MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
March 31, 2025
INTRODUCTION
The primary activities of the Inter-American Development Bank (Bank or IDB or IADB) are conducted through the Ordinary Capital and the IDB Grant Facility (GRF). Unless otherwise stated, all financial information provided in these Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements refers to the Banks Ordinary Capital. Management believes that the Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Ordinary Capitals financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The results of operations for the three months of the current year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
This document should be read in conjunction with the Banks Information Statement dated February 26, 2025, which includes the Ordinary Capital financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Bank undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT REPORTING
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported results. Management believes that some of the more significant estimates it uses to present the financial results in accordance with GAAP include: the valuation of certain financial instruments carried at fair value, the determination of the adequacy of the allowances for credit losses on developmental assets, and the determination of the benefit obligations of the pension and postretirement benefit plans, the fair value of plan assets, and net periodic benefit cost associated with these plans. These estimates involve a relatively high degree of judgment and complexity and relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.
Most of the Banks borrowings and all swaps, including interest rate and foreign currency, are measured at fair value through income. The reported income volatility resulting from these non-trading financial instruments is not fully representative of the underlying economics of the transactions as the Bank intends to hold them to maturity. Accordingly, the Bank excludes the impact of the fair value adjustments associated with these financial instruments from Operating Income(1). Therefore, Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions and Board of Governors approved transfers, if any, are reported separately in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
Recent market updates
In 2024, Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) economies expanded by 2.4% in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). Labor markets remained resilient, with relatively low unemployment rates, while both actual and expected inflation rates broadly converged to pre-pandemic levels. This reflects the easing of global inflationary pressures, including the stabilization of commodity prices.
Looking ahead, LAC economies are projected to grow by 2.0% in 2025, according to the April 2025 World Economic Outlook (WEO) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This marks a downward revision from the 2.5% forecast published in the January 2025 WEO, largely due to heightened uncertainty surrounding economic policy shifts in major advanced economies. Nonetheless, expected growth remains broadly in line with historical trends. In comparison, global growth is forecast to average 3.0% over the 20252027 period.

Managements Discussion and Analysis | 4 |
Central banks in advanced economies began easing monetary policy in the second half of 2024. Central banks across LAC initiated rate cuts earlier but moderated the pace of easing in 2024 amid renewed inflationary pressures. These pressures were driven by domestic factors such as fiscal uncertainty, strong economic activity in selected countries, and extreme weather events that elevated local food prices.
Geopolitical risks continue to pose a significant downside to the regional outlook. In particular, the evolution of global interest rates and ongoing disruptions to global value chains, exacerbated by persistent changes in trade relations, could dampen growth prospects and contribute to renewed price pressures.
The Bank remains the primary source of multilateral lending to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and is committed to supporting its clients during periods of global stress. Management expects Bank approvals during the biennial period 20252026 of approximately $32 billion, and disbursements of approximately $12 billion during 2025.
From a financial standpoint, Bank policies require Management to balance projected equity accumulation and growth of (risk-weighted) assets through a long-term financial planning process, which is run every year. The Bank has built capital buffers to absorb downward shocks stemming from rating downgrades and market volatility and it regularly assesses financial resiliency through stress testing. Capital and liquidity metrics remained within their respective policy thresholds.
Institutional Strategy
The IDBs new Institutional Strategy (IDBStrategy+) sets the strategic direction through 2030 and is aligned with global commitments under the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs). For further information, refer to the strategy page of the IDB website.
A new Impact Framework is used to monitor IDBStrategy+, setting new ambition and higher targets in a range of areas, with an enhanced focus on impact. The new Impact Framework helps to deliver tangible results for the people of Latin America and the Caribbean, from improved access to basic services and increased social protection, to enhanced resilience and expanded economic opportunities. It includes indicators that focus on concrete results for beneficiaries as well as new ways to measure progress in support for public-private synergies and resource mobilization. The Impact Framework also includes new targets, such as projects supporting digital transformation (25% of new approvals), projects targeting poor populations (50% of new approvals), and projects supporting sustainable economic growth (75% of new approvals).
Accounting Developments

Developmental Assets
Developmental assets include loans, guarantees, and debt securities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 approximately 97% of the outstanding developmental assets are sovereign-guaranteed (SG).
For 2025, the approved lending spread and credit commission for the Banks non-concessional sovereign-guaranteed loans is 0.80% and 0.50% (2024 - 0.80% and 0.50%, respectively). No supervision and inspection fees have been applied for the said periods.

Allowance for credit losses on developmental assets and guarantees outstanding: The allowance for credit losses on developmental assets and guarantees outstanding amounted to $851 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $834 million at December 31, 2024. The increase of $17 million was mainly in the allowance of the NSG portfolio, due to the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions during 2025; partially offset by a decrease in the allowance of the SG portfolio.
Table 4 presents the activity of the allowance for credits losses for the sovereign and non-sovereign-guaranteed portfolios as of March 31, 2025.

Allowance for loan commitments and guarantees of $29 million (December 31, 2024 - $31 million) is reported under Other liabilities in the Condensed balance sheet. |
Allowance for credit losses on individually assessed SG loans: As of March 31, 2025, the total amount of Venezuelas sovereign-guaranteed operations in payment arrears amounted to $1,915 million, including interest and fees, from which $1,769 million corresponds to arrearages of more than 180 days. Since 2018, all loans to Venezuela amounting to $2,011 million (unchanged from 2018), were placed in nonaccrual status. Interest and fee income not recognized amounted to $28 million during the first three months of 2025 (March 31, 2024 - $32 million), and the related individually assessed allowance for credit losses was $544 million as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $539 million). There were no other sovereign-guaranteed loans over 180 days past due, or in nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Under the IDBs guidelines on arrears, the Bank cannot undertake any lending activities in Venezuela until its arrears are cleared. As a matter of policy, the Bank does not renegotiate nor reschedule its SG loans. Venezuela, a founding shareholder of the IDB, has reiterated, through its representative at the IDB Board of Directors, its commitment to the Bank and its intention to undertake payments. The Bank expects to collect all amounts due, including interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. As a result, the allowance recorded represents the estimated loss from the expected delay in debt service payments. The assessment and estimation of credit loss is inherently judgmental and reflects Managements best estimate based upon the information currently available. Management will continue to monitor its credit exposure periodically and reassess the credit loss estimate accordingly.
Allowance for credit losses on individually assessed NSG loans: The Bank had individually assessed NSG loans with outstanding balances of $144 million at March 31, 2025, compared to $102 million at December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on individually assessed NSG loans was $45 million, compared to $37million at December 31, 2024. The percentage of the NSG allowance for credit losses on individually assessed loans was 31% as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - 36%).
Investments operations
Approximately 92% of the Banks investments are held in high quality securities rated AA- or higher.
Managements Discussion and Analysis | 8 |
In 2025, the trading investments portfolio experienced net mark-to-market gains of $22 million, compared to $26 million in 2024, mainly due to the mark-to-market impact of tighter credit spreads in a volatile environment.
Capacity Building, Asset Management and Advisory (CAsA) pilot program
The Banks CAsA pilot program aims to help build or strengthen the institutional capacity of central banks and official institutions in the borrowing member countries. To this end, CAsA provides a range of services that includes managing a portion of the institutions assets along with technical missions, fellowships, and other training opportunities. Fees are based on the average value of the portfolio managed and are used to provide the entire range of services under the program. As of March 31, 2025 total assets managed under the CAsA program amounted to $634 million (March 31, 2024 $200 million).
Borrowing operations
During the first three months of 2025, the Bank issued bonds for a total face amount of $9,058 million (March 31, 2024 $8,314 million) that generated proceeds of $9,057 million (March 31, 2024 $8,316 million. The average life of new issues was 4.7 years in 2025 (March 31, 2024 5.1 years).
During 2025, the Bank continues to be rated Triple-A by the major credit rating agencies, and its outlook remains stable.
Balance Sheet Optimization
Exposure Exchange Agreements: The Bank reduces its sovereign-guaranteed loan portfolio concentration by entering into Master Exposure Exchange Agreements (EEA) jointly with other Multilateral Development Institutions (MDIs) and executing bilateral transactions under such framework. The EEA reduces portfolio concentration by simultaneously exchanging coverage for potential nonaccrual events between MDIs for exposures from borrowing countries in which an MDI is concentrated, to countries in which the MDI has no, or low, exposure, through use of guarantees. For further information, refer to Note D - Developmental assets loans and guarantees of the Condensed Quarterly financial statements.
Credit Risk Insurance: The Bank has executed credit risk transfer transactions with private insurance companies covering a small portion of the Banks sovereign exposures. The Bank has executed two transactions, the first in 2023 and the second in 2024, totaling $600 million of insurance coverage from 18 highly rated international insurance companies.
Credit Risk Guarantee from Shareholders: In 2024, the Bank executed its second guarantee arrangement with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). Combined, these transactions include $350 million of coverage resulting in over $750 million of additional financing in the region. The most recent transaction signed in 2024 was designed to support the Banks Amazonia Forever initiative.
The Bank is focused on expanding these types of transactions with new partners and expanding the relationships with existing partners.
Financial Results
Operating Income: Operating income includes the net interest income on earning assets, other loan income, net investment gains (losses), the provision (credit) for developmental assets credit losses and net non-interest expense.
Managements Discussion and Analysis | 9 |
Table 5 shows a breakdown of Operating Income for 2025 and 2024.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Operating Income was $343 million compared to $355 million for the same period last year, a net decrease of $12 million. The decrease was mainly due to: (i) an increase in the provision (credit) for developmental assets credit losses and (ii) a decrease in net investment gains; offset by (iii) a decrease in net non-interest expense and (iv) an increase in net interest income.

