid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed quoted prices from those markets.

Table of Contents
The following valuation methodologies are used to estimate the fair value and determine the classification in the fair value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:
• | Marketable securities: CAF uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities. These securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined using a discounted cash flow technique using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. These loans are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Derivative assets and liabilities:Derivative financial instruments transactions contracted anddesignated by CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both, for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases the fair value is calculated using market prices provided by an independent financial information services company, which are determined based on discounted cash flows using observable inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Bonds and borrowings: For CAF´s bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration benchmark interest yield curves at the end of the reporting period to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting market fluctuation of key variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Bonds and borrowings are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodologies technique. |
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

The following methodologies and input were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments, not accounted for at fair value:
• | Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, interest and commissions receivable, other investment, deposits, commercial paper, accrued interest payable, derivate related collateral, receivable from investment securities sold and payable for investment securities purchased: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
• | Loans:CAF is one of the few institutions that grant loans for development projects in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by CAF. As rates on variable rate loans are reset on a semiannual basis, the carrying value, adjusted for credit risk, was determined to be the best estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined by using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated on the basis of discounted cash flows. |
• | Equity investments: CAF elected a practically exception to fair value measurement on its direct investments in equity securities of companies without a readily determinable fair value under ASU2016-01 and measured those investments at cost, less impairment plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar instrument of the same issuer. As of September 30, 2018, the carrying amount of those investments amounted to US$ 122,317, the effects of the impairment were recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and the changes in observable prices are not material for the financial statements. In addition, as of September 30, 2018, investments in funds without a readily determinable fair value, with carrying amount of US$ 306,956, are accounted for at fair value applying the practical expedient, using the net asset value per share. |
CAF’s equity investments in other entities accounted for a cost of US$ 397,357 at December 31, 2017, do not have available market price quotations and it is impracticable to determine the fair value of these investments without incurring excessive cost.

Guarantees | 167,256 | 176,642 | ||||||
Letters of credit | 1,287 | 3,754 |
These commitments and contingencies arose from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.
S-48
Table of Contents
In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend loans; such loan commitments are reported in the above table upon signing the corresponding loan agreement and are reported as loans in the balance sheets when disbursements are made. Loan commitments that have fulfilled the necessary requirements for disbursement are classified as eligible.
The commitments to extend loans have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without a loan being disbursed. Also, based on experience, portions of the loan commitments are disbursed on average two years after the signing of the loan agreement. Therefore, the amounts of total commitment to extend loans do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The lines of credit are extended to financial and corporate institutions as a facility to grant short term loans basically to finance working capital and international trade activities.
Guarantees mature as follows:
September 30, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Less than one year | 8,285 | 17,391 | ||||||
Between one and two years | 15,000 | 15,000 | ||||||

To the best knowledge of CAF’s management, CAF is not involved in any litigation that is material to CAF’s business or that is likely to have any impact on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
18. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
Management has determined that CAF has only one operating and reportable segment since it does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of individual operations. CAF does not differentiate on the basis of the nature of the products or services provided, the preparation process, or the method for providing services among individual countries.
Loans made to or guaranteed by four countries individually generated in excess, of 10% interest income on loans, as follows:

This prospectus supplement describes the terms of the notes in greater detail than the accompanying prospectus and may provide information that differs from the accompanying prospectus. If the information in this prospectus supplement differs from the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.
General
We describe the price, interest and payment terms of the notes on the cover and in the summary of this prospectus supplement.
We will issue the notes under a fiscal agency agreement, dated as of March 17, 1998, between us and The Bank of New York Mellon (assuccessor-in-interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), as fiscal agent.
This description of the notes includes summaries of our understanding of certain customary rules and operating procedures of The Depository Trust Company, or “DTC,” that affect transfers of interests in the global note. DTC may amend its customary rules and operating procedures after the date of this prospectus supplement.
The notes are not secured by any of our property or assets. Accordingly, your ownership of notes means you are one of our unsecured creditors. The notes are not subordinated in right of payment to any of our other unsecured debt obligations and therefore they rank equally with all our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. “Indebtedness” means all indebtedness of CAF in respect of monies borrowed by us and guarantees given by us for monies borrowed by others.
The notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.
Interest on any note will be paid to the person in whose name such note was registered at the close of business on the preceding and , whether or not a business day (as defined below). For purposes of this prospectus supplement, “business day” is a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.
If an interest payment date [(other than the interest payment date that is also the date of maturity)] would fall on a day that is not a business day, the payment of interest in respect of that interest payment date will be postponed to the following day that is a business day[, except that if such next business day is in a different month, then the payment of interest in respect of that interest payment date will be on the day immediately preceding that interest payment date that is a business day]. The amount of interest payable in respect of an interest payment date will remain the same notwithstanding that the actual day of payment thereof is changed in accordance with the preceding sentence. If the date of maturity is not a business day, the payment of principal of and interest on the notes will be made on the following day that is a business day, and no interest will accrue for the period from and after such date of maturity.
The issuance by CAF from time to time of its debt securities has been authorized by the resolutions of the Executive President of CAF dated June 11, 2018, and a further resolution dated , 2019, pursuant to powers delegated to the Executive President by Resolution No. 2209/2017 of the Board of Directors of CAF dated December 5, 2017.

Form and Denominations
The Global Note
We will issue the notes in the form of one or more global debt securities (which we refer to collectively as the “global note”) registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The global note will be issued:
• | only in fully registered form, and |
• | without interest coupons. |
You may hold beneficial interests in the global note directly through DTC if you have an account at DTC, or indirectly through organizations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC account holder, either directly or indirectly. Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), and Clearstream Banking, S.A. (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), are indirect participants in DTC, and therefore participants in Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will hold beneficial interests in the global notes indirectly at DTC.
What is a Global Security? A global security (such as the global note) is a special type of security held in the form of a certificate by a depositary for the investors in a particular issue of securities. The aggregate principal amount of the global security equals the sum of the principal amounts of the issue of securities it represents. The depositary or its nominee is the sole legal holder of the global security. The beneficial interests of investors in the issue of securities are represented in book-entry form in the computerized records of the depositary. If investors want to purchase securities represented by a global security, they must do so through brokers, banks or other financial institutions that have an account with the depositary. In the case of the notes, DTC will act as depositary and Cede & Co. will act as DTC’s nominee.
Special Investor Considerations for Global Securities. Because you, as an investor, will not be a registered legal holder of the global note, your rights relating to the global note will be governed by the account rules of your bank or broker and of the depositary, DTC, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. While the notes are held as global notes, we will not recognize a typical investor as a legal owner of the notes and instead will deal only with the fiscal agent and DTC or its nominee, the registered legal holder of the global note.
You should be aware that as long as the notes are issued only in the form of a global security:
• | You cannot get the notes registered in your own name. |
• | You cannot receive physical certificates for your interests in the notes. |
• | You will not be a registered legal holder of the notes and must look to your own bank or broker for payments on the notes and protection of your legal rights relating to the notes. |
• | You may not be able to sell interests in the notes to some insurance companies and other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in the form of physical certificates. |
• | As an owner of beneficial interests in the global note, you may not be able to pledge your interests to anyone who does not have an account with DTC, or to otherwise take actions in respect of your interests, because you cannot get physical certificates representing those interests. |
• | DTC’s policies will govern payments of principal and interest, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to your interest in the global note. We and the fiscal agent have no responsibility for any aspect of DTC’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global note. Also, we and the fiscal agent do not supervise DTC in any way. |
• | DTC will require that interests in the global note be purchased or sold within its system usingsame-day funds. |
S-57
Table of Contents
Description of DTC.We understand that:
DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
DTC was created to hold securities for financial institutions that have accounts with it, and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between the account holders through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC account holders include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system is also available to banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC account holder, either directly or indirectly.
DTC’s rules are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the account holders to whose accounts beneficial interests in the global note are credited. These account holders may or may not be the owners of the beneficial interests so recorded. The account holders will be responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of the beneficial owners.
Definitive Notes
In a few special situations described in the next paragraph, the global note will terminate and your interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing the notes, which we refer to as “definitive notes.” After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold the definitive notes directly or in “street name” (in computerized book-entry form) will be up to you. You must consult your own bank or broker to find out how to have your interests in the definitive notes transferred to your own name, if you wish to be a direct legal holder of the definitive notes.
We will cause definitive notes to be issued in exchange for the global note if we decide in our sole discretion not to have any of the notes represented by the global note or if DTC or its nominee notifies us that:
• | it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue acting as the depositary for the global note; |
• | it has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be so registered and we do not appoint a successor depositary within 90 days; or |
• | an event of default with respect to the notes represented by the global note has occurred and is continuing as described under “Description of the Debt Securities — Default; Acceleration of Maturity” in the accompanying prospectus. |
We would issue definitive notes:
• | in fully registered form; |
• | without interest coupons; and |
• | in denominations of multiples of $1,000. |
Any definitive notes issued in this way would be registered in the names and denominations requested by DTC.
Payments on the Notes
The Global Notes. The fiscal agent will make payments of principal of, and interest on, the global notes to Cede & Co., the nominee for DTC, as the registered owner. The principal of, and interest on, the notes will be payable in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars.
S-58
Table of Contents
We understand that it is DTC’s current practice, upon DTC’s receipt of any payment of principal of, or interest on, global securities such as the global note, to credit the accounts of DTC account holders with payment in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by DTC account holders to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through these account holders will be the responsibility of the account holders, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name.”
Neither we nor the fiscal agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC’s or its account holders’ records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the global note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.
“Street name” and other owners of beneficial interests in the global note should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive payments. |
Definitive Notes. Payment of the principal of definitive notes, if any exist, may be made at the office of the fiscal agent. Payment of the interest on definitive notes will be paid by check mailed to you if you are a registered holder of definitive notes. At the request of a registered holder of more than $1,000,000 principal amount of definitive notes, payments of principal or interest may be made to that holder by wire transfer.
Unclaimed Payments on the Notes. Any monies we pay to our fiscal agent or any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any notes that remain 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 notes when due.
Transfer and Exchange of the Notes
The Global Note. Except as described below, the global note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to DTC, to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
Beneficial Interests in the Global Note. Beneficial interests in the global note will be represented, and transfers of such beneficial interests will be made, through accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners either directly as account holders, or indirectly through account holders, at DTC. Beneficial interests will be in multiples of $1,000.
Definitive Notes. You may present definitive notes, if any exist, for registration of transfer or exchange at the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent in The City of New York, which we have appointed as the security registrar and transfer agent for the notes.
Exercise of Legal Rights Under the Notes
DTC may grant proxies or otherwise authorize DTC account holders (or persons holding beneficial interests in the notes through DTC account holders) to exercise any rights of a legal holder of the global note or take any other actions that a holder is entitled to take under the fiscal agency agreement or the notes. Under its usual procedures, as soon as possible after a record date, DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to us assigning Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those DTC account holders to whose accounts the notes are credited on such record date. Accordingly, in order to exercise any rights of a holder of notes, as an owner of a beneficial interest in the global note you must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if you are not an account holder, on the procedures of the account holder through which you own your interest.
We understand that, under existing industry practice, in the event that you, as an owner of a beneficial interest in the global note, desire to take any action that Cede & Co., as the holder of the global note, is entitled to
S-59
Table of Contents
take, Cede & Co. would authorize the relevant DTC account holder to take the action, and the account holder would authorize you, as an owner of a beneficial interest in the global note, through its accounts, to take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through it.
Although DTC has agreed to the procedures described above in order to facilitate transfers of notes among DTC account holders, DTC is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and these procedures may be modified or discontinued at any time.
“Street name” and other owners of beneficial interests in the global note should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to exercise and protect their rights in the notes represented by the global note. |
Notices
Notices will be sent by mail to the registered holders of the notes. If the notes are represented by a global note, any such notices will be delivered to DTC.
Certain Other Provisions
You should refer to the accompanying prospectus under the heading “Description of the Debt Securities” for a description of certain other provisions of the notes and the fiscal agency agreement.
S-60
Table of Contents
GLOBAL CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES
Initial settlement for interests in the notes will be made insame-day U.S. dollar funds.
With regard to secondary market trading of interests in the notes, we understand the following:
Secondary market sales of interests in the notes between DTC participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules. Secondary market sales of interests in the notes held through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg to purchasers of interests in the notes through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg will be conducted in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds.
Cross-market transfers between persons holding interests in the notes directly or indirectly through DTC participants, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant international clearing system by its U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant international clearing system will, if a transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for settlement in DTC. Euroclear participants and Clearstream, Luxembourg participants may not deliver instructions directly to the respective U.S. depositary.
Because of time-zone differences, credits of interests in the notes received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing and will be dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits or any transactions in such interests in the notes settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg participants on such business day. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of sales of interests in the notes by or through a Euroclear participant or a Clearstream, Luxembourg participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.
Although we expect that DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg will follow the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in notes among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be changed or discontinued at any time. None of us, the fiscal agent or any other agent will have any responsibility for the performance by any clearing system, or their respective direct or indirect participants or accountholders, of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

The underwriters propose to offer the notes initially at the public offering price on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. After the initial public offering the underwriters may change the public offering price and may allow concessions and discounts to broker/dealers.
Trading of the Notes
One or more of the underwriters intends to make a secondary market for the notes. However, the underwriters are not obligated to do so and may discontinue making a secondary market for the notes at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the London Stock Exchange, in theover-the-counter market or otherwise. No assurance can be given as to how liquid the trading market for the notes will be.
Price Stabilization and Short Positions
In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.
• | Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. |
• | Syndicate-covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the notes in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. |

Table of Contents
• | Penalty bids permit the representatives to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the notes originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing transaction or a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. |
These stabilizing transactions, syndicate-covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
In connection with the issue of the notes, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., as the Stabilizing Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilizing Manager(s)) may over-allot notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilizing Manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any Stabilizing Manager(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
Settlement and Sales of Notes
We expect the delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which is the business day following the date hereof (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+ ”). Under Rule15c6-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to that trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade notes on the date hereof or the next succeeding business days will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+ , to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time for any such trade to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, using a “shelf” registration process. Under the shelf process, we may from time to time sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $2,500,000,000 or the equivalent of this amount in foreign currencies or foreign currency units.
This prospectus provides you with a general description of our business and of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of the securities in that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement before purchasing our securities. If the information in any prospectus supplement differs from the information in this prospectus or in the registration statement, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement.
The registration statement, any post-effective amendment to the registration statement and their various exhibits contain additional information about Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”), the securities we may issue and other matters. All of these documents may be inspected at the offices of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You should rely only on the information in this prospectus or in other documents to which we have referred you in making your investment decision. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. This prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell these securities. The information in this prospectus may only be accurate on the date specified on the cover of this document.

