Exhibit 2

Independent Auditor’s Report

The Board of Directors

Japan Bank for International Cooperation

The Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Japan Bank for International Cooperation and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in net assets, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor’s opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Determination of borrowers’ category as the basis for calculating the allowance for loan losses for loans and bills discounted and application of cash flow estimation approach
   
Description of Key Audit Matter    Auditor’s Response

As a policy-based financial institution, the Group engages in financing activities to realize its policy objectives, and the nature of the finance to support overseas economic transactions is characterized by a relatively significant portion of long-term loans and loans subject to sovereign or country risk.

 

Therefore, the Group’s non-performing loans and credit-related expenses may increase if the financial conditions of the individual borrowers significantly deteriorate due to political and economic trends in the borrowers’ countries or regions.

 

As such, the Group calculates an expected loss amount and recognizes it as an allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses included in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 was ¥501,749 million and the method for recognition is described in (d) “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Note 5 “Significant Accounting Policies” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

  

Our audit procedures performed to examine the Group’s determination of the borrowers’ category and the estimation of future cash flows of individually-assessed loans and bills discounted used in the cash flow estimation approach included the following, among others:

 

- We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested operating effectiveness of the controls over the Group’s borrower category process. The controls tested included, but were not limited to, those controls over the accuracy of underlying internal credit rating data and schedules used in determining the borrowers’ category as well as controls over the completeness of the scope of self-assessment of asset quality.

 

- We selected a sample of borrowers by taking into account the degree of increase in credit risk estimated considering the type of business, the repayment status, financial position/degree of deterioration in their business performance and external factors including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine to test management’s determination of the category of the sampled borrowers. We also considered the monetary impact of changes in the borrowers’ category on the amount recorded in the allowance for loan losses.

 

2


Allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the Group’s internal rules for self-assessment of asset quality and internally established standards. As described in “6. Significant Accounting Estimates” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, its calculation process includes, but is not limited to the determination of the borrowers’ category based on the evaluation of the borrowers’ solvency in consideration of their repayment status, financial condition, performance, future prospects and other relevant factors, and the estimation of future cash flows of individually-assessed loans and bills discounted under the cash flow estimation approach.

 

Given that the future prospects for borrowers and other factors used in determining the borrowers’ category and future cash flows of individual claims used under the cash flow estimation approach are affected by changes in the borrowers’ business environment including the impact of the international situation relating to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, and whether their business strategy is successful, they require management judgement, and are subject to higher estimation uncertainty.

 

Accordingly, the future prospects for borrowers and other factors used in determining category of borrowers displaying a deterioration in repayment status, financial position or business performance, as well as the estimate of future cash flows of individually-assessed loans and bills discounted used in the cash flow estimation approach are considered a key audit matter.

  

- We evaluated sampled borrowers’ recent repayment status, financial position, and business performance, by inspecting a set of materials related to the Group’s self-assessment of asset quality, such as explanatory materials including a description of the business, borrowing and repayment status, research materials providing an understanding of actual financial position, financial statements, and the trial balance, and by evaluating the impact of the international situation related to Russia and Ukraine on the future prospects of the borrowers’ business performance and compared them with available external information including, as appropriate, trends in natural resource prices. In addition, we held meetings with the Finance Group in charge of the loans and the Credit, Assessment and Risk Management Group as necessary to supplement our understanding. Also, we compared internal credit ratings on sovereign loans with external credit ratings.

 

- We assessed the future cash flows of a sample of individually-assessed loans and bills discounted used in the cash flow estimation approach as well as the inputs used by management, evaluated the model used in the cash flow estimation approach and tested their mathematical accuracy through recalculations.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report that contains audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s reports thereon. Management is responsible for preparation and disclosure of the other information. The Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors are responsible for overseeing the Group’s reporting process of the other information.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management, the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and disclosing, as required by accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, matters related to going concern.

The Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

   

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

4


   

Consider internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for our risk assessments, while the purpose of the audit of the consolidated financial statements is not expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

 

   

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

   

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

   

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

 

   

Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors with a statement that we have complied with the ethical requirements regarding independence that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Japan, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied to reduce threats to an acceptable level.

From the matters communicated with the Corporate Auditor and the Board of Corporate Auditors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records maintained by Japan Bank for International Cooperation (“JBIC”) and its subsidiaries (the “JBIC Group”) in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of IFRS Accounting Standards.

The amounts indicated in millions of yen are rounded down by omitting figures less than one million. As a result, the totals in yen do not necessarily agree with the sum of the individual amounts. Items less than 1 million yen are presented as “0” and items whose balance is nil is presented as “-”

Amounts in U.S. dollars are presented solely for the convenience of readers outside Japan. The rate of ¥149.52=$1.00, the foreign exchange rate on March 31, 2025, has been used in translations. The presentation of such amounts is not intended to imply that Japanese yen has been or could be readily converted, realized, or settled in U.S. dollars at the aforementioned rate or any other rates.

2. Scope of consolidation

 

  (a)

Consolidated subsidiaries

The number of consolidated subsidiaries is eight.

 

Major company names:   

JBIC IG Partners

Russia-Japan Investment Fund, L.P.

JB Nordic Fund I SCSp

NordicNinja Fund II SCSp

(Change in the scope of consolidation)

JBIC has included JB Nordic Fund I SCSp, which was an equity-method affiliate, and NordicNinja Fund II SCSp and other four companies, which were non-equity method affiliates, in the scope of consolidation from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 due to a change in their status from affiliates.

 

  (b)

Unconsolidated subsidiaries

There are no applicable subsidiaries.

 

  (c)

Other company whose majority of voting rights is owned by JBIC on its own account but which is not determined to be its subsidiary

 

Company name:    RJIF GP2 Limited

(Reason for determining not to be a subsidiary)

JBIC has determined that RJIF GP2 Limited is not a subsidiary because, while JBIC indirectly owns a majority of voting rights of RJIF Management Limited through JBIC IG Partners, which is its consolidated subsidiary, JBIC needs to obtain agreement from the other JV company for making decisions on significant financial and business policies.

3. Application of the equity method

 

  (a)

Unconsolidated subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method

There are no applicable subsidiaries.

 

  (b)

Affiliates accounted for using the equity method

The number of affiliates accounted for using the equity method is two.

 

Company names:   

IFC Capitalization (Equity) Fund, L.P.

IFC Capitalization (Subordinated Debt) Fund, L.P.

(Change in the Scope of Application of the Equity Method)

JBIC has excluded JB Nordic Fund I SCSp from the scope of application of the equity method since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, because it is no longer an affiliate due to a change in its status to a subsidiary.

 

15


  (c)

Unconsolidated subsidiaries that are not accounted for using the equity method

There are no applicable subsidiaries.

 

  (d)

Affiliates that are not accounted for using the equity method

 

Major company names:    Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility
   RJIF GP2 Limited

These companies were not included in the scope of the equity method primarily because they do not have significant impacts on the consolidated financial statements in respect of any of the following items: Net income (the amount proportionate to the share of net income of such companies), Retained earnings (the amount proportionate to the share of retained earnings of such companies) and Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (the amount proportionate to the share of other comprehensive income (loss) of such companies).

4. Balance sheet dates of consolidated subsidiaries

The financial statements of the consolidated subsidiaries are used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

The balance sheet dates of the consolidated subsidiaries are as follows:

 

March 31

   2025  

December 31

     6  

March 31

     1  

September 30

     1  

Appropriate adjustments are made for significant transactions that occurred during the period between the consolidated closing date and the subsidiary’s balance sheet date above.