Net interest income: The Banks net interest income (NII) is driven primarily by two sources: the lending spread the Bank charges on all its SG loans and the income earned on its equity-funded assets. The SG lending spread on the Banks non-concessional operations is reviewed and determined annually by the Board of Directors as part of the Banks long-term financial planning exercise. If a change is approved, the new SG lending spread applies to the entire outstanding balance of non-concessional SG loans. Net interest income earned from equity-funded assets is the result of an Asset Liability Management (ALM) strategy governed by polices approved by the Board. The ALM strategy seeks to achieve stable net interest income and preserve the economic value of its equity. The Bank uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk on its Balance Sheet and, in particular, the repricing and maturity profile of the Banks equity-funded assets in accordance with the ALM policy. In 2021, a new model was implemented, by which interest rate swaps are used systematically to modify the characteristics of equity-funded assets to minimize volatility of net interest income driven by changes in USD interest rates.
Sensitivity to foreign exchange rates is negligible as the Bank economically hedges substantially all exposures with foreign currency swaps.
The Banks NII reached $484 million during the first three months of 2025, compared to $473 million for the same period last year. The increase when compared with prior year was mainly due to the income earned on equity funded loans and a larger loan portfolio.

Net investments gains: Net mark-to-market investment gains amounted $22 million, compared to $26 million for the same period in 2024, mainly due to the mark-to-market impact of tighter credit spreads in a volatile environment.
Provision for developmental assets credit losses: The provision for developmental assets credit losses of $17 million in 2025 was mainly due to an increase in the allowance for credit losses of the NSG portfolio due to the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions during 2025; offset by a decrease in the allowance for credit losses on the SG portfolio.

Net Income
Net income amounted $368 million during the first three months of 2025, compared to $207 million for the same period in 2024. The increase of $161 million was mainly due to gains in Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions.

Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions: Net fair value adjustments are mainly a result of the different accounting treatment between loans, which are carried at amortized cost, and the interest rate and foreign currency swaps on loans, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate and foreign currency swaps on loans are reflected in earnings, while the changes in the fair value of loans are not, as they are carried at amortized cost. In contrast, changes in the fair value of borrowings largely offset the changes in interest rate and foreign currency swaps on borrowings, as the majority of borrowings are carried at fair value. Mainly due to a decreases in the USD interest rates yield curve, the Bank had net fair value gains on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions of $134 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $31 million loss for the same period in 2024. Unrealized gains or losses in the net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios gradually tend to zero as the related financial instruments maturity approaches and their fair values converge with their amortized costs.
Managements Discussion and Analysis | 12 |
Transfers to the IDB Grant Facility: Income transfers from the Ordinary Capital to the GRF are subject to the requirements of the Agreement and other applicable financial policies, and they will be considered based on actual disbursements and fund balance of the GRF. In March 2025, the Board of Governors approved income transfers from the Bank to the GRF amounting to $164 million (2024 $159 million). Since 2011, the GRF has received income transfers totaling $1,888 million (2024 - $1,724 million).
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The Banks Capital Adequacy Policy (CAP) consists of a Capital Adequacy Policy mandate (Mandate) and regulations that determine capital requirements for credit and market risk in both its lending and treasury operations. The CAP also includes capital requirements for pension and operational risks. The Mandate, approved by the Board of Governors, requires the Bank to maintain its Triple-A foreign currency long-term issuer rating, and the establishment of capital buffers, specifically to assume financial risks in times of stress, while preserving the Banks lending capacity.
The CAP allows the Bank to measure the inherent risk in its developmental assets portfolio due to the credit quality of its borrowers and the concentration of its loans. Specific risk limits in terms of capital requirements for investments and derivatives are included that enable Management to achieve more efficient funding and investment strategies following the risk tolerance established by the Board of Executive Directors. The Bank is operating within its policy limits.
CONDENSED BALANCE SHEET
Developmental assets
Loans: The loan portfolio is the Banks principal earning asset. As of March 31, 2025, the total volume of outstanding loans was $115,935 million, of which $4,926 million was under concessional terms, compared with $115,812 million and $4,955 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.
The Bank makes loans and guarantees to the governments, as well as governmental entities, enterprises, and development institutions of its borrowing member countries to help meet their development needs. In the case of loans and guarantees to borrowers other than national governments or central banks, the Bank follows the policy of requiring a joint and several guarantee engaging the full faith and credit of the national government. The Bank also offers sovereign-guaranteed concessional lending through a blending of regular and concessional financing.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 3% of the outstanding loans and guarantees exposure was NSG. The NSG portfolio, including loans to other multilateral development institutions, totaled $2,989 million, compared to $3,129 million at December 31, 2024.
Debt securities: Debt securities related to development investments are classified as held-to-maturity given the Bank has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. For debt securities where the Bank does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity, the Bank elects the fair value option. As of March 31, 2025, debt securities outstanding amounted to $624 million (December 31, 2024 $632 million).
Investment Portfolio
The Banks investment portfolio is comprised of highly-rated securities and bank deposits. Its volume is maintained at a level sufficient to ensure that adequate resources are available to meet future cash flow needs as determined in the Banks liquidity policy.
Borrowing Portfolio
The portfolio of borrowings is mostly comprised of medium- and long-term debt raised directly in capital markets. Borrowings outstanding, after swaps, at March 31, 2025 increased by $1,582 million compared with December 31, 2024, primarily due to larger amount of new borrowings ($9,057 million), than maturities ($7,609 million).
Managements Discussion and Analysis | 13 |
Equity
Equity at March 31, 2025 was $40,674 million, an increase of $284 million from December 31, 2024, mainly due to Net income of $368 million for the first three months of the year; partially offset by a $72 million loss related to the Net fair value adjustments on borrowings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk, and $15 million amortization of net actuarial losses and prior service credit on pension plans.
The Debt-to-Equity ratio uses gross debt, as opposed to net debt, to facilitate its comparability with other MDBs. Total Equity (utilized as the denominator within the Debt-to-Equity ratio) is defined as Paid-in capital stock and Additional paid-in capital, net of Capital subscriptions receivable, less Receivable from members, plus Retained earnings, minus borrowing countries local currency cash balances, and accumulated other comprehensive income. The Debt-to-Equity ratio has a maximum policy limit, whereby the Bank cannot exceed 4.0x of equity. Table 9 presents the composition of the Debt-to-Equity ratio as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

COMMERCIAL CREDIT RISK
Commercial credit risk is the exposure to losses that could result from the default of one of the Banks investment, trading, or derivatives counterparties. The primary objective in the management of the liquid assets is the maintenance of a conservative exposure to credit, market, and liquidity risks. Consequently, the Bank invests only in high quality debt instruments issued by sovereign and sub-sovereign governments, agencies, supranationals, banks and corporate entities, including asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.