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

CAF was established in 1968 pursuant to theAgreement 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 Argentine Republic; the Plurinational State of Bolivia; the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago; the Federative Republic of Brazil; the Oriental Republic of Uruguay; and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela — 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, 2017, the full member shareholder countries of CAF collectively accounted for 91.86% of the nominal value of ourpaid-in capital. The other shareholder countries of CAF are Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain, 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, 2017, our associated shareholder countries collectively accounted for 8.10% of the nominal value of ourpaid-in capital. We refer to our full member shareholder countries and our associated shareholder countries collectively as our shareholder countries. Our shares are also held by 13 financial institutions based in the full member shareholder countries, which collectively accounted for 0.04% of the nominal value of thepaid-in capital at December 31, 2017.
CAF commenced operations in 1970. Our headquarters are in Caracas. We have offices in Asunción, Bogotá, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, La Paz, Lima, Madrid, Mexico City, Montevideo, Panama City, Port of Spain and Quito.
We offer financial and related services to the governments of, and public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures operating in, our shareholder countries. Primarily, we provide short, medium and long-term loans and guarantees; to a lesser extent, we also participate as a limited equity investor in corporations and investment funds, and provide technical and financial assistance, as well as administrative services for certain regional funds.
The Constitutive Agreement generally delegates to our Board of Directors the power to establish and direct our financial, credit and economic policies. Our Board of Directors has adopted a formal statement of our financial and operational policies, the (Políticas de Gestión). These operational policies provide our management with guidance as to significant financial and operational issues, and they may not be amended by the Board of Directors in any manner inconsistent with the Constitutive Agreement. See “Operations of CAF — Credit Policies.”
We raise funds to finance 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 and immunity from enforcement of judicial proceedings by any party prior to final judgment; |
(2) | free convertibility and transferability of our assets; |
(3) | exemption from all taxes and tariffs on income, properties or assets, and from any liability involving payment, withholding or collection of any taxes; and |
(4) | exemption from any restrictions, regulations, controls or moratoria with respect to our property or assets. |
In addition, we have entered into agreements with each of our associated shareholder countries. Pursuant to these agreements, each country has agreed to extend to us, with respect to our activities in and concerning that country, immunities and privileges similar to those we have been granted in the full member shareholder countries. CAF may also enjoy immunities and privileges under the laws of countries other than the full member shareholder countries and associated shareholder countries by virtue of its status as an international treaty organization or the identity of its shareholders.
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.

General
As of March 31, 2018, CAF’s total authorized capital is $15.0 billion, of which $10.0 billion is ordinary capital shares and $5.0 billion is callable capital shares.
In November 2015, the Board of Directors approved a new generalpaid-in capital increase for a total amount of $4.5 billion, of which $4.0 billion is available for Series “A” and “B” stockholders and $500 million is available in respect of such capital contributions for Series “C” stockholders. Throughout 2016 and 2017, CAF’s management signed subscription agreements with various stockholders. The capital contributions related to this increase began in 2017 and are expected to be paid during the period ending in 2025.
Our shares are divided into Series “A” shares, Series “B” shares and Series “C” shares.
Series “A” shares may be owned only by the full member shareholder countries (as defined below). Each full member shareholder country owns one Series “A” share, which is held by the government, either directly or through a government-designated social or public purpose institution. Each of the full member shareholder countries owning a Series “A” share is entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director to our Board of Directors.
Series “B” shares are currently owned by the full member shareholder countries, and are held by the governments either directly or through designated governmental entities, except for certain Series “B” shares currently constituting approximately 0.04% of our outstanding shares, which are owned by 13 private sector financial institutions in the full member shareholder countries. We offered and sold Series “B” shares to private sector financial institutions in 1989 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 additional Alternate Directors through cumulative voting, and the 13 private sector financial institutions collectively are entitled to elect one Director and one Alternate Director.
Series “C” shares are currently owned by eight associated shareholder countries: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. We make available Series “C” shares 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 such 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.
The Constitutive Agreement (i) allows, under certain circumstances, Latin American and Caribbean countries, including those that are currently associated shareholder countries, to own Series “A” shares and become full member shareholder countries, and (ii) 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 Shareholders’ Meeting approved the terms and conditions precedent by which Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and
5
Table of Contents
Tobago and Uruguay could become contracting parties to the Constitutive Agreement, could become full member shareholder countries and could come to own Series “A” shares. In general, in order to become a full member country of CAF, a country must (i) subscribe, directly or indirectly, for one Series “A” share, (ii) exchange all of its ordinary and callable Series “C” capital shares for Series “B” share equivalents, (iii) meet any conditions for its accession as determined by the Shareholders’ General Meeting, and (iv) deposit its instrument of adhesion with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The country is deemed to have become a full member country of CAF 30 days after the Shareholders’ General Meeting determines that the conditions for its adhesion have been complied with, including the depositing of the instrument of adhesion. As of the date of this prospectus, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago and Uruguay have ceased to be Series “C” shareholder countries, have adhered to the Constitutive Agreement and now possess Series “A” shares as full member shareholder countries.
Note: All figures as of March 31, 2018, that refer to “full member shareholder countries” include only the Republic of Argentina, the Plurinational State of Bolivia, the Republics of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago, the Federative Republic of Brazil, the Oriental Republic of Uruguay, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. All figures as of March 31, 2018 that refer to “associated shareholder countries” encompass all other shareholder countries. References to “shareholder countries” include both the full member shareholder countries and the associated shareholder countries.
Paid-in Capital and Unpaid Capital
At March 31, 2018, CAF’s subscribed capital (excluding callable capital) was $6.4 billion, of which $5.0 billion waspaid-in capital and $1.4 billion was unpaid capital. The unpaid capital is receivable in installments according to the subscribed agreements with the shareholder countries. Over the years, we have had several increases of subscribed capital.
Since 1990, capital contributions made to CAF (valor patrimonial) comprise a premium paid on each Series “B” and Series “C” share purchased and the nominal $5,000 per share value established by CAF’sby-laws. The premium component ofvalor patrimonial is determined at the beginning of each subscription and applies to all payments under that subscription.

Reserves
Article 42 of the Constitutive Agreement requires that at least 10% of our net income in each year be allocated to a mandatory reserve until that reserve amounts to 50% of subscribed capital. The mandatory reserve can be used only to offset losses. The mandatory reserve is an accounting reserve. We also maintain a general reserve to cover contingent events and as a source of funding of last resort in the event of temporary illiquidity or when funding in the international markets is not available or is impractical.
At March 31, 2018, our reserves totaled $2.9 billion. At such date, the mandatory reserve pursuant to Article 42 of the Constitutive Agreement amounted to $493.2 million, or 7.7% of subscribedpaid-in and capital subscriptions receivable, and the general reserve amounted to $2.4 billion.

Table of Contents
Callable Capital
In addition to our subscribedpaid-in andun-paid capital, our shareholders have subscribed to callable capital totaling $1.6 billion at March 31, 2018. Our callable capital may be called by the Board of Directors to meet our obligations only to the extent that we are unable to meet such obligations with our own resources. For further information regarding subscribed callable capital, see Note 16 (“Stockholders’ Equity”) to our audited financial statements.
The Constitutive Agreement provides that the obligation of shareholders to pay for the shares of callable capital, upon demand by the Board of Directors, continues until such callable capital is paid in full. Thus, we consider the obligations of shareholder countries to pay for their respective callable capital subscriptions to be binding obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the respective governments. If the callable capital were to be called, the Constitutive Agreement requires that the call be prorated among shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto beginning on page F-7 of this prospectus and the unaudited condensed interim financial information as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Market Overview and Portfolio Trends
In recent months, important global economic developments have occurred including (i) a slight increase in oil prices due in part to the possibility of sanctions against Russia and Iran and the recentre-imposition of sanctions on Iran by the United States, (ii) a stronger than expected pickup in growth in advanced economies, (iii) low growth and increasing inflation in Latin America, (iv) potential trade disputes and (v) an increase in short-term interest rates in the United States.
While the slight increase in oil prices and some of the other global economic developments discussed above have not adversely affected our results of operations, certain of these recent global developments could negatively affect our borrowers, which may result in a downward adjustment of the external risk rating of some of our sovereign borrowers and a corresponding increase in our allowance for loan losses, according to the methodology described in “— Income Statement — Provision for Loan Losses” below.
Both 2017 and 2016 were characterized by growth in our loan portfolio as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, principally through additionalpaid-in capital contributions by several of our existing shareholder countries, as well as the issuance of shares to new shareholder countries. These two main drivers have led our loan portfolio to grow 7.54% in 2017 and 7.57% in 2016.
As of December 31, 2017, our loan portfolio was distributed by country as follows: Ecuador — 14.5%, Venezuela — 13.9%, Argentina — 13.6%, Colombia — 10.6%, Bolivia — 10.5%, Peru — 9.6%, Brazil — 9.0%, Panama — 6.4%, Uruguay — 4.4%, Paraguay — 1.8%, Mexico — 1.3%, Chile — 1.3%, Trinidad & Tobago — 1.3%, Dominican Republic — 1.1%, Costa Rica — 0.4%, and Barbados — 0.4%.
Notwithstanding the increasing presence of other state-sponsored development banks in the regions in which we operate, we do not expect that the growth of our loan portfolio will be materially affected by the activities of other development banks in the region, since the financing needs of our shareholder countries exceed the current supply of lending resources. We believe that activities of other development banks are complementary to our lending operations.
Recent Developments Relating to Sanctions
The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) administers sanctions in respect of the Government of Venezuela and certain Venezuelan nationals, including certain Venezuelan government officials. CAF is not a U.S. Person and has not been sanctioned; however, the following discussion of the current sanctions administered by OFAC is included because Venezuela is a member country and minority shareholder of CAF.
With regard to any sanctions-targeted Venezuelan who has been added to OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List, U.S. persons may not make to such listed persons, or receive from such listed persons, any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services. The OFAC-administered sanctions also prohibit, with certain limited exceptions, (a) transactions by a U.S. person or within the United States relating to new debt with a maturity greater than 30 days or new equity, of the Government of Venezuela, bonds issued by the Government of Venezuela prior to August 25, 2017, and dividend payments or other distributions of profits to the Government of Venezuela from its controlled entities, and (b) direct or indirect purchases by a U.S. person or within the United States of securities from the Government of Venezuela (other than new debt with a maturity of 30 days or less). For purposes of these sanctions, amendments to outstanding debt of the Government of Venezuela, such as
14
Table of Contents
an extension of the maturity date, could be considered a “new debt” or other prohibited extension of credit. CAF intends to invest the proceeds from the offering of debt securities by this prospectus as part of its liquidity portfolio, from which funds will be withdrawn for the disbursement of loans and the payment of expenses. CAF will not earmark the proceeds of particular issuances of debt securities offered hereby to fund specific loan commitments or purchase specific investments. Accordingly, CAF believes that purchasers of the debt securities offered hereby will not acquire a direct or indirect interest in CAF’s loans to Venezuela, or any other specific assets of CAF, for purposes of the OFAC sanctions.
Although CAF generally is not required to comply with the OFAC sanctions outlined above because CAF is not a U.S. person and does not operate in or from the United States, CAF also transacts in the ordinary course with various commercial counterparties in the United States that are required to comply with the sanctions. Some of these U.S. counterparties may serve as correspondent banks or as other intermediaries with involvement in funds flows in respect of CAF’s loan operations, including CAF’s loans to the Government of Venezuela. Also, U.S. persons may purchase CAF’s debt securities. CAF will continue to monitor OFAC sanctions and restrictions thereunder as applied to U.S. persons insofar as such sanctions and restrictions may have an effect on CAF’s business and operations.
Although Venezuela is a member country and minority shareholder of CAF and two Venezuelan nationals designated by Venezuela serve as directors on the Board of Directors of CAF, neither the Government of Venezuela nor any member of the Board of Directors (whether or not a Venezuelan national) exercises control over CAF, has any operational or management role in CAF, or has any authority to negotiate on behalf of CAF or make binding commitments on behalf of CAF. No officer, director or employee of CAF is currently subject to OFAC-administered sanctions.
The OFAC sanctions on Venezuela, and any additional sanctions that may be imposed in the future, could make it more difficult for Venezuela to service or renegotiate its outstanding debt, including its outstanding loans from CAF.
Please see “Selected Projects” below for further information regarding the most recent loans to Venezuela.
Critical Accounting Policies
General
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us in some cases to use estimates and assumptions that may affect our reported results and disclosures. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 (“Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus. 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, other important estimates related to the preparation of CAF’s financial statements are those related to revenue recognition and the valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments. The fair values for some financial assets and liabilities recorded in our financial statements are determined according to the procedures established by the accounting pronouncement ASC 820. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not changed or reclassified any asset or liability from one level to another pursuant to the hierarchy reflected in ASC 820, thereby maintaining consistency in the application of accounting principles in this matter.