5. Significant accounting policies

 

  (a)

Securities

Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost based on the moving average method. Investments in affiliates that are not accounted for using the equity method are carried at cost based on the moving average method. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value with changes in net unrealized gains or losses included directly in net assets. However, equity and other securities whose market prices are not available are carried at cost based on the moving average method. Securities held by the consolidated foreign subsidiary (including investments in affiliates) are classified as financial assets designated as fair value through profit or loss based on IFRS Accounting Standards. These securities are recognized as securities classified as trading in JBIC’s consolidated financial statements and are measured at fair value.

Investments in partnerships for investment and other similar partnerships, which are regarded as securities under Article 2, Paragraph 2 of the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (Act No. 25 of 1948), are recognized at an amount equivalent to JBIC’s percentage share of the net assets of such partnerships, based upon the most recent financial statements available depending on the reporting date stipulated in the partnership agreement.

 

  (b)

Valuation method for derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.

With respect to specific credit risk, fair value is calculated for a group of financial assets and liabilities on a basis of a net amount after offsetting the amounts of the assets and the liabilities in the group.

Financial assets and financial liabilities arising from derivatives transactions that are executed with the same counterparties and are measured at fair value are offset on a counterparty-by-counterparty basis if a valid ISDA Master Netting Agreement is entered into. The resulting amount is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

 

  (c)

Depreciation and amortization basis for fixed assets

 

  (i)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment of JBIC are depreciated using the declining balance method over their useful economic lives except for buildings excluding installed facilities as well as installed facilities and structures acquired on or after April 1, 2016, which are depreciated using the straight-line method.

 

 

16


Depreciation is based on the following range of estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings:

   3 years to 50 years

Other:

   2 years to 75 years

Property, plant and equipment of consolidated subsidiaries are depreciated primarily using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

  (ii)

Intangible assets

Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method. Software used by JBIC and its consolidated subsidiaries is amortized over its useful life (5 years or less) at JBIC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

  (d)

Allowance for loan losses

Allowance for loan losses is recognized in accordance with internally established standards.

The allowance for claims on debtors who are legally bankrupt (“Bankrupt borrowers”) or substantially bankrupt (“Substantially bankrupt borrowers”) is provided based on the outstanding balance after the write-offs described as below and the deductions of the amount expected to be collected through the disposal of collateral and the execution of guarantees. The allowance for claims on debtors who are not legally bankrupt but are likely to become bankrupt (“Potentially bankrupt borrowers”) is provided based on an assessment of the overall solvency of the debtors after deducting the amount expected to be collected through the disposal of collateral and the execution of guarantees.

For Potentially bankrupt borrowers with restructured loans and others, (excluding foreign governments and other governmental entities) whose loan exceeds a threshold amount, if it is possible to reasonably estimate cash flows from the collection of principal and the receipt of interest, the allowance for claims on such debtors is provided based on an approach whereby the difference between the amount of cash flows discounted by the original contractual interest rates and the carrying amount of the claims is determined to be the allowance for loan losses (“cash flow estimation approach”).

The allowance for claims on debtors other than Bankrupt borrowers, Substantially bankrupt borrowers and Potentially bankrupt borrowers is provided primarily in consideration of the expected loss amount over the average remaining periods of loans, and the expected loss amount is calculated primarily based on the probability of default which is based on the actual bankruptcies during a certain period in the past. The allowance for possible losses on specific overseas loans is provided based on the expected loss amount taking into consideration the political and economic situations of these countries.

All claims are assessed initially by the operational departments and subsequently by risk evaluation departments based on internal rules for self-assessment of asset quality. The risk evaluation departments, which are independent from the operational departments, review these self-assessments, and the allowance is provided based on the results of the assessments.

With respect to claims with collateral or guarantees on debtors who are legally or substantially bankrupt, the residual book value of the claims, after deducting the amount which is deemed collectible through the disposal of collateral or the execution of guarantees, is written off. There were no accumulated write-offs as of March 31, 2024 and 2025.