SUBSEQUENT AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
IT Strategy and Cybersecurity
The technologies landscape continues to evolve rapidly. Access to technologies, technical devices, hybrid work environments, a push for more agility and the emergence of disruptive technologies like cloud computing, generative AI, robotics and automation, and increasing dependencies on third parties have obliged IT departments to move from being a support function that provides and maintains equipment, to a strategic enabler and business partner for the institution.
Technology is now instrumental for the performance of the organization. Organizations with high-performing IT departments and a sustainable Digital Transformation Program, have a competitive advantage over their peers and can ultimately provide better results and value for their customers.
In that context, where technologies and digital transformation are pivotal, Managements IT Strategy 2022-2027, approved by the Board of Directors in 2022, aims to create more impact and results for the IDB and its clients. The strategy focuses on increasing the Banks digital fluency for better technology usage and protection, improving agility to achieve greater efficiency and results, becoming a data-driven institution, incubating new technologies like generative AI, and modernizing and securing our digital landscape.
Currently, two topics continue to be considered: (i) Generative AI. An institutional taskforce is in place, led by the Banks IT Department, and focus on safe and ethical usage of generative AI technologies, training and awareness, experimentation, and adoption of those technologies. This approach is allowing the Bank to keep a progressive and modern approach on the usage of advanced technologies, stay ahead but at the same time promote a safe and ethical usage; and (ii) Cybersecurity. The Bank continues to invest in security, remote access, end-point protection, cloud technologies, and operational risk management. The Banks IT Strategy reinforces the importance of ongoing investments in cybersecurity, with agility for rapid adjustments especially around employee awareness and cyber protection, deployed along the year to proactively improve the Banks security posture.
In this environment, the Bank has experienced an increase in cybersecurity threats, not unlike other financial institutions. To protect the security of its computer systems, software, networks and other technology assets, the Bank, through its Information Resources Security Policy and supporting standards program, has adopted a multilayered approach to cybersecurity risk management to help detect

malicious activities within the organization and from external sources. In managing emerging cyber threats, the Bank regularly reviews and adapts its technical and process-level controls and raises the level of user awareness to mitigate the risks. On a periodic basis, the Bank also assesses the maturity and effectiveness of its cybersecurity defenses and strives to incorporate industry standard risk mitigation techniques, including but not limited to, targeted testing, internal and external audits, incident response tabletop exercises, and mandatory training to staff.
Recommendations Capital Adequacy Framework (CAF)
The Bank is currently implementing the recommendations contained in the MDB CAF review sponsored by the G202. The CAF Review includes seventeen recommendations, grouped in five categories. The first category deals with risk appetite and financial policy framework; the second category addresses the value of callable capital; the third category calls for financial innovation to increase MDBs lending capacity; the fourth category pertains mainly to the interaction with credit rating agencies, and the fifth refers to governance and the use of loan performance data to maximize resource mobilization. Management and the Board of Executive Directors have discussed the status and the sequence that the Bank intends to follow to implement all recommendations.
Funded Status of Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans (Plans)
The volatility in the equity and credit markets, as well as changes in interest and inflation rates, affect the funded status of the Plans. As of March 31, 2025, the funded status of the Plans remained at 114% (December 31, 2024 - 114%) mainly due to an increase in market returns, offset by an increase in Plan obligations due to decreases in discount rates when compared to December 31, 2024. The Bank recognizes actuarial gains and losses on its Plans through comprehensive income at the end of each calendar year, when the Plans liabilities are remeasured, as required by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the pension benefit obligation used to calculate the funded status as of March 31, 2025 is an estimated amount that will not be remeasured until the end of the year.
Management Changes
On February 18, 2025, Ms. Laura Alfaro was appointed as Chief Economist and Economic Counsellor, effective June 1, 2025.
On February 20, 2025, Mr. Lawrence J. Sacks was appointed as Manager of the External Affairs and Communications Department, effective March 16, 2025.

ORDINARY CAPITAL
INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The primary activities of the Inter-American Development Bank (the Bank) are conducted through the Ordinary Capital, and the IDB Grant Facility (GRF). Unless otherwise indicated, all financial information provided in these Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements refers to the Ordinary Capital. The Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2024 financial statements and notes therein included in the Banks Information Statement dated February 26, 2025. Management believes that the Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Ordinary Capitals financial position and results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The results of operations for the first three months of the current year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of such financial statements requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant judgments have been made in the valuation of certain financial instruments carried at fair value, the determination of the adequacy of the allowances for credit losses on developmental assets, and the determination of the benefit obligations of the pension and postretirement benefit plans, the fair value of plan assets, and the net periodic benefit cost associated with these plans. Certain reclassifications of the prior years information have been made to conform with the current years presentation.
Accounting developments
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income StatementReporting Comprehensive IncomeExpense Disaggregation Disclosures (Topic 220), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for all public business entities. The ASU requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the notes to the financial statements, without changing the current presentation requirements of expenses on the face of the income statement. In January 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. For the Bank, the ASU is effective for the annual reporting period ending December 31, 2027, and the interim periods within annual reporting periods thereafter. The Bank is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
NOTE C INVESTMENTS
As part of its overall portfolio management strategy, the Bank invests in sovereign and sub-sovereign governments, agencies, supranationals, bank and corporate entities, including asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, and related financial derivative instruments, primarily currency and interest rate swaps.
The Bank invests in obligations: (i) issued or unconditionally guaranteed by sovereign governments of the member country whose currency is being invested, or other sovereign obligations with a minimum credit quality equivalent to AA-; (ii) issued or unconditionally guaranteed by sub-sovereign governments
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 23 |
and agencies, including asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with a minimum credit quality equivalent to AA-; and (iii) issued by supranational organizations with a credit quality equivalent to a AAA rating. In addition, the Bank invests in senior bank obligations with a minimum credit quality equivalent to A, and in corporate entities with a minimum credit quality equivalent to a AA- rating (private asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities require a credit quality equivalent to a AAA rating). The Bank also invests in short-term securities of the eligible investment asset classes mentioned above, if they carry equivalent short-term credit ratings.
Net unrealized gains (losses) on trading portfolio instruments held at March 31, 2025 of $(7) million (2024 $4 million) were included in Income from Net investments gains (losses).
A summary of the trading portfolio instruments at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is shown in Note I Fair Value Measurements.
NOTE D DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS LOANS AND GUARANTEES
Loans
The Flexible Financing Facility (FFF), effective January 1, 2012, is the financial product platform for approval of all sovereign-guaranteed (SG) loans. With FFF loans, borrowers can tailor financial terms at approval or during the life of a loan, subject to market availability and operational considerations. The FFF platform allows borrowers to:
i. |
manage currency, interest rate and other types of exposures; |
ii. |
address project changing needs by customizing loan repayment terms; |
iii. |
execute hedges with the Bank at a loan portfolio level; |
iv. |
manage risk exposures to commodity price volatility through embedded options; |
v. |
through the Principal Payment Option (PPO), defer principal payments for 2 years following an eligible natural disaster through a one-time option, by modifying the loans amortization schedule; |
vi. |
originate, price, and approve loans denominated in Local Currency terms, and; |
vii. |
manage risk exposures and loan cash flows to catastrophes. |
The FFF loans have maturities of up to 25 years and have an interest rate primarily based on SOFR plus a funding margin, plus the Banks lending spread.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Bank offers concessional lending through a blending of regular and concessional financing. The concessional portion of blended loans have a grace period and maturity of 40 years, and a 0.25% fixed interest rate. The regular financing portion has a maximum 25 years maturity.
Since January 1, 2023, the Bank no longer cofinances private sector projects with IDB Invest. However, the Bank continues to outsource portfolio management activities of its NSG developmental assets to IDB Invest.
Loans outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (in milions):