Statements of Comprehensive Income
Interest Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF’s interest income was $276.1 million, representing an increase of $43.9 million, or 18.9%, compared to interest income of $232.2 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted primarily from higher interest rates charged on loans that accrue interest based onsix-month LIBOR and a spread differential and higher interest earnings on investments in our liquidity portfolio that bear interest based on LIBOR. In the first three months of 2018,six-month LIBOR averaged 2.09%, up from an average of 1.37% for the first three months of 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our interest income was $1,002.0 million, representing an increase of $188.6 million, or 23.18%, compared to interest income of $813.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from the growth of our loan portfolio, which grew 7.54%, and from higher interest rates in 2017. Average market interest rates were higher in 2017 than in 2016; in 2017 thesix-month LIBOR averaged 1.48% compared with 1.06% in 2016. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $813.5 million, representing an increase of $192.2 million, or 30.94%, compared to interest income of $621.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Such increase also resulted primarily from the growth of our loan portfolio and higher interest rates compared to the corresponding period in 2015.
Interest Expense
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF’s interest expense was $179.5 million, representing an increase of $34.9 million, or 24.1%, compared to interest expense of $144.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted from higher funding requirements due to a growth in our loan portfolio of 3.4% compared with March 31, 2017, as well as funding costs due to the increase ofsix-month LIBOR and the spread differential. In the first three months of 2018,six-month LIBOR averaged 2.09%, up from an average of 1.37% for the first three months of 2017. The amount of our liabilities increased by 1.5% as of March 31, 2018, compared to the period ended March 31, 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $621.6 million, representing an increase of $150.5 million, or 32.0%, from our interest expense of $471.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted primarily from higher funding requirements related to a 7.5% growth in our loan portfolio during 2017 and an increase in funding costs associated with an increase insix-month LIBOR. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2016. Average market interest rates were higher in 2017 than in 2016; in 2017 thesix-month LIBOR averaged 1.48% compared with 1.06% in 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our interest expense was $471.1 million, representing an increase of $125.7 million, or 36.4%, from our interest expense of $345.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted primarily from higher funding requirements related to the growth in the average levels of our loan portfolio in 2016 and the increase in average market interest rates described above. The average amount of our liabilities increased by 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared with the average for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Net Interest Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF’s net interest income was $96.6 million, representing an increase of $9.0 million, or 10.3%, compared to net interest income of $87.6 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted from the 3.4% year over year increase in our loan portfolio. The net interest income margin was 1.1% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, as compared to 1.0% for the corresponding period in 2017.

Table of Contents
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our net interest income was $380.4 million, representing an increase of $38.0 million, or 11.1%, over net interest income of $342.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase resulted from an increase not only in our loan portfolio but also in interest rates and a reduction in the net borrowing spread on new issuances of debt securities, which were partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to the rise in bond issuances. Our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $342.4 million, representing an increase of $66.5 million, or 24.1%, over net interest income of $275.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted from higher yielding liquid assets, and the growth of our loan portfolio. Our net interest income margin was 1.10% in 2017, compared to 1.10% in 2016 and 0.92% in 2015.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provisions in the periods described below reflect management’s estimates for both general and specific provisions. The allowance for loan losses is estimated considering the credit risk exposure, probability of default and loss given default, which represents our anticipated loss in the event of a borrower default and which is based on external data provided by risk rating agencies, recognizing such effects in profit or loss for the period. We establish a specific allowance for loan losses for impaired loans. A loan is considered as impaired when, based on currently available information and events, there exists the probability that we will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original loan contract. Loans whose terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, generally, already will have been identified as impaired. CAF’s management individually evaluates the compliance of the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of the restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status. See Note 2g. and 2h. to our audited financial statements for further information regarding allowance for loan losses calculations.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF recorded a provision for loan losses of $9.3 million, compared with a provision for loan losses of $14.8 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in specific provisions for loan losses with respect to certain private sector loans in Spain, Peru and Uruguay. In light of the November 2017 downgrade in Venezuela’s long-term foreign ratings by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch, to selective default (“SD”) from CC and to restricted default (“RD”) from C, respectively, CAF increased its allowance for loan losses with respect to loans made to Venezuela to $29.4 million at March 31, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan losses with respect to loans made to Venezuela totaled $28.3 million.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $69.9 million, representing an increase of $31.6 million, or 82.7%, compared with the provision for loan losses of $38.2 million for 2016. This increase was mainly due to an increase in specific provisions for loan losses with respect to certain private sector loans to borrowers in Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Spain and Uruguay, and also the deterioration of the long-term foreign rating of some of our shareholder countries. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $38.2 million, representing an increase of $19.5 million, or 104.6%, compared with the provision for loan losses of $18.7 million for 2015. Changes in the provision occurred mainly due to specific provisions for impaired loans in the private sector to borrowers in Brazil, Peru, Spain and Uruguay.
Non-Interest Income
Ournon-interest income consists principally of commissions, dividends and our corresponding share of earnings or losses on equity investments, which are accounted for using the equity method, and other income.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF’snon-interest income was $2.2 million, representing an increase of $0.5 million, or 25.3%, compared tonon-interest income of $1.8 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase was mainly due to an

increase in the Dividends and Equity earnings investees which increased $0.6 million in the first three months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our totalnon-interest income was $16.0 million, representing a decrease of $35.6 million, or 69.1%, from totalnon-interest income of $51.6 million for the previous year. This decrease was due to thenon-cash currency exchange differential that occurred in 2016, but not 2017, for borrowings denominated in Venezuelan bolivars as a result of the devaluation of the bolivar. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our totalnon-interest income was $51.6 million, representing an increase of $34.8 million, or 207.8%, from totalnon-interest income of $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase resulted principally was due to thenon-cash currency exchange differential for borrowings denominated in Venezuelan bolivars that occurred because of the devaluation of the bolivar, which is recognized in“Non-interest income — Other income.”
Non-Interest Expenses
Ournon-interest expenses consist principally of administrative expenses.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF’snon-interest expenses were $38.3 million, representing a decrease of $1.3 million, or 3.4%, compared to totalnon-interest expenses of $39.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease resulted principally from a $5.0 million decrease in impairment charges on equity investments. The decrease was offset by an increase in administrative expenses of $4.3 million to $38.0 million, over administrative expenses of $33.7 million for the period ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to growth of Representation Offices in the region.
2017, 2016 and 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2017, our totalnon-interest expenses were $162.3 million, representing an increase of $10.8 million, or 7.1%, over totalnon-interest expenses of $151.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, our totalnon-interest expenses were $151.6 million, representing an increase of $12.4 million, or 8.9%, over totalnon-interest expenses of $139.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, administrative expenses were $150.1 million, or 0.4% of our average total assets, representing an increase of $9.2 million over administrative expenses of $141.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The increase resulted principally from the growth in CAF’s business. For the year ended December 31, 2016, administrative expenses were $141.0 million, or 0.4% of our average total assets, representing an increase of $15.9 million over administrative expenses of $125.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase resulted principally from the growth in our business.
As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, equity investments in which our participation is less than 20% of the investee’s equity, and that have no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost according to U.S. GAAP. Also, management is required to assess the value of these investments at least annually 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 its analysis of these equity investments, we recognized impairment charges on our equity investments of $11.0 million in 2017, $9.2 million in 2016 and $11.0 million in 2015.
Net Income
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, our net income was $49.9 million, representing an increase of $10.8 million, or 27.5%, compared to net income of $39.1 million for the corresponding period in 2017. This increase resulted principally from the 10.3% increase in net interest income and the 25.3% increase in totalnon-interest income in the first three months of 2018 compared to the correspondent period in 2017.

2017, 2016 and 2015. In March 2014, the Stockholders’ Assembly agreed, effective 2015, to approve a maximum amount to be contributed to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year and to recognize these contributions as expenses. In 2017, CAF recognized $92.1 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of $76.4 million, representing a decrease of $46.3 million, or 37.7%, compared to net income of $122.7 million for 2016. This decrease resulted primarily due to a reduction in totalnon-interest income and an increase in contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds. In 2016, CAF recognized $68.0 million as a contribution to Stockholders’ Special Funds, resulting in net income of $122.7 million, representing an increase of $45.1 million, or 58.1%, compared to net income of $77.6 million for 2015. For more information see Note 24 (“Special Funds and Other Funds Under Management”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.
Net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $164.2 million, representing a decrease of $40.0 million, or 19.6%, compared to net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of $204.2 million for 2016. This decrease is mainly due to the decrease innon-interest income, the increase in administrative expenses, and an increase in provisions, partially offset by higher net interest income. Net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $204.2 million, representing an increase of $69.4 million, or 51.5%, compared to net income before unrealized changes in fair value related to financial instruments and contributions to Stockholders’ Special Funds of $134.8 million for 2015. This increase is mainly due to an increase in net interest income as a result of the growth of the loan portfolio, the increase in other income relating to thenon-cash currency exchange differential due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar, partially offset by increases in provisions and administrative expenses.

(+) | Scheduled loan collections |
(+) | Committedpaid-in capital payments |
(-) | Scheduled debt service |
(-) | Committed disbursements |
Our investment policy requires that at least 90% of our liquid assets be held in the form of investment grade instruments ratedA-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. The remaining portion of our liquid assets may be invested innon-investment grade instruments ratedB-/Ba3/B or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. Our investment policy emphasizes security and liquidity over yield.

Commitments and Contingencies
We enter into commitments and contingencies in the normal course of our business to facilitate our business and objectives. Commitments and contingencies include: (1) credit agreements subscribed and pending disbursements, (2) lines and letters of credit for foreign trade, (3) equity investment agreements subscribed and (4) partial credit guarantees. For further discussion of these arrangements, see Note 22 (“Commitments and Contingencies”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.
Strategy and Capital Resources
Our business strategy is to provide financing for projects, trade and investment in the shareholder countries. Management expects our assets to grow in the future, which will increase our need for additional funding. Likewise, maturing debt obligations will need to be replaced. In addition to scheduled capital increases, management anticipates a need to increase funds raised in the international capital markets and to maintain funding through borrowings from multilateral and other financial institutions. While the substantial majority of our equity will continue to be held by full member shareholder countries, we intend to continue offering equity participation to associated shareholder countries through the issuances of Series “C” shares. See “Capital Structure.”
We intend to continue our programs to foster sustainable growth within the shareholder countries, and to increase our support for the private sector within their markets, either directly or through financial institutions. See “Operations of CAF.”