 

  (e)

Provision for bonuses

The Provision for bonuses is calculated and provided for based on the estimated amounts of future payments attributable to the services that have been rendered by employees to the date of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

  (f)

Provision for directors’ bonuses

The Provision for directors’ bonuses is calculated and provided for based on the estimated amounts of future payments attributable to the services that have been rendered by directors to the date of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

  (g)

Provision for directors’ retirement benefits

Foreign currency translation and revaluation method

JBIC maintains its accounting records in Japanese yen. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and held by JBIC are translated into Japanese yen at the market exchange rate prevailing at the fiscal year end.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and held by consolidated subsidiaries are translated at the market exchange rate prevailing at respective balance sheet dates and other base dates.

 

  (j)

Accounting for hedges of interest rate risk

 

  (i)

Hedge accounting

The deferral method is applied to derivatives used for interest risk hedging purposes.

 

  (ii)

Hedging instruments and hedged items

Hedging instruments: interest rate swaps

Hedged items: loans and bills discounted, and bonds payable

 

  (iii)

Hedging policy

JBIC enters into hedging transactions up to the amount of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities.

 

  (iv)

Assessment of hedge effectiveness

JBIC assesses the effectiveness of designated hedges by measuring and comparing the change in fair value or cumulative change of cash flows of both hedging instruments and corresponding hedged items from the date of inception of the hedges to the assessment date.

 

  (k)

Accounting for hedges of foreign exchange risks

Hedging instruments used to hedge foreign exchange risks associated with foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities are accounted for primarily using the deferral method under “Accounting and Auditing Treatment Relating to Adoption of Accounting Standard for Foreign Currency Transactions for Banks” (The Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (JICPA) Industry-specific Committee Practical Guideline No. 25 of October 8, 2020 (“Industry-specific Committee Practical Guideline No. 25”)).

The effectiveness of the hedges described above is assessed by comparing the foreign currency position of the hedged loans and bills discounted and bonds payable denominated in foreign currencies with that of the hedging instruments, such as currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts which are used for hedging the foreign exchange risks of loans and bills discounted and bonds payable denominated in foreign currencies.

 

  (l)

Scope of cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated statements of cash flows

“Cash and cash equivalents” as stated in the consolidated statements of cash flows consists of cash on hand and deposits with the Bank of Japan in Cash and due from banks in the consolidated balance sheets.

Calculation method

The calculation method of allowance for loan losses is described in “5. Significant accounting policies, (d) Allowance for loan losses” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

18


JBIC engages in financing activities to realize its policy objectives as a policy-based financial institution and may incur loss from being impossible or difficult to recover its loans due to, among other factors, a deterioration in borrowers’ creditworthiness. To address such a risk of JBIC incurring loss arising from a reduction in, or diminishment of, asset value attributable to a deterioration in borrowers’ financial condition and for other reasons, JBIC calculates an expected loss amount and recognizes it as allowance for loan losses. JBIC engages in significant financing activities with overseas governments, governmental institutions, and overseas corporations as part of its support of overseas economic transactions. Because of the characteristics of these activities, sovereign or country risk is a relatively significant part of the credit risk JBIC is exposed to in connection with these activities.

Allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with JBIC’s internal rules for self-assessment of asset quality and internally established standards. The calculation process includes the determination of the borrowers’ category based on the evaluation of borrowers’ solvency in consideration of their repayment status, financial condition, performance, future prospects and other relevant factors, and the estimation of future cash flows under the cash flow estimation approach.

Note: For the details of the credit risk JBIC is exposed to in connection with its financing activities, see the descriptions in “17. Financial instruments and related disclosure, (a) Status of financial instruments, (ii) Types of financial instruments and risks, ① Credit risk” in the note to the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Major assumptions

Major assumptions are the future prospects for borrowers and other applicable items used in the borrowers’ category determination, and future cash flows of individual claims used under the cash flow estimation approach.

These assumptions are affected by relevant factors such as changes in borrowers’ business environment and whether their business strategy is successful. Therefore, JBIC’s estimation and judgment are reassessed and modified whenever the economic environment changes or new information becomes available.