Total |
$ | 115,219 | $ | 115,106 | ||||
Guarantees
The Bank may make political risk and partial credit guarantees with a member country sovereign counter-guarantee. Since January 1, 2023, the Bank no longer made guarantees without sovereign counter-guarantee.
24 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
Guarantees are regarded as outstanding when the Bank issues the guarantee and the borrower incurs the underlying financial obligation. Guarantees are considered called when a guaranteed party demands payment under the guarantee. The outstanding amount represents the maximum potential undiscounted future payment that the Bank could be required to make under these guarantees.
Outstanding guarantees have remaining maturities ranging from 1 month to 20 years. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, guarantees of $1,465 million and $1,472 million, respectively, were outstanding and subject to call, and were classified as follows (in millions):

NSG guarantees ratings are represented by the Banks internal credit risk classification, which maps to S&Ps rating scale. |
(2) |

As of March 31, 2025, the current carrying amount of the liability for the guarantee obligations totaled $113 million (December 31, 2024 - $115 million) and is reported under Other liabilities in the Condensed Balance Sheet.
Exposure Exchange Agreements with Multilateral Development Institutions (MDIs)
The Bank reduced its sovereign-guaranteed loan portfolio concentration by entering into a Master Exposure Exchange Agreement (EEA) jointly with other MDIs and executing bilateral transactions. Conceptually, the EEA reduces portfolio concentration by simultaneously exchanging coverage for potential nonaccrual events (i.e., interest and principal non-payment) between MDIs for exposures from borrowing countries in which an MDI is concentrated, to countries in which an MDI has no, or low, exposure.
Under an EEA, there is no direct exchange of loan assets and all aspects of the client relationship remain with the originating MDI. However, one MDI assumes the credit risk on a specified EEA amount for a set of borrowing countries (the EEA seller of protection, or EEA Seller) in exchange for passing on the credit risk in the same amount on a set of different borrowing countries to another MDI (the EEA buyer of protection, or EEA Buyer). If a nonaccrual event occurs for one of the countries that is part of the EEA transactions, the EEA Seller compensates the EEA Buyer at an agreed upon rate. The EEA allows for exchanges of a minimum of 10 years and a maximum of 30 years maturity, and each participating MDI is required to retain a minimum of 50% of the total exposure to each country that is part of the EEA. In the event of no nonaccrual events occurring during the life of the EEA, the EEA expires at the end of the agreed upon period.
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 25 |
The Bank executed EEA transactions with other MDIs as follows (in millions) as of March 31, 2025:

In accordance with the Banks policy, these transactions remain within 10% of the Banks SG outstanding loan balance, and the individual country exposures exchanged do not exceed the Banks 10th largest SG exposure. In addition, each MDB engaging in EEAs is required to retain at least 50% of each individual exposure after considering all credit protections.
Each EEA transaction was accounted for as an exchange of two separate financial guarantees (given and received). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank is the EEA Buyer (receives a financial guarantee from other MDIs) and the EEA Seller (provides a financial guarantee to other MDIs) for the following countries and exposure amounts (in millions):

The trigger event for requiring the EEA Seller to make interest payments to the EEA Buyer is defined as a payment delay of 180 days (i.e., a nonaccrual event) for one or more of the countries for which exposure is included in the EEA. The trigger event for requiring the EEA Seller to make principal payments to the EEA Buyer is defined as the time at which the EEA Buyer writes off part, or all, of the sovereign-guaranteed loans to a country covered under the EEA. Any principal payment made reduces the EEA amount and the coverage of the EEA for the country for which the write-off occurs.
Following the trigger event, the EEA Seller pays compensation to the EEA Buyer based on the EEA amount for the country in nonaccrual at the interest rate set for the EEA transaction, currently set at USD six-month SOFR plus 1.25%. Interest payments are to be made on a semi-annual basis and cannot exceed contractual payments related to the loans that are past due.
The EEA Seller relies on the EEA Buyer to recover outstanding amounts owed from the borrowing country in nonaccrual status. Recoveries of amounts received by the EEA Buyer are to be shared between Buyer and Seller on a pari-passu basis. By the end of the nonaccrual event, the EEA Seller receives back all amounts paid to the EEA Buyer if there have been no write-offs.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no nonaccrual events under the guarantees given or received. The carrying amount under the guarantees given or received amounted to $561 million as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $577 million) and are recorded in Other liabilities and Other assets in the Condensed Balance Sheet.
NOTE E DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS DEBT SECURITIES
The Bank invests in debt securities to further its developmental objectives. In general, debt securities related to development investments are classified as held-to-maturity given the Bank has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. For debt securities where the Bank does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity, the Bank elects the fair value option.
Debt securities classified as held to maturity were $487 million and $500 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The net carrying amount was summarized below (in millions):