Table of Contents
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 Corporate Vice President:
• | Country Programs, which is responsible for our relationships with governments, public sector corporations and financial institutions and for the development of a global approach to business activities in each of the shareholder countries; |
• | Infrastructure,which is responsible for the financing of public and private infrastructure projects and the analysis of public policies within the different development sectors; |
• | Productive and Financial Sectors,which is responsible for our relationships with public and private sector corporations and financial institutions; |
• | Social Development,which is responsible for financings and investments in social areas and in micro, small and medium size enterprises; and |
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.
23
Table of Contents
The staff of our financial management group works in close coordination with our client relationship managers. Our client relationship management group and financial management group are supported by the financial control and budget, human resources, information systems and legal departments.
Loan Portfolio
We extend medium-term and long-term loans to finance both public sector and private sector projects in the shareholder countries, either directly to a project or through a financial institution in a shareholder country that lends the funds to the appropriate project. To a lesser extent, we also provide loans to finance trade by and among the shareholder countries. Loans may be used for any component of a project, subject to exceptions relating to, among other things, the acquisition of land and the payment of taxes. We endeavor to concentrate our lending activities on national and multinational economic development projects, especially those involving electricity, gas and water supply, transport or communications in two or more shareholder countries and those that generate foreign exchange.
We provide credit lines to financial institutions in the shareholder countries. The purpose of these credit lines is to enable these institutions to finance projects that fall within our overall objectives, but that are not sufficiently large to justify 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 institution and also have recourse to the underlying borrowers. The financial institutions are responsible for repayment of their loans from us regardless of whether the underlying borrower repays the financial institution.
We endeavor to strengthen trade by and among shareholder countries and to assist companies in the shareholder countries to access world markets. Our trade-financing activities are complementary to those of the export credit agencies of shareholder countries because we finance qualifying import or export operations, whereas those agencies generally are limited to providing financing only for goods exported from the respective countries. Through trade-financing, we finance the movement of merchandise. We also provide credit support to trade activities through the confirmation of letters of credit in situations where the issuing local bank would not be perceived as sufficiently creditworthy by financial institutions in the beneficiary’s country.
In 1997, we began making a portion of our loans through an “A/B” loan program, where CAF acts as lender of record for the entire loan and sellsnon-recourse participations in the “B” portion of the loan to financial institutions. The “A” portion of the loan is made directly to the borrower by us. Under the “B” portion, financial institutions 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, 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.
At December 31, 2017, our total assets were $38.1 billion, of which $23.6 billion, or 62.0%, were disbursed and outstanding loans. At December 31, 2017, the “B” loan portion of our “A/B” loan transactions totaled
24
Table of Contents
$0.2 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. Our management expects further loan growth to be funded by additional borrowings and deposits, retained earnings and planned capital increases.

(2) | Loans outside the full member shareholder countries for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. |
As of December 31, 2017, the increase (decrease) of our loan portfolio by country compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 was as follows: Argentina, 13.0%; Bolivia, 12.3%; Brazil, 6.7%; Colombia, 7.6%; Ecuador, 3.6%; Panama, 2.6%; Paraguay, 24.2%; Peru, 0.2%; Uruguay, 11.6%; and Venezuela, (1.1)%. The growth of the loan portfolio reflects loan approvals as a result of higher demand from shareholder countries and our increased share of infrastructure financings in the region. Loans to associated shareholder countries holding Series “C” shares (as described under “Capital Structure — General”) totaled $1,038.3 million in 2017, compared to loans to associated shareholder countries holding Series “C” shares totaling $952.1 million and $822.1 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Management anticipates that our loan portfolio will continue to grow as a result of our strategy to expand our shareholder base, both by issuing shares to new shareholder countries and by additional capital subscriptions by existing shareholder countries, which may result in increased loan demand for projects in such countries.

Other Activities
Treasury Operations
Our investment policy requires that at least 90% of our liquid assets be held in the form of investment grade instruments ratedA-/A3/A- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. The remaining portion may be invested in unrated ornon-investment grade instruments ratedB-/Ba3/B- or better by a U.S. nationally-recognized statistical rating organization. At December 31, 2017, our liquid assets amounted to $12.7 billion of which 24.7% were invested in time deposits in financial institutions, 31.6% in commercial paper, 13.8% in corporate and financial institution bonds, 12.1% in certificates of deposit, 11.7% in U.S. Treasury Notes and 6.0% 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, 2017, the carrying value of our equity investments totaled $433.0 million, representing 3.9% of our shareholders’ equity. At December 31, 2017, 84.3% of our equity portfolio was held through investment funds.
Credit Guarantees
We have developed our credit guarantee product as part of our role of attracting international financing for our shareholder countries. As such, we may offer guarantees of private credit agreements or we may offer public guarantees of obligations of the securities of third party issuers. We generally offer only partial credit guarantees with the intention that private lenders or holders of securities share the risk along with us.
The emphasis of the credit guarantees is to aid in the financing of public sector projects, though we do not have any internal policies limiting our credit guarantees to public sector projects. Also, although we generally intend to guarantee approximately 25% of the financing for a given project, we may guarantee up to the full amount of the financing, subject to our other credit policies. Our internal policies limit the aggregate outstanding amount of our credit guarantees to a maximum amount equivalent to 20% of our total equity. The amount of credit guarantees outstanding was $176.6 million at December 31, 2017. Those credit guarantees represent 1.6% of our total equity and include guarantees issued for a public sector project in Bolivia, a public sector project in Peru and for several private sector companies that are operating in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Spain.

Promotion of Regional Development
As part of our role in advancing regional integration, we evaluate on an ongoing basis new investment opportunities intended to benefit the shareholder countries. We also provide technical and financial assistance for the planning and implementation of binational and multinational projects, help obtain capital and technology for these projects, and assist companies in developing and implementing modernization, expansion and organizational development programs.
Fund Administration
In 2017, we acted as fund administrator for several funds funded by third parties and by our shareholders, the net assets of which totaled $408.3 million at December 31, 2017. CAF has no residual interest in the net assets of these funds.
Each year, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approves a maximum amount to be contributed to stockholders’ special funds during the fiscal year, which contributions are recognized as expenses.
In 2017, the Stockholders’ Assembly approved the contribution of up to a maximum amount of $92,064 to some Stockholders’ Special Funds. Management was authorized to contribute to Stockholders’ Special Funds during the fiscal year 2017 and to recognize these contributions as expenses. The amount approved by the Stockholders’ Assembly in 2016 was $72,000. In 2017 and 2016, such contributions to these funds were $92.06 million and $68.0 million, respectively, and expensed as previously described. In 2015, such contribution to these funds was $54.0 million and accounted for as distributions from net income of 2014. These funds are not part of CAF’s accounts.
At December 31, 2017, the principal funds were the Technical Cooperation Fund, the Human Development Fund, the Compensatory Financing Fund and the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprise.
Technical Cooperation Fund
At December 31, 2017, the Technical Cooperation Fund had a balance of $45.8 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance research and development studies that may lead to the identification of project investment opportunities and also, on occasion, to provide grants that are typically less than $100,000 each to facilitate the implementation of those projects.
Human Development Fund
At December 31, 2017, the Human Development Fund had a balance of $9.5 million. This fund is devoted to assisting projects intended to promote sustainable development in socially excluded communities, as well as to support micro-enterprises through the financing of intermediary institutions that offer direct loans to rural and urban micro-entrepreneurs.
Compensatory Financing Fund
At December 31, 2017, the Compensatory Financing Fund had a balance of $247.3 million. This fund was created to provide interest rate compensation of certain loans granted by us when a project providing social or developmental benefits is otherwise unable to sustain market interest rates. For more information, see Note 26 (“Special Funds and Other Funds Under Management”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.
Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises
At December 31, 2017, the Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises had a balance of $61.8 million. The purpose of this fund is to finance and, in general, support initiatives that aid the development of an entrepreneurial class in our shareholder countries.

Credit Policies
The Constitutive Agreement limits the total amount of disbursed and outstanding loans, guarantees and equity investments to 4.0 times stockholders’ equity. Our actual ratio on December 31, 2017 was 2.2 times stockholders’ equity.
We apply commercial banking standards for credit approvals and maintain policies and procedures regarding risk assessment and credit policy. Relationship managers perform an initial screening of each potential client and transaction to ensure that the proposed extension of credit falls within our policies. Proposed project loans are evaluated in accordance with our Operational Policies, which set out detailed eligibility and evaluation guidelines. Loans to a private sector borrower are approved taking into consideration both the individual loan and the total exposure to the borrower.
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 of up to $25.0 million in the case of equity investments, (d) investments of up to 1% of total liquid assets of any issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 5% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 7% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (iii) the 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 (e) technical cooperation credits of 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 of up to $50.0 million for equity investments, (d) investments of up to 2.5% of the total liquid assets for any issuer (unless the issuer is: (i) at least investment grade, in which case the investment may be up to 10% of the issuer’s total liquid assets, or (ii) a government or governmental institution with an investment grade rating of at least AA+, in which case the investment may be up to 12% of the issuer’s total liquid assets), and (e) technical cooperation credits of up to $2.0 million. Loans and investments in excess of the aforementioned Executive Committee’s limits require the approval of our Board of Directors.
Our policies also impose limitations on loan concentration by country and by type of risk. Loans to entities in any one full member shareholder country may not exceed either 25% of our loan portfolio or 100% of our shareholders’ equity. Aggregate loans to entities in any associated shareholder country currently may not exceed eight times the total of such country’spaid-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’spaid-in capital contribution to us plus any assets entrusted to us under a fiduciary relationship may be committed to operations essentially national in character. The same limitation applies to our total loan portfolio in relation to our shareholders’ equity. Loans to a public sector or mixed-capital entity not considered a sovereign risk are limited in the aggregate to 15% of our shareholders’ equity. Additionally, the exposure to any individual private sector entity or to an economic group is limited to 2.35% and 3.5%, respectively, of our total loan portfolio.
Operations in which we extend credit to entities in Series “C” shareholder countries must generally be related to activities of such entities in, or related to, the full member shareholder countries. Notwithstanding the above, the aggregate total of outstanding loans in all such countries may not exceed 15% of CAF’s total loan portfolio.
Our policies permit us to provide up to 100% of the total project costs with respect to short-term loans. Formedium-and long-term loans, we determine the appropriate level of financing on acase-by-case basis; however, limited-recourse financing in such loans may not exceed 50% of project costs. In practice, however, we typically limit our loans to a smaller percentage of total project costs and generally require a larger percentage of financial support by the borrower than required by our credit policies.

Asset Quality
We classify a loan as overdue whenever payment is not made on its due date. We charge additional interest on the overdue payment from the due date and immediately suspend disbursements on all loans to the borrower and to any other borrowers of which the overdue borrower is a guarantor. The entire principal amount of a loan is placed innon-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 onnon-accruing loans are included in income only to the extent that payments have actually been received by us.
At December 31, 2017, there were $94.2 million of loans overdue and $138.7 million of loans innon-accrual status. At December 31, 2016, there were $7.5 million of loans overdue and $120.8 million of loans innon-accrual status. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were $11.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of overdue interest or other charges in respect ofnon-accrual status loans excluded from net income.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, there were $69.5 million of loan write-offs. We have not suffered any individually significant losses on our loan portfolio. Although our loans do not enjoy any legal preference over those of other creditors, we do enjoy a de facto preferred creditor status arising from our status as a multilateral financial institution and from the interest of our borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with us. Although some of our shareholder countries have restructured their sovereign debt obligations, CAF has never had to declare an event of default with respect to such countries’ 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 funds through bond issues in both the shareholder countries and the international capital markets. We also take deposits and obtain loans and credit lines from central banks, commercial banks and, to the extent of imports related to projects funded by us, export credit agencies.
Within the shareholder countries, we raise funds from central banks and financial institutions and by means of regional bond issues. Outside Latin America and the Caribbean, we obtain funding from public sector development and credit agencies, from development banks, from various North American, European and Asian commercial banks, from capital markets and from the U.S. and European commercial paper markets.

Our financial liabilities are primarily U.S. dollar-based: 56.4% of our total financial liabilities, or 99.4% of financial liabilities after swaps, were denominated in U.S. dollars at December 31, 2017. The principal amount ofnon-U.S. dollar financial liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2017 included 4,744.2 million Euros, 34,000.0 million Yen, 2,535.0 million Swiss Francs, 221,750.0 million Colombian Pesos, 5,877.0 million Hong Kong Dollars, 1,317.1 million Mexican Pesos, 24.6 million Peruvian Nuevos Soles, 4,200 million Norwegian Kroner, 349.0 million Turkish Lira, 843.0 million South African Rand and 1,140.0 million Australian Dollars; all of thesenon-U.S. dollar financial liabilities are swapped or otherwise hedged into U.S. dollars.
We have never had an event of default declared with respect to the payment of principal of, or premium or interest on, any debt security we have issued, and we have always met all of our debt obligations on a timely basis.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
We reduce our sensitivity to interest rate risk by extending our loans on a floating rather than a fixed interest rate basis. At December 31, 2017, 99.5% of our outstanding loans were based on LIBOR and subject to interest rate adjustments at least every six months. The liabilities that fund these loans are also contracted at, or swapped into, LIBOR floating interest rates. When we make loans at fixed interest rates, we also obtain the corresponding funding on a fixed interest rate basis.
We require that counterparties with which we enter into swap agreements be rated “A+/A1” or better by two U.S. nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or have signed a credit support agreement (resulting in the corresponding exchange of collateral), at the time of entering into the swap agreement. At December 31, 2017, we were party to swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $20.1 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, 2017, the weighted average life of our financial assets was 3.9 years and the weighted average life of our financial liabilities was 4.6 years. Based on our asset and liability structure at December 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 99.7% of our assets and 56.4% of our liabilities were denominated in U.S. dollars, with the remainder of our liabilities being denominated principally in Euro, Yen, Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar, Norwegian kroner, Turkish lire, South African rand and Swiss Francs, which liabilities were swapped. After swaps, 99.5% 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 samenon-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 fromnon-trading positions through the use ofon-balance sheet instruments. Our external asset managers use derivatives to hedge the interest and exchange rate risk exposures of ournon-U.S. dollar denominated investments. Our policy is that our total exposure on trade derivatives should not exceed 3% of liquid investments. See Note 19 (“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities”) to our audited financial statements in this prospectus.