Given the above, such estimation and judgment related to the major assumptions may have a significant effect on the amount of allowance for loan losses.

 

 

Effects on the consolidated financial statements for the next fiscal year

With respect to the international situation related to Russia and Ukraine, while the national governments have taken various measures, such as economic sanctions, against Russia, the effects of the international situation related to Russia and Ukraine are reflected in the allowance for loan losses in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 by assessing in detail the effects of such measures on the business of, or the performance of obligations by, Russia-related borrowers in the process of the borrowers’ category determination and assessing the effects on credit risk individually. In the future, the expansion of the scope, or extension, of economic sanctions may have direct and indirect effects on the borrowers’ category.

As the future outlook of the aforementioned event is uncertain, the developments in the international situation related to Russia and Ukraine may change the allowance for loan losses as of the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

The allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2025 is the current best estimate. However, given a high estimation uncertainty related to other factors in addition to the international situation related to Russia and Ukraine , there is a risk that the borrowers’ results of operations, financial position or other items may change more than what was assumed at the time of estimation and such changes, if occurred, may have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements for the next fiscal year.

7. Accounting standards and other pronouncements that are not applied

In addition to the above, there are revisions to the related accounting standards, implementation guidance, practical solutions, and transferred guidance.

 

  (i)

Overview

In order to enhance comparability with international accounting standards, the “Accounting Standard for Leases” and the “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Leases” have been developed. The new standard and implementation guidance specify accounting treatment, such as the recognition of assets and liabilities, for all leases as a lessee.

 

  (ii)

Planned date of application

JBIC plans to apply the accounting standards and other pronouncements above from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2028.

  (i)

Overview

To clarify the accounting treatment of interests in venture capital funds held by listed companies and others, the “Practical Guidelines on Accounting for Financial Instruments” have been revised. These revisions specify that equities, which are the underlying assets of partnerships similar to venture capital funds but lack available market prices, can be measured at fair value. This fair value can then be used as the basis for accounting by investors for such partnerships.

 

  (ii)

Planned date of application

JBIC plans to apply the practical guidelines above from the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027.

 

  (iii)

  (i)

Policies for financial instruments

Based on the JBIC Act, JBIC is a policy-based financial institution wholly owned by the Japanese government, which has the purpose of contributing to the sound development of Japan and the international economy and society while supplementing the financial transactions implemented by private-sector financial institutions, by performing the financial function to promote the overseas development and securement of resources which are important for Japan; maintaining and improving the international competitiveness of Japanese industries; promoting the overseas business having the purpose of preserving the global environment, such as preventing global warming, as well as preventing disruptions to international financial order or taking appropriate measures with respect to damages caused by such disruption.

JBIC’s principal operations consist of providing “export loans,” “import loans,” “investment financing,” “financing for business development” (including guarantees) and “capital investment.” To conduct these operations, funds are raised through borrowings from the fiscal investment and loans and the foreign exchange fund special account, and the issuing of bonds. An ALM (asset and liability management) function has been established in respect of JBIC’s financial assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate and currency fluctuations to assist in ensuring that such fluctuations do not have an adverse effect on JBIC’s operations. In addition, derivative transactions are entered into for the purpose of mitigating risk inherent in foreign currency denominated transactions. Financial instruments that can be used for the management of surplus funds are limited to safe instruments such as Japanese government bonds according to in the JBIC Act.

The budget required for governmental financial operations is decided upon by the Diet of Japan, and business plans and financial plans (borrowings from fiscal investment and loans, bonds, general accounting investment, and loans and other investments) are appended to the budget and submitted to the Diet of Japan.

The consolidated foreign subsidiary of JBIC engages in investments and other related activities as its principal operation.

 

  (ii)

Types of financial instruments and risks

The assets that JBIC holds mainly include loans to borrowers in Japan and overseas, and securities and liabilities mainly include borrowed money and bonds. The consolidated foreign subsidiary of JBIC holds securities subject to price fluctuations.