NOTE F CREDIT RISK FROM DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS AND RELATED OFF-BALANCE-SHEET EXPOSURES
The credit risk in the developmental assets portfolio is the risk that the Bank may not receive repayment of principal and/or interest on these assets according to the contractual terms. It is determined by the credit quality of, and exposure to, each borrower and directly related to the Banks core business. The Bank has multiple measures in place to manage this credit risk, including an overall lending and investing limitation, a comprehensive capital adequacy framework (designed to ensure that the Bank always holds sufficient equity at all times given the quality and concentration of its portfolio), a policy for the treatment of non-performing instruments, and a policy for the maintenance of a credit loss allowance.
The Bank manages two principal sources of credit risk from its development financing activities: SG (loans and guarantees) and NSG instruments (loans, guarantees and debt securities). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately 97% of the outstanding developmental assets are sovereign-guaranteed. The Bank develops and maintains separate methodologies for the allowance for credit losses on SG and NSG exposures due to the distinct sources of credit risk.
28 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
For both the SG and NSG performing portfolio (i.e., developmental assets that are not in nonaccrual status), the allowance and liability for expected credit losses (for off-balance-sheet credit exposures) is mainly a function of the estimated exposure at default (EAD), probability of default (PD), and loss given default (LGD). To augment the quantitative process of estimating expected credit losses, qualitative adjustments are applied as necessary based on Management judgment. These qualitative adjustments may arise from information lags implicit in the quantitative loss model, data limitations, significant changes in portfolio composition or lending operations, and uncertainties associated with economic and business conditions.
The EAD of the Banks developmental assets represents the unpaid principal or outstanding balance, which approximates the amortized cost of these assets as: (i) the Bank originates all its loans and debt securities at the face amount due at maturity without any premiums or discounts; (ii) the net loan origination fees and costs are not deemed material; and (iii) the foreign exchange adjustments on non-USD denominated assets are already reflected in the outstanding balance through the existing revaluation process at each reporting date.
The Bank does not expect recurring material prepayments in its SG portfolio, therefore, does not incorporate prepayment estimates in the EAD.
For the NSG portfolio, expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term adjusted for expected prepayments based on historical data. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are solely at the option of the borrower and outside the control of the Bank.
For off-balance-sheet credit exposures, EAD is estimated based on projected disbursements for unfunded loan commitments considering historical experience and projected repayments in accordance with contractual amortization schedules. The EAD of financial guarantees is estimated based on the amortization schedule or other relevant contractual clauses per the guarantee agreement as applicable, taking into account the likelihood of funding.
The macroeconomic performance and credit ratings of IDBs borrowing member countries are affected by factors such as geopolitical risks and shifts in monetary and fiscal policies. Accordingly, the Bank considers all available information when calculating the allowance for credit losses.
CREDIT QUALITY BY PORTFOLIO
Sovereign-guaranteed Loans
When the Bank lends to public sector borrowers, it requires a full sovereign guarantee or the equivalent from the borrowing member state. In extending credit to sovereign entities, the Bank is exposed to country risk which includes potential losses arising from a countrys inability or unwillingness to service its obligations to the Bank. Therefore, the Bank monitors and assesses its credit risk in the sovereign-guaranteed portfolio by sovereign borrower. The Bank expects that each of its sovereign-guaranteed loans will be repaid, consistent with its historical experience. As a policy, the Bank does not reschedule SG loans and has not written off any SG loans. The Bank monitors the credit quality, nature, and extent of its SG exposure to credit risk by country, and considers loans made to the same sovereign borrower share common risk characteristics.
As a multilateral development financing institution, the Bank receives certain preferential treatments, including priority for repayment, as compared with commercial lenders in the event of a sovereign borrower experiencing financial stress. This preferred creditor status is reflected in the Banks allowance for credit losses estimation through the PD and the LGD estimates.
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 29 |
PD represents the probability of default over the credit exposures contractual period and is based on the long-term foreign currency credit rating assigned to each borrower country by Standard & Poors (S&P), adjusted by the probabilities of default to the Bank. These adjustments are estimated considering past sovereign default events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable (R&S) forecasted economic data, which may affect a countrys ability to service its obligations to the Bank. Macroeconomic factors considered in a three-year R&S forecast period of the estimate include the borrowers gross domestic product (GDP) growth, current account balance as a percentage of GDP, and changes in reserves. For periods beyond which the Bank can make R&S forecasts of expected credit losses, the Bank reverts to historical loss information on a straight-line basis over a two-year period.
In addition to the probability of default, the Bank also has a different loss experience compared with commercial lenders in a sovereign default event as evidenced in the level of loss from its historical nonaccrual events. All its past sovereign default events were resolved with the Bank receiving payments from the borrower covering the full amount of all contractual principal and interest. Therefore, any historical loss associated with these events is limited to interest on interest, as the Bank does not charge interest on overdue interest payments during the arrears period. The Bank maintains this expectation to collect in full all contractually due principal and interest amounts in any on-going and future potential sovereign defaults. As a result, LGD represents the estimated loss from the expected delay in debt service payments.
SG loans in nonaccrual status exhibit credit deterioration and do not share the risk characteristics with other performing loans in the portfolio. These loans are individually assessed at the borrower level. The allowance for these loans is calculated based on a discounted cash flow method. This method estimates the allowance for credit loss as the difference between the amortized cost of the loan and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the loans contractual effective interest rate. Expected cash flows are developed with assumptions that reflect Managements best estimates given the specific facts and circumstances of the individual nonaccrual event.

Non-sovereign-guaranteed Loans
For co-financed NSG loans, the Bank and IDB Invest maintain separate legal and economic interests in their respective shares of the loan principal balance, interest, and other elements of the lending arrangement. The Bank does not benefit from sovereign guarantees when lending to NSG borrowers. Risk and expected performance for these loans are evaluated by scoring the individual risk factors separately for the borrower and the transaction through credit risk scorecards developed based on S&P models.
The Banks NSG portfolio is comprised of three main lending segments for the evaluation of credit risk: (i) corporate loans, (ii) loans to financial institutions, and (iii) project finance loans.
The major credit risk factors considered in the rating scorecards for corporate loans are country and industry risks, business and market risks, an assessment of the borrowers management, and a qualitative and quantitative assessment of financial risks. Extraordinary support from shareholders or from the government may be considered if applicable.
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 31 |
The credit risk evaluation for loans to financial institutions considers country and industry risks, which act as an anchor for the risk assessment. These risks include regulatory, competition, government support and macro-economic factors. Additionally, the rating scorecard assesses institution-specific factors such as capital adequacy, funding and liquidity, earnings, business position, quality of management, and potential government or shareholder support.
The main factors considered in the scorecards for a project finance loan are mainly grouped into the following categories: political risks, commercial or project risks, and financial risks. Political risks can be defined as the risks to a projects financing emanating from governmental sources, either from a legal or regulatory perspective. Commercial or project risks are the operational risks associated with construction or completion of a project and its economic or financial viability. Financial risks consider the projects exposures to cash flow generation, interest rate, foreign currency volatility and inflation.
The sovereign rating may also act as a ceiling of the final borrower rating at certain rating levels, in view of the close link between the countrys creditworthiness and that of the countrys institutions.
For the NSG portfolio, the expected credit losses methodology takes into consideration current market conditions, macroeconomic forecasts, and their corresponding impact to the allowance on credit losses in the term structure PDs and LGDs. To determine the Point in Time (PIT) term structure of PDs, the Bank uses Moodys Impairment Studio models to convert borrower risk ratings to PIT PDs that vary by industry, country, and the state of the credit cycle. For LGD, the Bank employs a decision-tree scorecard model developed by S&P to capture exposure specific information such as seniority, collateral, industry, guarantees and jurisdiction at the facility-level that may not be shared across different exposures of the same borrower. The macroeconomic forecasts in the model include various scenarios. The macroeconomic variables considered in these scenarios depend on the country of the exposure and generally include the gross domestic product, equity indices, and oil prices. Management currently considers the R&S period to be three years. For each scenario, a lifetime loss rate for each loan is calculated by the appropriate PD and LGD for every quarter for the remaining life of the asset. The results are then multiplied against the EAD. If multiple scenarios are considered, then results are weighted based on Managements judgment. After the R&S period, the model reverts to historical PDs for similarly rated credits and long-term LGDs from S&P on a straight-line basis over a two-year period.
For developmental assets that do not share common risk characteristics with the rest of the portfolio, including assets in nonaccrual status, the determination of the allowance for credit losses is individually assessed and reflects Managements best judgment of the creditworthiness of the borrower and is established based upon the periodic review of the loans. This estimate considers all available evidence including, as appropriate, the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the assets contractual effective rate, the fair value of collateral less disposal costs, and other market data.
Partial or full write-offs of NSG developmental assets are recorded when a loss has been realized through either a legal agreement or final bankruptcy settlement, or when the Bank has determined with a reasonable degree of certainty that the relevant amount will not be collected by reducing the developmental asset balance and related allowance for credit losses. Such reductions in the allowance are partially offset by recoveries, if any, associated with previously written off developmental assets.

PAST DUE, NONACCRUAL AND INDIVIDUALLY ASSESSED LOANS
Interest on loans is recognized on the accrual basis. The Bank considers a loan to be past due when the scheduled principal or interest payments have not been received on the date they are contractually due. It is the policy of the Bank to place on nonaccrual status all loans for the country in question of which the government, the central bank or any government entity is a borrower, or guarantor, if principal, interest or other charges with respect to any such loans are overdue by more than 180 days, unless it is determined that all payments of amounts in arrears are in process and will be collected in the immediate future. On the date a members loans are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest and other charges accrued on loans outstanding to the member are deducted from the income of the current period. Interest and other charges on nonaccruing loans are included in income only to the extent and in the period that payments have actually been received by the Bank. On the date a member pays in full all overdue amounts, the members loans emerge from nonaccrual status, its eligibility for new loans is restored and all overdue charges (including those from prior years) are recognized as income from loans in the current period.
34 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
For NSG loans, it is the policy of the Bank to place on nonaccrual status loans made to a borrower when principal, interest or other charges are past due by more than 90 days, or earlier when Management has doubts about their future collectability. Any uncollected interest accrued on loans placed in nonaccrual status is reversed out of income. Interest income is recorded thereafter on a cash basis until loan service is current and Managements doubts about future collectability cease to exist. If the collectability risk is considered to be particularly high at the time of arrears clearance, the borrowers loans may not emerge from nonaccrual status.
Sovereign-guaranteed Loans
As of March 31, 2025, sovereign-guaranteed loans made to or guaranteed by Venezuela have been in arrears for over 180 days, for an aggregate amount of principal payments in arrears of $1,213 million. The entire outstanding loan balance made to or guaranteed by Venezuela of $2,011 million (unchanged since 2018) has been placed in nonaccrual status since May 2018. An individual assessment was performed to estimate expected credit losses for this exposure.
As a result of the assessment, an allowance for individually assessed loans of $544 million is included in the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024- $539 million). This represents the estimated loss from the expected delay in debt service payments over an estimated length of nonaccrual period. The Bank expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay, when the balances in arrears are restored to accrual basis.
The assessment and estimation of expected credit losses is inherently judgmental and reflects Managements best estimate based upon the information currently available. Management will continue to monitor its credit exposure periodically and reassess significant assumptions, such as the length of the nonaccrual period, accordingly.