We are governed and administered by the bodies and officials detailed below:
Shareholders’ General Meeting
The shareholders’ general meeting is the ultimate decision-making body within CAF. Shareholders’ general meetings can be ordinary or extraordinary and are governed by the requirement for the presence of a quorum and compliance with other conditions set out in the Constitutive Agreement.
Shareholders’ ordinary general meetings are held once a year, within 90 days of the close of the financial year, and are convened by the Executive President. The shareholders’ ordinary general meeting:
(1) considers the Board of Directors’ annual report and our financial statements, receives the independent auditors’ report and allocates our net income;
(2) constitutes special funds for particular purposes;
(3) elects the Board of Directors according to the Constitutive Agreement;
(4) appoints external auditors;
(5) determines compensation for the Board of Directors and the external auditors; and
(6) may consider any other matter expressly submitted to it which is not within the purview of any other body of CAF.
Shareholders’ extraordinary general meetings may be convened after a call has been made at the initiative of the Board of Directors, or the Executive President, or at least 40% of Series “A” shareholders or any shareholders representing at least 25% ofpaid-in capital. The shareholders’ extraordinary general meeting may:
(1) increase, reduce or replenish our capital in accordance with the Constitutive Agreement;
(2) dissolve CAF;
(3) change the headquarters of CAF when the Board of Directors so proposes; and
(4) consider any other matter that has been expressly submitted to it that is not within the purview of any other body of CAF.
Resolutions before shareholders’ ordinary general meetings are passed by the votes of at least 60% of Series “A” shareholders, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting. Resolutions passed at shareholders’ extraordinary general meetings (including a decision to dissolve CAF) require the votes of 80% of Series “A” shareholders, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting, except for resolutions concerning modifications to the structure of the Board of Directors in which case an affirmative vote of all Series “A” shareholders is required, together with a majority of the votes of the other shares represented at the meeting. In the event of adjournment for lack of a quorum, which consists of at least 80% of Series “A” shareholders and a simple majority of the other shareholders, at either an ordinary or extraordinary general meeting, two Series “A” shareholders, plus a majority of the other shares represented at the meeting, may deliberate and approve decisions at a reconvened meeting.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is composed of 19 directors, each of whom is elected for a term of three years and may bere-elected. Each of the Series “A” shareholders is represented by one director. Five directors represent
36

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.

(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

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities being offered and the extent to which such general provisions may apply will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.
The debt securities will be issued pursuant to a fiscal agency agreement, dated as of March 17, 1998, between CAF and The Bank of New York Mellon (as successor in interest to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as fiscal agent. The following statements briefly summarize some of the terms of the debt securities and the fiscal agency agreement (a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement). These statements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all provisions of the fiscal agency agreement and such debt securities.
General
The debt securities will constitute our direct, unconditional, unsecured and general obligations. The debt securities will rank equally with all of our other unsecured Indebtedness. “Indebtedness” means all of our indebtedness in respect of monies borrowed by us and guarantees given by us for monies borrowed by others.
The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of the debt securities, as applicable:
(1) | the title; |
(2) | the price or prices at which we will issue the debt securities; |
(3) | any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the series of which they are a part; |
(4) | the currency or currency units for which the debt securities may be purchased and in which payments of principal and interest will be made; |
(5) | the date or dates on which principal and interest will be payable; |
(6) | the rate or rates at which any of the debt securities will bear interest, the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, and the record dates and interest payment dates; |
(7) | the place or places where principal and interest payments will be made; |
(8) | the time and price limitations on redemption of the debt securities; |
(9) | our obligation, if any, to redeem or purchase the debt securities at the option of the holder; |
(10) | the denominations in which any of the debt securities will be issuable, if other than denominations of $1,000; |
(11) | if the amount of principal or interest on any of the debt securities is determinable according to an index or a formula, the manner in which such amounts will be determined; |
(12) | whether and under what circumstances we will issue the debt securities as global debt securities; and |
(13) | any other specific terms of the debt securities. |
Certain debt securities will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as original issue discount notes (“Discount Notes”) if the excess of the debt security’s “stated redemption price at maturity” over its issue price is more than a “de minimis amount” (as defined for United States federal income tax purposes). If applicable, the prospectus supplement will describe the United States federal income tax consequences of the ownership of Discount Notes and any special rules regarding debt securities.

Table of Contents
Denominations, Registration and Transfer
The debt securities of each series will be issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, and, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, only in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the fiscal agency agreement and the limitations applicable to global debt securities, debt securities of each series will be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series of any authorized denomination and of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
Debt securities may be presented for exchange and for registration of transfer in the manner, at the places and subject to the restrictions set forth in the debt securities and as summarized in the prospectus supplement. Such services will be provided without charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith, but subject to the limitations provided in the terms of the debt securities.
If any definitive notes are issued and at that time the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, we will appoint a transfer agent in Luxembourg, which we anticipate being the same entity that serves as our Luxembourg paying agent. In such circumstances, transfers or exchanges of any definitive notes may be made at the office of our Luxembourg transfer agent (in addition to the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent).
Global Debt Securities
Some or all of the debt securities of any series may be represented, in whole or in part, by one or more global debt securities that will have an aggregate principal amount equal to that of the debt securities they represent. If applicable, each global debt security will be:
(1) | registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement; |
(2) | deposited with the depositary or nominee or the depositary’s custodian; and |
(3) | printed with a legend regarding the restrictions on exchanges and registration of transfer of the security, and any other matters required by the fiscal agency agreement and the terms of the debt securities and summarized in the prospectus supplement. |
Payment and Paying Agent
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will make payments of principal and interest on debt securities:
(1) | through the fiscal agent; |
(2) | to the person in whose name the debt securities are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the payments; and |
(3) | at the office of the paying agent or agents designated by us;unless |
• | at our option, payment is mailed to the registered holder, or |
• | at the request of a registered holder of more than $1,000,000 principal amount of the securities, payment is made by wire transfer. |
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, our sole paying agent for payments on the debt securities will be the corporate trust office of the fiscal agent in The City of New York.
Any monies we pay to our fiscal agent or any paying agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us by such agent. Upon such repayment, all liability of our fiscal agent or any paying agent with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease, without, however, limiting in any way our unconditional obligation to pay principal of or any interest on the debt securities when due.
42
Table of Contents
Negative Pledge
As long as any of the debt securities are outstanding and unpaid, but only up to the time amounts sufficient for payment of all principal and interest have been placed at the disposal of the fiscal agent, we will not cause or permit to be created on any of our property or assets any mortgage, pledge or other lien or charge as security for any bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness heretofore or hereafter issued, assumed or guaranteed by us for money borrowed (other than purchase money mortgages, pledges or liens on property purchased by us as security for all or part of the purchase price thereof), unless the debt securities are secured by such mortgage, pledge or other lien or charge equally and ratably with such other bonds, notes or evidences of indebtedness.
Default; Acceleration of Maturity
Each of the following will constitute an “event of default” with respect to the debt securities of any series:
(1) | a failure to pay any principal of or interest on any debt securities of that series when due and the continuance of the failure for 30 days; |
(2) | a failure to perform or observe any material obligation under or in respect of any debt securities of that series or the fiscal agency agreement and the continuance of the failure for a period of 90 days after written notice of the failure has been delivered to CAF and to the fiscal agent by the holder of any debt security of that series; |
(3) | a failure to pay any amount in excess of $20,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) of principal or interest or premium in respect of any indebtedness incurred, assumed or guaranteed by CAF as and when such amount becomes due and payable and the continuance of the failure until the expiration of any applicable grace period or 30 days, whichever is longer; or |
(4) | the acceleration of any indebtedness incurred or assumed by CAF with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $20,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) by any holder or holders thereof. |
If an event of default occurs with respect to the debt securities of any series at the time outstanding, each holder of any debt security of that series may, by written notice to CAF and the fiscal agent, declare the principal of and any accrued interest on all the debt securities of that series held by it to be, and the principal and accrued interest shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, unless prior to receipt of the notice by CAF all events of default in respect of such series of debt securities are cured. If all the events of default are cured following the declaration, the declaration may be rescinded by any such holder with respect to the previously accelerated series of debt securities upon delivery of written notice of the rescission to CAF and the fiscal agent.
Additional Payments by CAF
All amounts payable (whether in respect of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of the debt securities will be made free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any of the full member shareholder countries or any political subdivision thereof or any authority or agency therein or thereof having power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges is required by law. In that event, we will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts receivable by the holder of debt securities of any series after the withholding or deduction will equal the respective amounts that would have been receivable by the holder in the absence of the withholding or deduction,exceptthat 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 |
43
Table of Contents
(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; |
(3) | if such withholding or deduction may be avoided by a holder or beneficial owner of a debt security of any series complying with a request by us relating to any certification, identification or other reporting concerning its nationality, residence, identity or connection with any full member shareholder country; or |
(4) | if such withholding or deduction is imposed or required pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“the Code”), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with the implementation of such Sections of the Code. |
As used in this prospectus, the “Relevant Date” means, in respect of any payment, the date on which such payment first becomes due and payable, but if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been received by the fiscal agent on or prior to the due date, it means the first date on which, the full amount of the moneys having been so received and being available for payment to holders of debt securities of any series, notice to that effect will have been duly published as set forth below under “— Notices.”
Modification and Amendment
Each and every holder of the debt securities in a series must consent to any amendment of a provision of the debt securities or the fiscal agency agreement that would:
(1) | change the due date of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities; or |
(2) | reduce the principal amount, interest rate or amount payable upon acceleration of the due date of the debt securities of a series; or |
(3) | change the currency or place of payment of principal of or interest on the debt securities of a series; or |
(4) | reduce the proportion of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series that must be held by any of the holders to vote to amend or supplement the terms of the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities; or |
(5) | change our obligation to pay additional amounts. |
We may, however, with the written consent of the holders of 66 2/3% of the principal amount of the debt securities of a series, modify any of the other terms or provisions of the debt securities of that series or the fiscal agency agreement (as it applies to that series). Also, we and the fiscal agent may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of a series, modify any of the terms and conditions of the fiscal agency agreement and the debt securities of that series, for the purpose of:
(1) | adding to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of the debt securities; or |
(2) | surrendering any right or power conferred on CAF; or |
(3) | securing the debt securities of that series; or |
(4) | curing any ambiguity or correcting or supplementing any defective provision of the fiscal agency agreement or the debt securities; or |
(5) | for any purpose that CAF deems necessary or desirable that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities of that series in any material respect. |
Notices
All notices will be delivered in writing to each holder of the debt securities of any series. If at the time of such notice the debt securities of a series are represented by global debt securities, the notice shall be delivered to
44
Table of Contents
the applicable depositary for such securities and shall be deemed to have been given three business days after delivery to such depositary. If at the time of the notice the debt securities of a series are not represented by global debt securities, the notice shall be delivered to the registered holders of the debt securities of the series and in that case shall be deemed to have been given three business days after the mailing of the notice by first class mail.
Further Issues
We may from time to time without the consent of holders of the debt securities create and issue further debt securities so as to form a single series with an outstanding series of debt securities, provided that any new debt securities would be treated as fungible with the original debt securities for United States federal income tax purposes. If such additional notes are not fungible with the original debt securities for United States federal income tax purposes, the additional notes will be issued under a separate CUSIP number.
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity
The debt securities are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. We will accept the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in respect of any action arising out of or based on the debt securities that may be instituted by any holder of a debt security. We will appoint CT Corporation in The City of New York as our authorized agent upon which process in any such action may be served. We will irrevocably waive any immunity to which we might otherwise be entitled in any action arising out of or based on the debt securities brought in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. CT Corporation will not be an agent for service of process for actions brought under the United States securities laws, and our waiver of immunity will not extend to such actions.
45
Table of Contents
From time to time we may issue under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement guarantees for the benefit of holders of specified securities of third parties. The issuers of the underlying securities may or may not be affiliated with us. A holder of a primary security will also have the benefit of our guarantee related to the primary security.
The terms and conditions of any guarantee will vary with the terms and conditions of the underlying securities. A complete description of the terms and conditions of any guarantee issued pursuant to this prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement for the issue of the guarantees.
We may provide guarantees with respect to the certain obligations of an issuer under its securities, including without limitation:
• | payment of any accrued and unpaid distributions which are required to be paid under the terms of the securities; |
• | payment of the redemption price of the securities, including all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of the redemption; |
• | payment of any accrued and unpaid interest payments, or payment of any premium which are required to be made on the securities; and |
• | any obligation of the issuer pursuant to a warrant, option or other rights. |
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, guarantees issued under this prospectus will rank equally with all of our other unsecured general debt obligations, and will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

