General Information

Additional Information regarding the Notes

1.         Matters relating to UK MiFIR

The Bank does not fall under the scope of application of the UK MiFIR
regime.  Consequently, the Bank does not qualify as an "investment firm",
"manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of UK MiFIR.

UK MiFIR product governance / Professional investors and ECPs target market -
Solely for the purposes of the UK manufacturer's product approval process, the
target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion
that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties, as
defined in COBS, and professional clients, as defined in UK MiFIR; and (ii)
all channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor")
should take into consideration the UK manufacturer's target market assessment;
however, a distributor subject to the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the
Notes (by either adopting or refining the UK manufacturer's target market
assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

For the purposes of this provision, (i) the expression "UK manufacturer" means
the Dealer, (ii) the expression "COBS" means the FCA Handbook Conduct of
Business Sourcebook, (iii) the expression "UK MiFIR" means Regulation (EU) No
600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA and (iv)
the expression "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules" means the FCA Handbook
Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook.

2.         The language set out under the heading "Use of Proceeds" in
the Prospectus shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

            "The Bank's mission is to improve lives in Latin
America and the Caribbean countries by contributing to the acceleration of the
process of economic and social development and by supporting efforts to reduce
poverty and inequality in a sustainable, climate friendly way. All projects
undertaken by the Bank go through the Bank's rigorous sustainability
framework. The framework tracks measurable results, adherence to lending
targets and the effectiveness of its environmental and social safeguards.

            The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be
included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank, used in its ordinary
operations, and will not be committed or earmarked for lending to, or
financing of, any specific loans, projects, or programs.

            The Bank's administrative and operating expenses are
currently covered entirely by the Bank's various sources of revenue,
consisting primarily of net interest margin and investment income (as more
fully described in the Information Statement)."

3.         Additional Investment Considerations

a.   Considerations regarding Denomination

The Notes offered by this Pricing Supplement are complex financial instruments
and may not be suitable for certain investors. Investors intending to purchase
the Notes should consult with their tax and financial advisors to ensure that
the intended purchase meets the investment objective before making such
purchase.

There are various risks associated with the Notes including, but not limited
to, exchange rate risk, price risk and liquidity risk. Investors should
consult with their own financial, legal and accounting advisors about the
risks associated with an investment in these Notes, the appropriate tools to
analyze that investment, and the suitability of the investment in each
investor's particular circumstances.  Holders of the Notes should also
consult with their professional tax advisors regarding tax laws applicable to
them.

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

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

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

b.   Considerations regarding Use of Proceeds

Although the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be included in the
ordinary capital resources of the Bank, used in its ordinary operations, the
Notes may not satisfy an investor's requirements if the investor seeks to
invest in assets with certain sustainability characteristics. No assurance is
or can be given to investors that the use of proceeds will satisfy, whether in
whole or in part, any present or future investor expectations or requirements
regarding any investment criteria or guidelines applicable to any investor or
its investments. In addition, no assurance is or can be given to investors
that any projects undertaken by the Bank will meet any or all investor
expectations regarding "sustainable" or other equivalently-labelled
performance objectives or that any adverse environmental, social and/or other
impacts will not occur during the implementation by the borrower or any other
implementing entity of any projects. Furthermore, it should be noted that
there is currently no clearly-defined definition (legal, regulatory or
otherwise) of, nor market consensus as to what constitutes, a "sustainable" or
an equivalently-labelled project or as to what precise attributes are required
for a particular project to be defined as "sustainable" or such other
equivalent label and if developed in the future, Notes may not comply with any
such definition or label.

There can be no assurance that the net proceeds from the sale of any
particular tranche of Notes will be totally or partially disbursed for any
projects undertaken by the Bank within the term of such Notes. Not all
projects undertaken by the Bank will be completed within the specified period
or with the results or outcome as originally expected or anticipated by the
Bank and some planned projects might not be completed at all. Each potential
purchaser of the Notes should determine for itself the relevance of the
information contained in this Prospectus regarding the use of proceeds and its
purchase of the Notes should be based upon such investigation as it deems
necessary.

4.         United States Federal Income Tax Matters

 

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

 

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