Debt securities
Consistent with its policy for NSG loans, it is the general policy of the Bank to place debt securities in nonaccrual status when interest or other charges are past due by more than 90 days, or earlier when Management has doubts about their future collectability. Income for nonaccrual debt securities is recorded thereafter on a cash basis until loan service or debt security is current and Managements doubts about future collectability cease to exist.
There were no debt securities past due or in nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2025 and 2024.
ALLOWANCE FOR DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS CREDIT LOSSES
Sovereign-guaranteed Loans and Guarantees
Expected credit losses for SG loans are estimated upon the initial recognition of such assets and over the assets contractual life, considering past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are evaluated at the aggregated borrower level as the Bank considers loans to the same sovereign borrower share common risk characteristics. Historically, virtually all the sovereign-guaranteed loan portfolio has been fully performing. However, in the past the Bank has experienced delays in the receipt of debt service payments, sometimes for more than six months upon which time all loans made to, or guaranteed by, the sovereign borrowers are placed in nonaccrual status. Since the Bank does not charge interest on missed interest payments for these loans, such delay in debt service payments is viewed as a potential credit loss as the timing of the cash flows may not be met in accordance with the terms of the loan contract. SG loans in nonaccrual status are evaluated on an individual basis at the aggregated borrower level given these loans do not share the same risk characteristics as the Banks performing SG loans.

Non-sovereign-guaranteed Loans and Guarantees
For NSG loans and guarantees, a collective loss allowance is determined based on the Banks credit risk classification system that maps transactions on a one-to-one basis to the S&P foreign currency credit rating with a point in time term structure. The expected credit loss calculation also incorporates forward looking conditioning, which takes into consideration current market conditions, macroeconomic forecasts, and their corresponding impact on the likelihood of default and the severity of loss given a default. The macroeconomic forecasts in the expected credit losses model include various scenarios, where each scenario represents a different state of the economy in the reasonable and supportable period. For each scenario, a lifetime loss rate for each instrument is calculated using the appropriate PD and LGD for the remaining life of the instrument every quarter. The Bank individually assesses allowance on NSG loans that do not share common risk characteristics with the rest of the portfolio, including loans in nonaccrual status.

Modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulties
The Bank does not renegotiate or reschedule its sovereign-guaranteed loans outside of the options allowed under the FFF. The Bank may modify NSG developmental assets when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The effect of most modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses because of the measurement methodologies used to estimate the allowance. Therefore, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. The modifications and the borrowers subsequent performance are factored into the estimate of allowance for credit losses by incorporating the modified terms of the loan and by adjusting the credit risk factors as necessary.
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 39 |
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Bank does not have any commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties with outstanding balances on modified loans.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, no developmental assets to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties were modified and there were no payment defaults on prior modifications.
NOTE G FAIR VALUE OPTION
The Bank has elected the fair value option under GAAP for most of its medium- and long-term borrowings, to mitigate the income volatility resulting from recording interest rate swaps used for economic hedging at fair value, while otherwise recognizing remaining borrowings at amortized cost. From time to time, the Bank may elect the fair value option for Developmental assets - debt securities, which the Bank does not intend to hold to maturity. Individual borrowings and debt securities are elected for fair value reporting on an instrument-by-instrument basis and the election is made upon their initial recognition and may not be revoked once an election is made. The Bank takes into consideration all of its non-trading financial instruments (i.e., borrowings, developmental assets and derivatives) in determining its fair value option elections to mitigate the income volatility.
The changes in fair value for borrowings and developmental assets elected under the fair value option were recorded in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, as follows (in millions):

These adjustments are determined by comparing each borrowings fair value adjustments with and without consideration to changes in the Banks credit spread as of each reporting date. The amount of the change of fair value that was attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and cumulatively, amounted to a loss of $72 million and $238 million, respectively (2024 loss of $124 million and $152 million, respectively).
The changes in fair value of borrowings attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk reclassified from Other comprehensive income (loss) to Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions, in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, amounted to a loss of $2 million for the period ended March 31, 2025 (2024 - loss of $4 million).

NOTE H REPURCHASE AND RESALE AGREEMENTS
In a repurchase, or repo, agreement, the Bank transfers securities to a repo counterparty in exchange for cash and concurrently agrees to repurchase those securities at a future date for an amount equal to the cash exchanged plus a stipulated interest factor. In a resale, or reverse repo agreement, the Bank buys securities with an agreement to resell them to the counterparty at a stated price plus interest at a specified date. The Bank enters into short-term repurchase and resale agreements as money market instruments for the Banks liquid asset investment portfolio and for the management of liquidity in general.
All repurchase and resale transactions are executed with approved eligible counterparties under enforceable global master repurchase agreements and are subject to enforceable master netting agreements. All contracts have a maximum maturity of three months. The Bank receives financial instruments purchased under resale agreements and makes delivery of financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements to custody accounts at an approved third-party custodian. The securities purchased or sold in resale and repurchase agreements are limited to U.S. Treasury securities with maturities of up to 5.5 years. In the case of resale agreements, the Bank receives collateral in the form of liquid securities. As of March 31, 2025, securities received as collateral from resale agreements were not further leveraged.
Repurchase and resale agreements expose the Bank primarily to credit risk that arises if a counterparty is unable to meet its obligations under the agreements. Other risks include refinancing, reinvestment, and operational risks. Such risks are managed through a comprehensive risk management framework to ensure global exposures are within acceptable parameters, including counterparty and maturity limits, and the appropriate size and type of acceptable collateral. Furthermore, the value of collateral pledged is monitored daily against acceptable thresholds and levels are adjusted when appropriate.
The Bank has made the accounting policy election to present all repurchase and resale agreements on a gross basis on its balance sheet. The interest earned with respect to securities purchased under resale agreements is included in Interest on investments on the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. The interest expense pertaining to the securities sold under repurchase agreements is included in the Interest on Borrowings, after swaps line in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. Cash flows from the repurchase agreements are included in the Short-term borrowings in the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.
Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements | 41 |
As of March 31, 2025, the gross carrying amount of U.S. Treasury securities pledged in the repurchase agreements amounted to $299 million (2024 none). The remaining contractual maturity of the repurchase agreements as of March 31, 2025 is less than 30 days. The related repurchase liabilities as of March 31, 2025 were $299 million (2024 none). As of March 31, 2025, the gross carrying amount of resale agreements was $200 million (2024 none).
NOTE I DERIVATIVES
Risk management strategy and use of derivatives
The Banks financial risk management strategy consists primarily of designing, implementing, and monitoring the Banks interrelated set of financial policies and guidelines. To optimize its funding and lending activities, in fulfillment of its development mandate, the Bank utilizes financial instruments that are sensitive to market movements, primarily changes in interest and exchange rates. The Bank mitigates these risks through its integrated asset and liability management framework by which it defines the currency composition, maturity profile, and interest rate sensitivity of the portfolio of assets and liabilities.
The Bank uses derivatives for the following purposes: First, to economically hedge the interest rate and currency exposure in its investment and borrowings portfolio. Second, the Bank mitigates the interest rate risk in its fixed-rate, fixed-base cost rate and local currency loans by economically hedging the interest rate exposure, primarily through use of interest rate swaps. In addition, the Bank supports its borrowers ability to manage exposures to commodity price volatility by offering derivative instruments, such as commodity options embedded in FFF loan agreements. The Bank simultaneously purchases an option with the same terms from a market counterparty to offset the risk exposure. Finally, the Bank utilizes derivatives to manage the repricing and maturity profile of its equity-funded assets in accordance with the Board-approved Asset Liability Management Policy.
The derivative instruments are used primarily for economic hedging purposes and are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
Accounting for derivatives
Derivatives are recognized on the Condensed Balance Sheet at their fair value by netting derivative asset and liability positions and the related cash collateral received by counterparty, when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists, including the related accrued interest. Depending on the nature (receivable or payable) of their net fair value, derivatives are classified as either assets or liabilities, and are presented net by counterparty. No derivatives are designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
The Bank occasionally issues borrowings that contain embedded derivatives. The hybrid borrowing instruments are carried at fair value under the elected fair value option.
Certain FFF loans may also contain risk management options that are embedded in the loan contract. When certain derivative instruments are not deemed clearly and closely related to the host contract, such as the commodity options embedded in loans, they are bifurcated from the host contract, and recorded at fair value as Derivative assets, net or Derivative liabilities, net in the Condensed Balance Sheet.
The Bank refers to the periodic cash payment or cash receipt to/from the counterparty pursuant to the provisions of the swap contract as the interest component. The interest component for swaps related to the economic hedging of the Banks investment securities is presented in Interest on investments in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. The change in fair value of the investment securities and related derivatives are presented in Net investments gains (losses). The interest component for interest rate swaps on loans is included in Interest on developmental assets, after swaps.
42 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
The interest component for swaps related to the economic hedging of the Banks borrowings and equity-funded assets are recorded in Interest on borrowings, after swaps, and Interest on other asset/liability management derivatives, respectively. Changes in the fair value of interest rate and foreign currency swaps, as well as for the commodity options, are reported in Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions. Realized gains and losses on non-trading derivatives are reclassified from Net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions to Interest on developmental assets, after swaps, Interest on borrowings, after swaps, and Interest on other asset/liability management derivatives, respectively, upon termination of a swap or option.

