Terms used herein shall be deemed to be defined as such for the purposes of the Terms and Conditions (the "Conditions") set forth in the Prospectus dated July 28, 2020 (the "Prospectus") (which for the avoidance of doubt does not constitute a prospectus for the purposes of Part VI of the United Kingdom ("UK") Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or a base prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129  (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation") or the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("EUWA")).  This Pricing Supplement must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.  This document is issued to give details of an issue by the Inter-American Development Bank (the "Bank") under its Global Debt Program and to provide information supplemental to the Prospectus.  Complete information in respect of the Bank and this offer of the Notes is only available on the basis of the combination of this Pricing Supplement and the Prospectus.

Terms and Conditions

The following items under this heading "Terms and Conditions" are the particular terms which relate to the issue the subject of this Pricing Supplement. Together with the applicable Conditions (as defined above), which are expressly incorporated hereto, these are the only terms that form part of the form of Notes for such issue.

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 net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be included in the ordinary capital resources of the Bank and, will not be committed or earmarked for lending to, or financing of, any specific loans, projects or programs.  The Bank, in partnership with its member countries, works to reduce poverty and inequalities in Latin America and the Caribbean by promoting economic and social development in a sustainable, climate friendly way.

            The Bank's strategic priorities include social inclusion and equality, productivity and innovation and economic integration along with three cross-cutting issues: gender equality and diversity, climate change and environmental sustainability, and institutional capacity and the rule of law.  Each strategic priority of the Bank aligns to at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs"), with all goals covered within the Bank's institutional strategy, which may be adapted from time to time should the United Nations SDGs definition evolve.

            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 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 Bank's Information Statement, which may be accessed as described under the heading "Availability of Information and Incorporation by Reference" in the Prospectus)."

3.         Additional Investment Considerations: 

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.

4.         United Stated 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.

In addition, it is possible that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be treated as issued with original issue discount ("OID") for United States federal income tax purposes because it is possible that an interest payment on the Notes could be deferred beyond one year due to the Business Day Convention. If so treated, then a United States holder that is otherwise subject to the cash basis method of accounting for tax purposes will be required to accrue the interest payments on the Notes in ordinary income. We intend to take the position that the Notes should not be treated as issued with OID for United States federal income tax purposes.