The associated risks of financial assets and financial liabilities held by JBIC are described below.

 

 

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that JBIC will suffer losses if the financial conditions of the borrower deteriorate and the value of assets (including off-balance sheet assets) declines or is impaired.

The credit risks associated with JBIC include sovereign risk, country risk, corporate risk, and project risk. JBIC engages in significant financing activities with overseas governments, governmental institutions, and overseas corporations as part of its support to overseas economic transactions. Because of the characteristics of these activities, sovereign or country risk is a relatively significant part of the credit risk JBIC is exposed to in connection with these activities.

As a result, if the financial conditions of the individual borrower significantly deteriorate due to political and economic trends in the borrower’s country or region, JBIC’s performance and financial conditions can be adversely affected.

 

(Note)

   Sovereign risk refers to risk associated with credit extended to foreign governments. Country risk refers to risk associated with the country in which the corporation or project is located (risk, in addition to corporate risk or project risk, associated with the country in which the corporation or the project is located). Corporate risk refers to the risk associated with credit to corporations and project risk refers to the risk that the cash flows generated from the project fail to generate the planned cash flows, in the case of project finance, where the repayment of the borrowing is primarily secured by the cash flow of the project to which credit is extended.

 

 

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the value of assets and liabilities (including off-balance sheet items) will fluctuate and losses will be incurred, or profits derived from assets and liabilities (including off-balance sheet items) will fluctuate and losses will be incurred due to changes in various market risk factors, such as interest rates and exchange rates.

The market risk borne by JBIC mainly consists of foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk, and JBIC may suffer losses from these risks due to fluctuations in the markets such as market turmoil. However, in principle, these risks are hedged through interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts.

 

25


JBIC uses hedge accounting for interest rate hedges, where the hedging instrument is interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in interest rates associated with loans, borrowed money and bonds. The effectiveness of the hedges is assessed by measuring and comparing the change in fair value or cumulative change in cash flows of both hedging instruments and corresponding hedged items from the date of inception of the hedges to the assessment date.

JBIC uses hedge accounting for foreign exchange hedges, where currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are used to hedge items such as loans and bonds for foreign exchange risk. The effectiveness of the hedging with currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts is assessed by comparing the foreign currency position of the hedged financial assets and liabilities with that of the hedging instruments.

 

 

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that losses will be incurred as a result of difficulties in obtaining the funds necessary due to a maturity mismatch between financing and funding or unexpected outflow of funds, or being forced to fund at an interest rate significantly higher than that under normal circumstances (funding risk). It is also the risk that losses will be incurred from being unable to conduct market transactions due to market turmoil or being forced to transact at far more unfavorable prices than those under normal circumstances (market liquidity risk).

Long-term and stable funds, such as fiscal loan funds, government-guaranteed bonds and the fiscal investment and loan program (“FILP”) agency bonds, are secured to finance JBIC and deposits are not accepted. Therefore, JBIC considers liquidity risk to be limited. However, financing costs could increase due to market turmoil and unexpected events.

 

  (iii)

Risk management structure for financial instruments

The risk management structure of JBIC is described below.

 

 

Credit risk management

The cornerstone of credit risk management at JBIC is the evaluation of an individual borrower’s creditworthiness in advance of credit approval.

When a new credit application is processed, the relevant finance departments (sales promotion departments) and credit departments collect and analyze information on the borrower. JBIC’s overseas representative offices also play a part in collecting information on foreign governments and companies. Credit appraisal takes place based on the information that has been gathered and analyzed with the different departments ensuring appropriate checks throughout the process, leading to the final decision by management.

In providing credit to foreign governments and companies, JBIC takes maximum advantage of its unique position as a public financial institution. This includes exchanging views and information with governments and relevant authorities in the recipient countries, multilateral international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, other regional development banks such as export credit agencies, and private financial institutions in developed countries. Using all these channels to exchange views and information, JBIC evaluates sovereign and country risks (risk in addition to corporate risk associated with the country in which the corporation is located) based on the broad range of information collected on the borrowing governments, the government agencies and the political and economic conditions in their countries.