The Bank enters into swaps and other over-the-counter derivatives, as well as repos, directly with trading counterparties. These derivatives are entered into under trade relationship documents based upon standard forms published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), in particular an ISDA Master Agreement (the ISDA Agreements).
Close-out netting provisions
The close-out netting provisions of the ISDA Agreements provide for the calculation of a single lump sum amount upon the early termination of transactions following the occurrence of an event of default or termination event. Any lump sum amount calculated following the early termination of transactions payable by the non-defaulting party to the other party may be applied to reduce any amounts that the other party owes the non-defaulting party under other agreements between them. This setoff, if enforceable in the circumstances of a given early termination, effectively reduces the amount payable by the non-defaulting party under the applicable ISDA Agreements.
Terms of collateral agreements
Currently, the Bank is not required to post collateral under its ISDA Agreements. Should the Banks credit rating be downgraded from the current AAA, the standard swap agreements detail, by swap counterparty, the collateral requirements that the Bank would need to satisfy in this event. If the Bank was downgraded one notch from the current AAA credit rating, it would be required to post collateral in the amount of $304 million at March 31, 2025 ($768 million at December 31, 2024).
The performance of the obligations of the Banks counterparties may be supported by collateral provided under a credit support annex (CSA). The CSA provides for credit support to collateralize the Banks mark-to-market exposure to its counterparties in the form of U.S. Dollars and U.S. Treasury Obligations. In certain cases, the Bank may use, invest, commingle, or re-hypothecate as its own property such collateral subject to only the obligation (i) to return such collateral and (ii) to pass on distributions with respect to any non-cash collateral.
If an event of default has occurred, the Bank may exercise certain rights and remedies with respect to the collateral. These rights include (i) all rights and remedies available to a secured party, (ii) the right to set off any amounts payable by the counterparty with respect to any obligations against any collateral held by the Bank, and (iii) the right to liquidate any collateral held by the Bank.
The Bank classifies the cash collateral received under Cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Statement of Cash Flows as this collateral primarily relates to interest rate and foreign currency swaps on borrowings.

NOTE J FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The GAAP framework for measuring fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
Level 2 - | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or pricing models for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; | |
Level 3 - | Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
The Banks investment instruments valued based on quoted market prices in active markets, a valuation technique consistent with the market approach, may include obligations of the United States and certain other sovereign governments. Such instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Substantially all other Bank investment instruments are valued based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, external pricing services, where available, solicited broker/dealer prices or prices derived from alternative pricing models, utilizing available observable market inputs and discounted cash flows. These methodologies apply to investments in obligations of governments and agencies, obligations of sub-sovereigns and supranationals, corporate bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, bank obligations, related financial derivative instruments (primarily currency and interest rate swaps) and options. These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and are measured at fair value using valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches.
The main methodology of external pricing service providers involves a market approach that requires a predetermined activity volume of market prices to develop a composite price. The market prices utilized are provided by orderly transactions being executed in the relevant market; transactions that are not orderly and outlying market prices are filtered out in the determination of the composite price. Other external price providers utilize evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available market information through benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing to prepare valuations.
A small number of investment securities are also valued with prices obtained from brokers/dealers. Brokers/dealers prices may be based on a variety of inputs ranging from observed prices to proprietary valuation models. The Bank reviews the reasonability of brokers/dealers prices via the determination of fair value estimates from internal valuation techniques that use available observable market inputs.
Medium- and long-term borrowings elected under the fair value option, all currency and interest rate swaps and a debt security related to developmental investments under the fair value option are valued using quantitative models, including discounted cash flow models as well as more advanced option modeling techniques, when necessary, depending on the specific structures of the instruments. These models and techniques require the use of multiple market inputs including market yield curves, and/or exchange rates, interest rates, spreads, volatilities and correlations. Significant market inputs are observable during the full term of these instruments. The Bank also considers, consistent with the requirements of the framework for measuring fair value, the impact of its own creditworthiness in the valuation of its liabilities. These instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy in view of the observability of the significant inputs to the models and are measured at fair value using valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches.
46 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
Level 3 investments are valued using Managements best estimates utilizing available information including (i) external price providers, where available, or broker/dealer prices; when less liquidity exists, a quoted price is out of date or prices among brokers/dealers vary significantly, other valuation techniques may be used (i.e., a combination of the market approach and the income approach) and (ii) market yield curves of other instruments, used as a proxy for the instruments yield curves, for borrowings and related swaps. These methodologies are valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches.
The following tables set forth the Banks financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, by level within the fair value hierarchy (in millions). As required by the framework for measuring fair value, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
As of March 31, 2025, the investment portfolio includes $3 million of securities classified as Level 3 (December 31, 2024 4 million). Except for fair value adjustments, there was no activity associated with Level 3 financial assets and financial liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024. Also, there were no transfers between levels during the first three months of 2025 or 2024, for securities held at the end of those reporting periods.