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 anon-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, |
• | a trader in securities that elects to use amark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings, |
• | a bank, |
• | a life insurance company, |
• | atax-exempt organization, |
• | a person that owns debt securities that are a hedge or that are hedged against interest rate risks, |
• | a person that owns debt securities as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes, |
• | 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 (or with original issue discount (“OID”) that is less than the applicable de minimis threshold) 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.
47
Table of Contents
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.
The debt securities may be issued with a de minimis amount of OID. While a United States holder is generally not required to include de minimis OID in income prior to the sale or maturity of the debt securities, under recently enacted legislation, United States holders that maintain certain types of financial statements and that are subject to the accrual method of tax accounting may be required to include de minimis OID on the debt securities in income no later than the time upon which they include such amounts in income on their financial statements. United States holders that maintain financial statements should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of this legislation.
Interest paid by us on the debt securities is income from sources outside the United States and will generally be “passive” income for purposes of the rules regarding the foreign tax credit allowable to a United States holder.
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 security equal to the difference between the amount you realize on the sale or retirement, excluding any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest (which will be treated as interest payments), and your tax basis in your debt security. 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. A United States holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, is subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the United States holder’s “net investment income” (or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust) for
48
Table of Contents
the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the United States holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A holder’s net investment income generally includes its interest income and its net gains from the disposition of 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, or are a corporation with a principal business of trading in stocks and securities for its own account. |
Purchase, Sale, Retirement and Other Disposition of the Debt Securities. If you are a United States alien holder of a debt security, you generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a debt security unless:
• | the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States or |
• | you are an individual, you are present in the United States for 183 or more days during the taxable year in which the gain is realized and certain other conditions exist. |
For purposes of the United States federal estate tax, the debt securities will be treated as situated outside the United States and will not be includible in the gross estate of a holder who is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States at the time of death.
Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets
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” may include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts

maintained by financial institutions: (i) stocks and securities issued bynon-United States persons, (ii) financial instruments and contracts that havenon-United States issuers or counterparties, and (iii) interests in foreign entities. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of this reporting requirement to their ownership of the debt securities.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding
Certainnon-United States financial institutions must comply with information reporting requirements or certification requirements in respect of their direct and indirect United States shareholders and/or United States accountholders to avoid becoming subject to withholding on certain payments. We and othernon-United States financial institutions may accordingly be required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regarding the holders of debt securities and to withhold on a portion of payments under the debt securities to certain holders that fail to comply with the relevant information reporting requirements (or hold debt securities directly or indirectly through certainnon-compliant intermediaries). However, such withholding would generally not apply to payments made before January 1, 2019. Moreover, such withholding would only apply to debt securities issued at least six months after the date on which final regulations implementing such rule are enacted. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors and any banks or brokers through which they will hold debt securities as to the consequences (if any) of these rules to them.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
If you are a noncorporate United States holder, information reporting requirements, on IRS Form 1099, generally would apply to payments of principal and interest on a debt security within the United States, and the payment of proceeds to you 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 fail to comply with applicable certification requirements or (in the case of interest payments) are notified by the IRS that you have failed to report all interest and dividends required to be shown on your federal income tax returns.
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 anothernon-United States payor. You are also generally exempt from backup withholding and information reporting requirements in respect of payments of principal and interest made within 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, as long as either (i) the payor or broker does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person and you have furnished a valid IRS FormW-8 or other documentation upon which the payor or broker may rely to treat the payments as made to anon-United States person, or (ii) you otherwise establish an exemption.
Payment of the proceeds from the sale of a debt security effected at a foreign office of a broker generally will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding. However, a sale effected at a foreign office of a broker could be subject to information reporting in the same manner as a sale within the United States (and in certain cases may be subject to backup withholding as well) if (i) the broker has certain connections to the United States, (ii) the proceeds or confirmation are sent to the United States or (iii) the sale has certain other specified connections with the United States.
You generally may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules that exceed your income tax liability by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Corporación Andina de Fomento (“CAF”)’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those in charge of governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stated of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
The Management of CAF is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Management has assessed the effectiveness of CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on that assessment, CAF’s Management concluded that CAF’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2017.
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements. Also, projections of any assessment of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
CAF’s financial statements as of December 31, 2017, have been audited by an independent accounting firm, which has also issued an independent auditors’ report on CAF´s internal control over financial reporting. The audit report, which is included in this document, expresses an unmodified opinion on CAF’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF)
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting ofCorporación Andina de Fomento (CAF) as of December 31, 2017, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Management’s Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting
CAF’s management is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the CAF’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
An audit of internal control over financial reporting involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about whether a material weakness exists. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks that a material weakness exists. An audit includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the assessed risk.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Definition and Inherent Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process effected by those charged with governance, management, and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and those charged with governance; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

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

CORPORACIÓN ANDINA DE FOMENTO (CAF)
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016
(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. | ORIGIN |
Business description –Corporación Andinade Fomento (CAF) began its operations on June 8, 1970, and was established under public international law which abides by the provisions set forth in its Constitutive Agreement. Series “A” and “B” stockholder countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. Series “C” stockholder countries are: Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, Portugal and Spain. In addition, there are 13 banks which are Series “B” stockholders. CAF is headquartered in Caracas and has offices in Asuncion, Bogota, Brasilia, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Panama City, La Paz, Lima, Madrid, Montevideo, Port of Spain and Quito.
CAF’s objective is to support sustainable development and economic integration within Latin America and the Caribbean by helping stockholder countries diversify their economies and become more competitive and responsive to social needs.
CAF offers financial and related services to the governments of its stockholder countries, as well as their public and private institutions, corporations and joint ventures. CAF’s principal activity is to provide short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities in stockholder countries. Furthermore, CAF manages and supervises third-party cooperation funds owned and sponsored by other countries and organizations, destined to finance programs agreed upon with donor countries and organizations which are in line with CAF policies and strategies.
CAF raises funds to finance its operations from sources both within and outside its stockholder countries.
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a. | Financial statement presentation –The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. |
b. | Use of estimates –The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, as well as the amounts reported as revenues and expenses during the corresponding reporting period. The most important estimates related to the preparation of CAF’s financial statements refer to estimating the allowance for loan losses and valuation and classification at fair values of financial instruments, among others. Management believes these estimates are adequate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
c. | Transactions denominated in other currencies –Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing in international markets on the dates of the transactions. Currency balances other than U.S. dollars are converted into U.S. dollars atyear-end exchange rates. Any foreign exchange gains or losses, including related hedge effects, are included in the statements of comprehensive income. |
d. | Cash and deposits with banks –Cash and deposits with banks comprised of cash, due from banks and short-term deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less. |
e. | Marketable securities –CAF classifies its investments, according to management intention, as trading marketable securities, which are recorded on the trade date. Trading marketable securities are mainly |
F-11
Table of Contents
bought and held with the purpose of selling them in the short term. Trading marketable securities are recorded at fair value. Gains and losses from sales of trading marketable securities and changes in the fair value of trading marketable securities are included in interest income of investments and deposits with banks in the statements of comprehensive income. |
f. | Loans –CAF grants short, medium and long-term loans to finance projects, working capital, trade activities and to undertake feasibility studies for investment opportunities, both to public and private entities, for development and integration programs and projects in stockholder countries. |
For credit risk purposes, CAF classifies its loan portfolio into sovereign andnon-sovereign.
Sovereign loans –Include loans granted to national, regional or local governments or decentralized institutions and other loans fully guaranteed by national governments.
Non-sovereign loans –Include loans granted to corporate and financial sectors (public and private sectors), among others, which are not guaranteed by national governments.
Loans are carried at their outstanding principal balances less: (i) write-offs, (ii) the allowance for loan losses, and (iii) loan commission fees received upon origination net of certain direct origination costs. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan commission fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method and are presented as interest income—loan commissions in the statements of comprehensive income.
The accrual for interest on loans is discontinued at the time a private sector loans is 90 days (180 days for public sector loans) delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection.
Interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed onnon-accrual status is reversed against interest income. The interest onnon-accrual loans is accounted for on a cash-basis, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Non-accrual loans are considered impaired loans. Factors considered by management in determining impaired loans are payments status and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.
Loan losses, partial or total, are written off against the allowance for loan losses when management confirms the uncollectibility of a loan balance. Subsequent recoveries on written off loans, if any, will be credited to the allowance for loan losses.
CAF maintains risk exposure policies to avoid concentrating its loan portfolio in any one country or economic group, which might be affected by market situations or other circumstances. For this reason, CAF uses certain measurement parameters, such as: CAF’s stockholders’ equity, total loan portfolio, exposure to economic groups from public and private sectors, among others. CAF reviews, on a semi-annual basis, the credit risk rating of its loans and classifies the risk into the following categories:
Satisfactory-excellent –Extremely strong capacity to meet financial commitments.
Satisfactory-very good –Strong capacity to meet financial commitments, not significantly vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.
Satisfactory-adequate –Adequate capacity to meet financial commitments, but more vulnerable to adverse economic conditions.
Watch –Acceptable payment capacity however some indicators and elements require special attention otherwise they could result in impairment.
Special mention –More vulnerable to adverse economic conditions but currently has the capacity to meet financial commitments.
F-12
Table of Contents
Sub-standard –Currently vulnerable and dependent on favorable economic conditions to meet financial commitments.
Doubtful –Currently highly vulnerable.
Loss –Payment default on financial commitments.
g. | Troubled debt restructuring –A restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring if the creditor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. |
The concession granted by CAF may include the modifications or renegotiation to the contractual terms of the loans such as interest rate reductions, restatement of future cash flows, extension of loan terms, and other modifications in order to minimize possible economic losses.
Loans whose terms are modified in a troubled debt restructuring, generally, already will have been identified as impaired. CAF’s management individually evaluates the compliance to the new terms of the restructured loan for a reasonable period to calculate specific allowances for loan losses and if the remaining balance of the restructured loan is considered collectible, the restructured loan could return to accrual status.
h. | Allowance for loan losses –The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level CAF believes to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the date of the financial statements. |
For purposes of determining the allowance for loan losses, CAF management classifies its portfolio for credit risk purposes into sovereign andnon-sovereign. The allowance for loan losses is estimated considering the credit risk exposure, default probability and loss given default, based on external data provided by risk rating agencies, recognizing such effects in profit or loss for the period.
The allowance for loan losses on sovereign loans is collectively evaluated and established by CAF based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating applicable to the borrower countries, which is determined using the average rating of three recognized international risk rating agencies at the date of each of the balance sheet presented. The long-term foreign currency debt rating considers a default probability. Given CAF’s status as a de facto preferred creditor arising from its status as a multilateral financial institution and from the interest of its borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with CAF, and taking into account the immunities and privileges conferred by its stockholder countries, which are established in CAF’s Constitutive Agreement and other similar agreements, a factor reflecting a lower default probability – usually equivalent to three levels above its risk rating – is used.
For thenon-sovereign loans, the allowance for loan losses is individually evaluated and calculated by considering CAF’s internal rating of each borrower, using the probability of default corresponding to the average of the equivalent categories of the international risk-rating agencies.
For those cases where the category equivalent to the rating of a given borrower determined in accordance with any of the international risk-rating agencies is higher than the risk rating in local currency of the country corresponding to such borrower, or if for any reason there is no risk rating, the risk rating in local currency of such country determined by international risk-rating agencies will be used.
A specific allowance for loan losses is individually evaluated and established by CAF for impaired loans. A loan is considered as impaired when, based on currently available information and events, it is probable that CAF will not recover the total amount of principal and interest as agreed in the terms of the original loan contract. The 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. The allowance for loan losses is reported as a deduction from loans.