The relevant finance departments and credit departments conduct proper credit risk management based on the credit risk rating system for segmented risk categories and the asset self-assessment system. In addition, an Integrated Risk Management Committee is held regularly to report the status of credit management to JBIC’s management. The credit management is also checked by an independent auditing department.

In addition, a claims protection mechanism exists based on an international framework unique to official creditors, that is not applied to private sector financial institutions, for public claims on foreign governments. This mechanism consists of international financial assistance upon international approval by the Paris Club, an international group focusing on debt, to allow the debtor country to continue debt repayment when the debtor country becomes temporarily unable to service its debt due to economic conditions. As part of this international financial assistance, the debtor country conducts an economic reform program agreed by the IMF in order to secure the ability to sustainably service its debt. In view of JBIC’s position as a public financial institution, it will use the framework of the Paris Club to preserve its public claims on foreign governments.

 

26


In addition to the above credit risk management related to individual borrowers, JBIC quantifies credit risk with a view to evaluating the risk of the overall loan portfolio. To quantify credit risks, it is important to take into account the characteristics of JBIC’s loan portfolio, which are not typically seen in other private financial institutions, namely that JBIC holds a significant proportion of long-term loans that entail sovereign and country risks. Also to be taken into account are mechanisms for securing assets under an international supporting framework, such as the Paris Club, which is unique to official creditors. JBIC uses a unique model to quantify the credit risk taking account of the above factors and measures the amount of credit risk, which are utilized for credit risk management.

 

 

Market risk management

JBIC manages foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk through its ALM. Market risk management protocols contain detailed stipulations in respect of risk management methods and procedures, and JBIC has established the ALM Committee to assess and confirm the execution of ALM, and to discuss future responses to market risk. In addition, JBIC assesses and monitors the interest rate and terms of financial assets and liabilities in detail through a gap analysis and an interest rate sensitivity analysis as well as market risk measurement using Value at Risk (“VaR”). The results are reported to the ALM Committee on a regular basis.

The basic policy for managing foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk at JBIC is described below.

 

  1)

Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency-denominated loans conducted in JBIC involve risks related to exchange rate fluctuations. JBIC has a consistent policy of managing this risk by fully hedging this risk exposure through the use of currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts.

 

  2)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises from exposure to market interest rate fluctuations for yen-denominated loan and foreign currency-denominated loan operations and the policy for managing interest rate risk is described below.

a. Yen-denominated loan operations

Yen-denominated loan operations are mainly managed by using fixed-rate loans. However, swaps are used to hedge interest rate risk for the portion of loans that are deemed to have high exposures to interest rate fluctuations and therefore interest rate risk is limited.

b. Foreign currency-denominated loan operations

For foreign currency-denominated loan operations, interest rate risk is hedged through the application of a consistent policy of using interest rate swaps and managing the funds with floating interest rates for both loans and related funding arrangements.

 

  3)

Status of market risk

JBIC only maintains a banking book and does not have financial instruments in a trading book. While, in principle, JBIC holds derivatives only for hedging purposes, as stated previously, market risk (VaR) that takes into account the correlation between interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk is measured in order to assess potential risk exposures. The following represents the market risk (VaR) exposure in the current fiscal year.

a. Market risk (VaR)

 

As of
March 31, 2025
     As of
March 31, 2025
      
(In billions of yen)     

(In billions of

U.S. dollars)

      
¥ 195.7      $ 1.3     

b. Market risk (VaR) measurement model

Historical model (Confidence interval: 99%, Holding period: 1 year, Observation period: 5 years)

c. Risk management using market risk (VaR)

VaR is a market risk measure that assesses the maximum possible fluctuation of gains or losses in fair values that could be incurred after a certain period of time (“Holding period”) based on historical market movements of interest rates or exchange rates and other market indices over a specific period in the past (“Observation period”) within a given probability (“Confidence interval”), that is derived statistically by employing the theory of probability distribution.