NOTE K FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in measuring the fair value for its financial instruments, as also discussed in Note I Fair Value Measurements:
Cash
The carrying amount reported in the Condensed Balance Sheet for cash approximates fair value.
Repurchase and resale agreements
Repurchase and resale agreements are carried at face value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and minimal credit risk.
48 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
Investments
Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted prices, where available; otherwise they are based on external pricing services, independent dealer prices, or discounted cash flow models.
Loans and guarantees
The fair value of the Banks loan portfolio is estimated using a discounted cash flow method.
Debt securities
The fair values of debt securities are estimated using a discounted cash flow method.
Swaps
Fair values for interest rate and currency swaps are based on discounted cash flow or pricing models.
Borrowings
The fair values of borrowings are based on discounted cash flow or pricing models.
The following table presents the fair value of the financial instruments, along with the respective carrying amounts, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

Net fair value adjustments are mainly a result of the different accounting treatment between loans, which are carried at amortized cost, and the Interest rate and foreign currency swaps on loans, which are carried at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the Interest rate and foreign currency swaps on loans are reflected in earnings, while the changes in the fair value of loans are not as they are carried at amortized cost. In contrast, changes in the fair value of borrowings largely offset the changes in interest rate and foreign currency swaps on borrowings, as the majority of borrowings are carried at fair value. The Bank had net fair value gains on non-trading portfolios and foreign currency transactions of $134 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $31 million loss for the same period in 2024. Unrealized gains or losses in the net fair value adjustments on non-trading portfolios gradually tend to zero as the related financial instruments maturity approaches and their fair values converge with their amortized costs.
The Bank transacts in multiple currencies. However, assets and liabilities, after swaps, are substantially held in United States dollars. The Bank seeks to minimize exchange rate risk by matching the currencies of its liabilities with those of its assets and by maintaining substantially all its equity in United States dollars. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations have a minimum impact on earnings.
NOTE M BOARD OF GOVERNORS APPROVED INCOME TRANSFERS
The IDB Grant Facility (GRF) is currently funded by income transfers from the Banks Ordinary Capital to make grants appropriate for dealing with special circumstances arising in specific countries or with respect to specific projects.
50 | Condensed Quarterly Financial Statements |
Income transfers are recognized as an expense when approved by the Board of Governors and are currently funded in accordance with the GRF funding requirements. The undisbursed portion of approved transfers is presented under Due to IDB Grant Facility on the Condensed Balance Sheet.
Ordinary Capital income transfers to the GRF are subject to the requirements of the Agreement and other applicable financial policies, and they will be considered based on actual disbursements and fund balance of the GRF. In March 2025, the Board of Governors approved income transfers from the Bank to the GRF amounting to $164 million (2024 - $159 million).
NOTE N CAPITAL STOCK
There were no changes in subscribed capital during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

NOTE P PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
The Bank has three defined benefit retirement plans (Plans) for providing pension benefits to employees of the Bank and IDB Invest: the Staff Retirement Plan and the Complementary Staff Retirement Plan for international employees of the Bank and IDB Invest, and the Local Retirement Plan for national IDB employees in the country offices. The Bank also provides health care and certain other benefits to retired staff under the Postretirement Benefits Plan (PRBP).
Contributions
All contributions are made in cash during the fourth quarter of the year. As of March 31, 2025, the estimate of contributions expected to be paid to the Plans and the PRBP for the year 2025 is $67 million and $31 million, respectively. Contributions for 2024 were $65 million and $30 million, respectively.

NOTE R SEGMENT REPORTING AND CONCENTRATIONS
Management has determined that the Bank has only one reportable segment since the Bank does not manage its operations by allocating resources based on a determination of the contributions to net income of individual operations. The Bank primarily earns income from one operating and reportable segment, its development financing activities. The Bank does not differentiate between the nature of its development financing products or services provided, the preparation process, or the method for providing the services among individual countries.
The Banks Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the President. The CODM uses Operating income and Net income to assess the Banks financial performance and allocate resources through the annual administrative budget and financial planning processes. The measure of segment assets is reported as total assets on the Balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, total assets were $158,581 million (December 31, 2024- $155,368 million).
The Bank does not have any intra-entity sales or transfers.

NOTE S CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of its business, the Bank is from time to time named as a defendant or co-defendant in various legal actions on different grounds in various jurisdictions. Although there can be no assurances, based on the information currently available, Management does not believe the outcome of any of the various existing legal actions will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The macroeconomic performance and credit ratings of IDBs borrowing member countries are affected by factors such as geopolitical risks and shifts in monetary and fiscal policies. Such uncertainties may impact the fair value of the Banks investments and the credit worthiness of the Banks borrowers. The Bank has capital buffers in place to absorb additional stress and credit rating downgrades.

NOTE T RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In 2016, the transfer of operational and administrative functions and non-financial resources associated with NSG activities from the Bank to IDB Invest became effective. NSG activities were originated by IDB Invest and co-financed by the Bank and IDB Invest until December 31, 2022. The Bank no longer co-finances private sector projects with IDB Invest. However, the Bank continues to outsource portfolio management activities of its NSG developmental assets to IDB Invest.
IDB Invests capitalization plan included additional capital to be contributed by IDB Invest shareholders as well as shareholder capital contributions to be funded through capital distributions by IDB on behalf of its shareholders. These capital distributions were intended to be completed during the period 2018-2025 and for a total amount of $725 million. These capital distributions were conditional upon annual Board of Governors approval. In February 2024, the Board of Governors approved an accelerated capital distribution of the remaining $143 million distribution to the shareholders of the Bank for a concurrent capital contribution to IDB Invest on behalf of the Banks shareholders, that was recorded as Distributions on behalf of shareholders in the Condensed Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. The shareholders received additional Capital Stock in IDB Invest as a result of these transactions. All capital distributions related to IDB Invests capitalization plan were completed in 2024.
Also, the Bank and IDB Invest entered into one-year, renewable service level agreements for certain administrative and overhead services that include human resources and information technology support provided by the Bank, as well as loan origination, execution and monitoring services provided to the Bank. The total fees for the services provided by the Bank to IDB Invest, and those provided by IDB Invest to the Bank are $5 million and $6 million, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 (2024 - $4 million and $7 million, respectively).
The Bank also charges fees for the administration of the Multilateral Investment Fund III (MIF), funds held in trust and managed on behalf of donors, such as member countries, other international organizations, and other entities, for purposes consistent with the Banks objectives of promoting economic and social development in its regional developing members. These funds are mainly used to co-finance the Banks lending projects, to provide grants, and to fund technical assistance activities, including project preparation and training. These fees are reported as Other income and are recognized ratably over time as services are provided, or upfront when contributions from donors are received. The total fees for the services provided by the Bank for the funds held in trust and managed on behalf of donors and for the administration of the MIF are $3 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2025 (2024 - $7 million and $1 million, respectively).
The Bank received deposits from central banks and official institutions in the Banks member countries totaling $430 million as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - $237 million) with maturities of up to 30 days.
During 2020, the Bank entered into a 10-year guarantee and cooperation agreement (Agreement) with Sweden, a member country of the Bank, under which Sweden will guarantee up to $100 million of lending exposure to the Federal Government of Brazil. This Agreement allows the Bank to increase lending support by up to $300 million for new projects in Bolivia, Colombia, and Guatemala. During the term of the guarantee, if any sovereign-guaranteed loans by the Federal Government of Brazil were classified in nonaccrual status (i.e., payment arrears for more than 180 days), Sweden will compensate the Bank for up to $100 million of the loan outstanding principal in nonaccrual status. At the end of the nonaccrual event, the Bank will reimburse Sweden for any principal that is recovered with respect to the nonaccrual event. The eligible exposure under this guarantee was $83 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and there were no nonaccrual events associated with loans made to or guaranteed by Brazil.

In 2024, the Bank entered into another Agreement with Sweden to guarantee up to $250 million of lending exposure to the Governments of Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador for 22 years. The Agreement allows the Bank to increase lending support by up to $469 million for new projects in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, or Venezuela (3). During the term of the guarantee, if any sovereign-guaranteed loans by the Governments of Brazil, Argentina and Ecuador were classified in nonaccrual status (i.e., payment arrears for more than 180 days), Sweden will compensate the Bank for up to $250 million of the loan outstanding principal in nonaccrual status. At the end of the nonaccrual event, the Bank will reimburse Sweden for any principal that is recovered with respect to the nonaccrual event. The eligible exposure under this guarantee was $83 million as of March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - none), and there were no nonaccrual events associated with loans made to or guaranteed by Brazil, Argentina, or Ecuador.