Table of Contents
i. | Equity investments –CAF invests in equity securities of companies and funds in strategic sectors, with the objective of promoting the development of such companies and funds and their participation in the securities markets and to serve as a catalytic agent in attracting resources to stockholder 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 when CAF holds an ownership interest in the voting stock of an investee between 20% and 50%, the equity investments are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying amount of the equity investment is adjusted to reflect CAF’s proportionate share of earnings or losses, dividends received and certain transactions of the investee Company.
Investments representing less than 20% of the voting rights of the investee are recorded using the cost method, recognizing any dividends received as income.
A decline in the value of any equity investment accounted at cost or equity method, which is not deemed to be temporary, results in a reduction in the carrying amount to fair value. These investments are evaluated, any impairment is charged to income and a new value for the investment is established.
The equity investments under cost method do not have available market price quotations and it is impracticable to determine the fair value of these investments without incurring excessive cost.
j. | Property and equipment, net –Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repair expenses are charged directly to the statements of comprehensive income for the year as incurred, while improvements and renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, and charged to the statements of comprehensive income over the estimated useful life of assets. |
The estimated useful life for assets is as follows:
Buildings | 30 years | |
Building improvements | 15 years | |
Leasing building improvements | Term of leasing contract | |
Furniture and equipment | 2 to 10 years | |
Vehicles | 5 years |
k. | Other assets –Other assets mainly include collateral, intangible assets and receivable from investment securities sold (Note 2e). |
Collateral –CAF receives or posts collateral from or to individual swap and futures counterparties in the form of cash to mitigate its credit exposure to these counterparties. It is the policy of CAF to restrict and invest collateral received from swap and futures counterparties for fulfilling its obligations under the collateral agreement. CAF records cash collateral received in other assets with a corresponding obligation to return the cash collateral received in accrued expenses and other liabilities. Cash collateral posted to swap and futures counterparties, under the collateral agreement, are recorded in other assets.
Intangible assets –Include software investmentswhich are reported at cost less accumulated amortization. The amortization is calculated 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. | Impairment –A financial asset is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized only if there are circumstances that indicate impairment as a result of one or more events (“loss events”) that have occurred after recognition of the financial asset. |
m. | Deposits and commercial paper –Deposits and commercial paper are recorded at amortized cost. |
n. | Borrowings –The borrowings account includes those obligations to local or foreign financial institutionsand commercial banks, which are recorded at amortized cost, except for some borrowings |
F-14
Table of Contents
that are designated as fair value hedge or as an economic hedge. Theup-front costs and fees related to the issuance of borrowings recorded at amortized cost are deferred and reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of borrowings and amortized during the term of the borrowings as interest expense. |
o. | Bonds –Medium and long-term bond issuances, whose objective is to provide the financial resources required to finance CAF’s operations, are recorded as follows: |
• | Bonds denominated in currencies other than the US$ are recognized at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these bonds, as well as the related bond’sup-front costs and fees, are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income when they occur. CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps to economically hedge the interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with these bonds. |
• | The interest rate risk on US$ denominated bonds is hedged using interest rate swaps, and such interest rate swaps are designated as part of fair value hedge accounting relationships assuming no hedge ineffectiveness (the “shortcut method”). The related bond’sup-front costs and fees are deferred and reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the bonds, and amortized during the term of the bonds as interest expense. |
Partial repurchases of bond issuances result in the derecognition of the corresponding liabilities. The difference between the repurchase price and the bond’s carrying amount is recognized as income/loss for the year.
p. | Employees’ severance benefits –Accrual for severance benefits comprises all the liabilities related to the workers’ vested rights according to CAF’s employee policies and the applicable labor law of the member countries. The accrual for employee severance benefits is presented as part of “labor benefits” account under “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” caption. |
Under CAF’s employee policies, employees earn a severance benefit equal to five days of salary per month, up to a total of 60 days per year of service. From the second year of service, employees earn an additional two day salary for each year of service (or fraction of a year greater than six months), cumulative up to a maximum of 30 days of salary per year. Severance benefits are recorded in the accounting records of CAF and interest on the amounts owed to employees are paid annually.
In the case of unjustified dismissal or involuntary termination, employees have the right to an additional severance benefit of one month of salary per year of service.
q. | Pension plan –In March 2005, CAF established a pension plan (the 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’s benefits are calculated based on years of service and the average salary of the three consecutive years in which the employee received the highest salary. CAF periodically updates the benefit obligations considering actuarial assumptions. |
r. | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities –CAF records all derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. For derivative contracts for which hedge accounting is intended to apply, CAF designates the derivative financial instrument as a fair value hedge on the date the derivative contract is entered into. 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 derivative financial instruments that are designated as fair value hedge to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, or to specific firm commitments. CAF’s policy is not to enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. CAF also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values of the hedged items. |
Changes in the fair value of highly effective derivative financial instruments considered to be hedges from an accounting perspective (fair value hedge) are recognized in the balance sheet. The ineffective
F-15
Table of Contents
portion of the change in fair value for a hedged derivative is recognized in the statements of comprehensive income.
Certain derivative financial instruments, although considered to be an effective hedge from an economic perspective (economic hedge), have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. The changes in the fair value of such derivative financial instruments are recognized in the statements of comprehensive income, concurrently with the change in fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.
CAF discontinues hedge accounting prospectively upon determining that the derivative financial instrument is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; the derivative isde-designated as a hedging instrument, because it is unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or management determines that the designation of the derivative financial instrument as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative financial instrument no longer qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, CAF continues to carry the derivative financial instrument 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. In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, CAF continues to carry the derivative financial instrument at its fair value on the balance sheet, and recognizes any changes in its fair value in the statements of comprehensive income.
s. | Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements –An entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Inputs used to measure fair value may fall into one of three levels: |
Level 1 –Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 –Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3 – Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
t. | Guarantees –CAF provides guarantees on loans originated by third parties to support projects located within a stockholder 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 of sharing the risk with private lenders or holders of securities. CAF’s responsibility is limited to paying up to the amount of the guarantee upon default by the client. The guarantee fee income received is deferred and recognized over the period covered by the guarantee. |
u. | Provision for guarantees losses –Provision for guarantees is maintained at a level CAF believes adequate to absorb probable losses inherent to the guaranteed loans originated by third parties as of the date of the financial statements. Guaranteed loans are classified as either sovereign ornon-sovereign. Provision for guarantees is estimated by CAF considering the credit risk exposure, default probability |
F-16
Table of Contents
and loss given default. Provision for sovereign guarantees losses is based on the individual long-term foreign currency debt rating of the guarantor countries (“country risk rating”) considering the weighted average rating of three recognized international risk rating agencies at the date of the financial statements preparation. These country risk ratings have associated default probability. Given CAF’s status as a de facto preferred creditor, arising from its status as a multilateral financial institution and from the interest of its borrowers in maintaining their credit standing with CAF, and taking into account the immunities and privileges conferred by its stockholder countries, which are established in CAF’s Constitutive Agreement and other similar agreements, a factor that reflects a lower default probability – usually equivalent to three levels up in this weighted average rating is used. Fornon-sovereign guarantees, the provision is determined by considering the CAF internal rating of each client and the weighted average rating of the aforementioned agencies. |
The provision for guarantees, are reported as other liabilities.
v. | Recent accounting pronouncements applicable – |
ASU2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this ASU defer the effective date of ASU2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities, certainnot-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in ASU2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. All other entities should apply the guidance in ASU2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2018. CAF is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU.
During 2016, the following complementary updates related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) were issued:
• | ASU2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). |
• | ASU2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. |
• | ASU2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. |
• | ASU2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements. |
The modifications of these updates issued during 2016, which affect the Accounting Standards Update Guide N°2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update2014-09). Accounting Standards Update2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update2014-09 by one year.
ASU2016-01, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-01, Financial Instruments—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to
F-17
Table of Contents
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2018. CAF is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU.
ASU2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-13. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. The ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current guidance and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2020.
ASU2016-18, Restricted Cash – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-18, Restricted Cash – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling thebeginning-of-period andend-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2018. CAF is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU.
ASU2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures
In January 2017, the FASB issued the ASU2017-03 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections and Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. This ASU applies to the following updates:
• | ASU N°2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. |
• | ASU N°2016-02 “Leases”. |
• | ASU N°2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Losses of Credit / Measurement of Credit Losses in Financial Instruments”. |
It is established that a registrant must evaluate the ASU that have not yet been adopted to determine the adequate disclosure in the financial statements about the possible material effects that these ASU will have on the financial statements, when they are adopted. If a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the expected impact of the adoption of the aforementioned ASU in the financial statements, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, it should consider including additional qualitative disclosures in the financial statements for help the reader to evaluate the importance of the impact that the rule will have on the financial statements of the registrant when it is adopted.
The additional qualitative disclosures include a description of the effect of the accounting policies that the registrant expects to apply, if determined, and a comparison with the registrant’s current accounting policies. In addition, the registrant must describe the status of their adoption process to the new standards and important implementation issues that have not yet been addressed. This ASU is applicable as of its publication, January 23, 2017.
ASU2017-07, Compensation—Retirement Benefits
In March 2017, the FASB issued the ASU2017-07 Compensation—Retirement Benefits. The amendments in this Update require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line
F-18
Table of Contents
item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2018. CAF is currently evaluating the effects of adopting this ASU.
ASU2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs / Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.
In March 2017, the FASB issued the ASU2017-08 Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs / Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in this update shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2019.
ASU2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging / Targeted Improvements to Accounting for
Hedging Activities.
In August 2017, the FASB issued the ASU2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging / Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this Update more closely align the results of cash flow and fair value hedge accounting with risk management activities through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The amendments address specific limitations in current GAAP by expanding hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and by refining the measurement of hedge results to better reflect an entity’s hedging strategies. Thus, the amendments will enable an entity to report more faithfully the economic results of hedging activities for certain fair value and cash flow hedges and will avoid mismatches in earnings by allowing for greater precision when measuring changes in fair value of the hedged item for certain fair value hedges. This ASU will be effective for CAF in 2019.

CAF maintains an internal risk rating system to evaluate the quality of the non-sovereign guaranteed loan portfolio, which identifies, through a standardized rating and review parameters, those risks related to credit transactions. The sovereign guaranteed loan portfolio is classified by CAF as satisfactory — very good. For purpose of determining the allowance for loan losses, rating assigned by external agencies are used (Note 2h).
The credit quality of the non-sovereign guaranteed loan portfolio at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 is presented by internal risk rating classification, as follows:

General Reserve
CAF maintains a general reserve approved by the Stockholders’ Assembly, which is considered an equity reserve. Stockholders approved the increase in the general reserve by US$ 110,218, US$ 69,830 and US$ 123,874, during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, through appropriations from net income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Reserve Pursuant to Article N° 42 of the Constitutive Agreement
CAF’s Constitutive Agreement requires that at least 10% of annual net income is to be appropriated to a reserve fund until that reserve fund amounts to 50% of the subscribed capital, which is considered an equity reserve. Additional appropriation may be approved by the stockholders. At the Stockholders’ Assembly held in March 2017, 2016 and 2015, it authorized an increase in the reserve fund for US$ 12,500, US$ 7,800 and US$ 13,765, respectively, through an appropriation from net income for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

18. | TAX EXEMPTIONS |
In all Full Member Shareholder Countries, 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 taxes.
19. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency risk is managed by swapping marketable securities - trading, loans, borrowings and bonds, subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in other currency into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF enters into derivative financial 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. Derivative contracts held by CAF consist of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings with fixed interest rates and denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps as an economic hedge (derivative that is entered into to manage a risk but is not accounted as a hedge) for interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with bonds, borrowings or loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar where CAF’s management elected to measure those liabilities and assets at fair value under the fair value option guidance.

Table of Contents
When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty owes CAF, creating credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not have credit risk. CAF minimizes the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.
In order to reduce the credit risk in derivative financial instruments, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap contracts are regularly marked-to-market, and the party being the net obligor is required to post collateral when net mark to-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds. This collateral is in the form of cash.
CAF does not offset for each counterparty, the fair value amount recognized for derivative financial instruments with the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty. CAF reports separately the cumulative gross amounts for the receivable from and payable to for derivative financial instruments.
CAF also utilizes futures derivatives instruments to reduce exposure to price risk. These are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. Initial margin requirements are met with cash or securities. CAF generally closes out open positions prior to maturity. Therefore, cash receipts or payments are limited to the change in fair value of the future contracts. Additionally, CAF utilizes forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk.
The balance sheet details related to CAF’s derivative financial instruments are as follows:

CAF enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting arrangements with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. These legally enforceable master netting arrangements give CAF the right to take cash or liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty, in the event of default by the counterparty. The following tables present information about the effect of offsetting of derivative financial instruments, although CAF has elected not to offset any derivative financial instruments by counterparty in the balance sheet:

20. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each financial instrument is classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation methodologies and the key inputs to those models.
When available, CAF generally uses quoted prices in active markets to determine fair value.
If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc.
Where available, CAF may also make use of quoted prices in active markets for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the financial instrument being valued. The frequency and size of trading activity and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed quoted prices from those markets.
F-39
Table of Contents
The following valuation methodologies are used to estimate the fair value and determine the classification in the fair value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:
• | Marketable securities: CAF uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities. These securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans, is determined using a discounted cash flow technique using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. These loans are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Derivative assets and liabilities:Derivative financial instruments transactions contracted anddesignated by CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both, for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases the fair value is calculated using market prices provided by an independent financial information services company, which are determined based on discounted cash flows using observable inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Bonds and borrowings: For CAF’s bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration benchmark interest yield curves at the end of the reporting period to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting market fluctuation of key variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Bonds and borrowings are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodologies technique. |
During 2017, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments not accounted for at fair value:
• | Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, interest and commissions receivable, other investment, deposits, commercial paper, accrued interest payable, derivate related collateral, receivable from investment securities sold and payable for investment securities purchased: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
• | Loans:CAF is one of the few institutions that grant loans for development projects in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by CAF. As rates on variable rate loans are reset on a semiannual basis, the carrying value, adjusted for credit risk, was determined to be the best estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined by using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated on the basis of discounted cash flows. |
• | Equity investments: CAF’s equity investments in other entities accounted for a cost of US$397,357, US$348,179 and US$285,042 at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, do not have available market price quotations and it is impracticable to determine the fair value of these investments without incurring excessive cost. |
• | Bonds and borrowings: For CAF’s bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration yield curves to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting the fluctuation of variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Those transactions are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodologies. |
During 2017, 2016 and 2015, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

21. | FAIR VALUE OPTION |
CAF’s management elected to measure at fair value those financial assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than US dollars for which it has contracted derivatives as an economic hedge to mitigate exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.
The results recorded in the statements of comprehensive income resulting from the periodic cash flows and unrealized changes in fair value at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 for instruments for which the fair value option was elected, and for derivatives used as economic hedges for these instruments, are as follows:

Guarantees | 176,642 | 185,435 | 261,650 | |||||||||
Letters of credit | 3,754 | 12,050 | 4,849 |
These commitments and contingencies arose from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.
In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend loans; such loan commitments are reported in the above table upon signing the corresponding loan agreement and are reported as loans in the balance sheets when disbursements are made. Loan commitments that have fulfilled the necessary requirements for disbursement are classified as eligible.
The commitments to extend loans have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without a loan being disbursed. Also, based on experience, portions of the loan commitments are disbursed on average two years after the signing of the loan agreement. Therefore, the amounts of total commitment to extend loans do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The lines of credit are extended to financial and corporate institutions as a facility to grant short term loans basically to finance working capital and international trade activities.

24. | SPECIAL FUNDS AND OTHER FUNDS UNDER MANAGEMENT |
CAF, as a multilateral financial institution, acts as administrator of several funds owned by third-parties and CAF’s stockholders’ special funds, created to promote technical and financial cooperation, sustainable human development, and management of poverty relief funds in stockholder countries.
The stockholders’ special funds contribute to regional integration and sustainable development through capacity building, increased domestic and international exchanges, generation and use of knowledge, as well as training human resources and fortifying institutions. The stockholders’ special funds are governed by the provisions of the Constitutive Agreement and any other provisions that may be established by the Board of Directors.
The Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approves a maximum amount to be contributed to stockholders’ special funds during the fiscal year and to recognize these contributions as expenses. The Executive President by delegation of the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF may authorize, up to the maximum approved amount, the amounts that will be contributed during the current period, based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders’ special funds.
The resources of the stockholders’ special funds, that come from a contribution by CAF, are completely independent from the resources of CAF and are thus so maintained, accounted for, presented, utilized, invested, committed and otherwise disposed of. With regard to the use of the stockholders’ special funds, the financial responsibility of CAF, as administrator, is limited to the net assets of each of the constituted stockholders’ special funds. CAF has no residual interest in the net assets of the stockholders’ special funds.
In March 2017, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 92,064 to some stockholders’ special funds for the year ended December 31, 2017. Subsequently, during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Executive President directly or by delegation, based on the
F-46

analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders’ special funds, authorized the contributions of US$ 68,000, US$ 22,064 and US$ 2,000 to Compensatory Financing Fund (FFC), Technical Cooperation Fund (FCT), and Human Development Fund (FONDESHU), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2017, CAF recognized US$ 92,064 as an expense and, at December 31, 2017 recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 36,967 which was paid in January 2018.
In March 2016, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 72,000 to some stockholders’ special funds for the year ended December 31, 2016. Subsequently, the Executive President directly or by delegation based on the analysis of the new commitments contracted or the resources required by the stockholders’ special funds authorized the contributions of US$ 36,000, US$ 20,000, US$ 10,000 and US$ 2,000 to FFC, FCT, FONDESHU, Fund for the Development of Small and Medium Enterprise (FIDE), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, CAF recognized US$ 68,000 as an expense and at December 31, 2016 recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 22,500 which was paid in January 2017.
In March 2015, the Stockholders’ Assembly of CAF approved the contribution up to a maximum amount of US$ 72,000 to some stockholders’ special funds for the year ended December 31, 2015. Subsequently, the Executive President directly or by delegation authorized the disbursement of US$ 32,000, US$ 20,000 and US$ 2,000 to FFC, FCT and FONDESHU, respectively. As of December 31, 2015, CAF recognized US$ 54,000 as an expense and recognized an unconditional obligation (accounts payable) for US$ 16,000, which were paid in 2016.
At December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, managed funds net assets are US$408,258, US$418,536 and US$455,209, respectively. The balances of these funds are as follows:

25. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
Management has determined that CAF has only one operating and reportable segment since it does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of individual operations. CAF does not differentiate on the basis of the nature of the products or services provided the preparation process, or the method for providing services among individual countries.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017
and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. | ORIGIN |

Series “A” and “B” stockholder countries are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela.

2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Financial statement presentation – The unaudited condensed interim financial information as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, such condensed interim financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily an indication of the results to be expected for the full year 2018.
For a detailed discussion about CAF’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 2 of the audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, there were no significant updates to CAF’s significant accounting policies.
This condensed interim financial information should be read in conjunction with CAF’s audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and the notes thereto.
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those
S-6
Table of Contents
accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. In addition, the amendments in this ASU eliminate the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities and the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet for public business entities. This ASU was adopted prospectively by CAF on January 1, 2018, and such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
Accounting policy change
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, CAF prospectively adopted the policy of subsequent measurement for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair value, as follows:
a.) direct investments in equity securities of companies, previously accounted for at cost, without a readily determinable fair value, and that do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value, are accounted for its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investments of the same issuer.
b.) for equity investments in funds without readily determinable fair value, previously accounted for at cost, CAF has applied the net asset value practical expedient to estimate fair value.

13. | TAX EXEMPTIONS |
In all Full Member Shareholder Countries, 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 taxes.
14. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES |
CAF utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. CAF does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The market risk associated with interest rate and foreign currency risk is managed by swapping marketable securities - trading, loans, borrowings and bonds, subject to fixed interest rates and denominated in other currency into floating interest rate instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. CAF enters into derivative financial 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. Derivative financial instruments held by CAF consist of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges of specifically identified loans, bonds or borrowings with fixed interest rates and denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, CAF enters into cross-currency and interest rate swaps as an economic hedge (derivative that is entered into to
S-14
Table of Contents
manage a risk but is not accounted as a hedge) for interest rate and foreign exchange risks related with bonds, borrowings or loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar where CAF’s management elected to measure those liabilities and assets at fair value under the fair value option guidance.
When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty owes CAF, creating credit risk for CAF. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, CAF owes the counterparty and, therefore, it does not have credit risk. CAF minimizes the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties whose credit rating is “A” or higher.
In order to reduce the credit risk in derivative financial instruments, CAF enters into credit support agreements with its major swap counterparties. This provides risk mitigation, as the swap contracts are regularly marked-to-market, and the party being the net obligor is required to post collateral when net mark to-market exposure exceeds certain predetermined thresholds. This collateral is in the form of cash.
CAF does not offset for each counterparty, the fair value amount recognized for derivative financial instruments with the fair value amount recognized for the collateral, whether posted or received, under master netting arrangements executed with the same counterparty. CAF reports separately the cumulative gross amounts for the receivable from and payable to for derivative financial instruments.
CAF also utilizes futures derivatives instruments to reduce exposure to price risk. There are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument at a specified price or yield. Initial margin requirements are met with cash or securities. CAF generally closes out open positions prior to maturity. Therefore, cash receipts or payments are limited to the change in fair value of the future contracts. Additionally, CAF utilizes forward contracts to reduce exposure to foreign currency risk.
The balance sheet details related to CAF’s derivative financial instruments are as follows:

CAF enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) master netting arrangements with substantially all of its derivative counterparties. These legally enforceable master netting arrangements give CAF the right to take cash or liquidate securities held as collateral and to offset receivables and payables with the same counterparty, in the event of default by the counterparty. The following tables present information about the effect of offsetting of derivative financial instruments, although CAF has elected not to offset any derivative financial instruments by counterparty in the balance sheet:

15. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by CAF to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each financial instrument is classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation methodologies and the key inputs to those methodologies.
When available, CAF generally uses quoted prices in active markets to determine fair value.
If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation methodologies that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market inputs, such as interest rates, currency rates, etc.
Where available, CAF may also make use of quoted prices in active markets for recent trading activity in positions with the same or similar characteristics to the financial instrument being valued. The frequency and size of trading activity and the amount of the bid-ask spread are among the factors considered in determining the liquidity of markets and the relevance of observed quoted prices from those markets.

Table of Contents
The following valuation methodologies are used to estimate the fair value and determine the classification in the fair value hierarchy of CAF’s financial instruments:
• | Marketable securities: CAF uses quoted prices in active markets to determine the fair value of trading securities. These securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Loans: The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined using a discounted cash flow technique using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. These loans are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Derivative assets and liabilities:Derivative financial instruments transactions contracted anddesignated by CAF as hedges of risks related to interest rates, currency rates or both, for transactions recorded as financial assets or liabilities are also presented at fair value. In those cases the fair value is calculated using market prices provided by an independent financial information services company, which are determined based on discounted cash flows using observable inputs. Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
• | Bonds and borrowings: For CAF´s bonds issued and medium and long term borrowings, fair value is determined by using a discounted cash flow technique, taking into consideration benchmark interest yield curves at the end of the reporting period to discount the expected cash flows for the applicable maturity, thus reflecting market fluctuation of key variables such as interest and exchange rates. These yield curves are adjusted to incorporate CAF credit risk spread. Bonds and borrowings are generally classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of significant inputs to the valuation methodologies technique. |
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, there were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3.

The following methodologies and input were used to estimate the fair value of those financial instruments, not accounted for at fair value:
• | Cash and due from banks, deposits with banks, interest and commissions receivable, other investment, deposits, commercial paper, accrued interest payable, derivate related collateral, receivable from investment securities sold and payable for investment securities purchased: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. |
• | Loans:CAF is one of the few institutions that grants loans for development projects in the stockholder countries. A secondary market does not exist for the type of loans granted by CAF. As rates on variable rate loans are reset on a semiannual basis, the carrying value, adjusted for credit risk, was determined to be the best estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed rate loans is determined by using the current variable interest rate for similar loans. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated on the basis of discounted cash flows. |
• | Equity investments: CAF’s elected a practically exception to fair value measurement on its direct investments in equity securities of companies without a readily determinable fair value under ASU 2016-01 and measured those investments at cost, less impairment plus or minus observable price changes of an identical or similar instrument of the same issuer. As of March 31, 2018, the carrying amount of those investments amounted to US$ 116,679, and the effects of impairment and the changes in observable prices are not material for the financial statements. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, investments in funds without a readily determinable fair value, for US$ 283,899, are accounted for at fair value applying the practical expedient, using the net asset value per share. |
CAF’s equity investments in other entities accounted for a cost of US$ 397,357 at December 31, 2017, do not have available market price quotations and it is impracticable to determine the fair value of these investments without incurring excessive cost.

16. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Commitments and contingencies include the following:
March 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Loan commitments subscribed — eligibles | 5,222,712 | 5,448,998 | ||||||
Lines of credit | 3,983,277 | 3,593,234 | ||||||
Loan commitments subscribed — non eligibles | 1,488,000 | 1,464,000 | ||||||
Equity investments agreements subscribed | 162,220 | 167,182 | ||||||
Guarantees | 171,076 | 176,642 | ||||||
Letters of credit | 2,764 | 3,754 |
These commitments and contingencies arose from the normal course of CAF’s business and are related principally to loans that have been approved or committed for disbursement.
In the ordinary course of business, CAF has entered into commitments to extend loans; such loan commitments are reported in the above table upon signing the corresponding loan agreement and are reported as loans in the balance sheets when disbursements are made. Loan commitments that have fulfilled the necessary requirements for disbursement are classified as eligible.
The commitments to extend loans have fixed expiration dates and in some cases expire without a loan being disbursed. Also, based on experience, portions of the loan commitments are disbursed on average two years after the signing of the loan agreement. Therefore, the amounts of total commitment to extend loans do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The lines of credit are extended to financial and corporate institutions as a facility to grant short-term loans basically to finance working capital and international trade activities.
Guarantees mature as follows:
March 31, 2018 | December 31, 2017 | |||||||
Less than one year | 11,826 | 17,391 | ||||||
Between one and two years | 15,000 | 15,000 | ||||||

17. | SEGMENT REPORTING |
Management has determined that CAF has only one operating and reportable segment since it does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of individual operations. CAF does not differentiate on the basis of the nature of the products or services provided, the preparation process, or the method for providing services among individual countries.
Loans made to or guaranteed by five countries individually generated in excess, of 10% interest income on loans, as follows:

18. | SUBSEQUENT EVENT |
Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 16, 2018, the date of issue of these condensed interim financial information. As a result of this evaluation, management has determined that there are no subsequent events that require a disclosure in these condensed interim financial information except for the issuance of bonds dated April 6, 2018 for US$ 100 million, Libor 3M + 0,30%, due 2021, under its Shelf Programme.