The measurement assumes historical market trends and the theory of probability distribution. Based on the possibility that future market trends could deviate from these assumptions, a back-test is performed to cross-check the model-measured VaR with actual profits or losses, in order to confirm the effectiveness of market risk measurements using VaR. In addition, a stress test, which goes beyond historical market movements, is carried out in order to capture risks from various perspectives.

 

27


The following points should generally be noted in measuring VaR:

 

   

VaR will differ depending on the choice of confidence interval, holding period or observation period;

 

   

VaR indicates the maximum fluctuation of gains or losses in fair values at the time of measurement. In practice, the actual results at a point in the future may differ from the VaR calculation due to changes in the assumptions caused by market movements during the holding period; and

 

   

VaR indicates the maximum value based on specific assumption. As such, when utilizing VaR as a risk management measure, it is imperative to keep in mind that VaR may underestimate the potential losses.

 

 

Liquidity risk management related to funding

Long-term and stable funds, such as fiscal loan funds, government-guaranteed bonds and FILP agency bonds, are used to finance the operations and deposits are not accepted.

Cash flows are assessed and proper measures, including establishing overdraft facility accounts with multiple private sector financial institutions, are taken to maintain daily cash flows for proper risk management.

 

 

Derivative transactions

For derivative transactions, the internal checks and balances are established by assigning the execution of transactions, the assessment of hedge effectiveness and the management of administrative work to separate divisions. In addition, derivative transactions are carried out in accordance with the derivatives related protocol.

 

  (iv)

Supplementary explanation concerning fair value of financial instruments

Fair values of financial instruments have been calculated using certain assumptions, and may differ depending on the assumptions.

 

  (b)

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and 2025 and the related fair value, and difference are as follows. Note that equity and other securities and partnership investments (excluding those held by a certain consolidated foreign subsidiary) whose market prices are not available are not included in the following tables (refer to Note 1). Further, Cash and due from banks, Cash collateral paid for financial instruments and Cash collateral received for financial instruments are excluded from the note because they are settled in a short period and thus their fair value approximates their carrying amount.

Components of the fair value of financial instruments by level and other relevant matters

The fair value of financial instruments is classified into the following three levels in accordance with the observability and significance of inputs used for determining the fair value.

Level 1 fair value: Of observable inputs for the fair value determination, this fair value is determined based on a quoted price formed in an active market for assets or liabilities that are subject to the fair value determination.

Level 2 fair value: Of observable inputs for the fair value, this fair value is determined based on inputs for the fair value determination other than those used to determine the Level 1 fair value.

Level 3 fair value: This fair value is determined using unobservable inputs for the fair value determination.

Where more than one input that has a significant impact on the fair value determination are used, of the levels respective inputs belong to, the fair value is classified into the level with the lowest priority in the fair value determination.

Valuation methodologies and inputs used for determining fair value

 

35


Assets

Securities

When the market is not active even if a quoted price is used, or when quoted prices are not available but the Reference Statistical Prices [Yields] for OTC Bond Transactions are available, the fair values of securities are classified into Level 2. Such securities primarily include Samurai bonds and listed stocks. The fair value of certain Samurai bonds is based on prices obtained from, among others, information vendors. In consideration of the results of assessment using a fair valuation model that does not use unobservable inputs, such fair value is also classified into Level 2.

When quoted prices are not available, the fair value is determined by using valuation methodologies, such as the one using the present value of future cash flows. Observable inputs are used as much as practicable in valuation and inputs include a discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital. If any significant unobservable inputs are used in the calculation, the fair values of securities are classified into Level 3. Such securities primarily include equity and other securities. Furthermore, the latest fair values of certain equity and other securities are determined based on historical transaction prices by considering events that may affect the values of these financial instruments. Such fair values are classified into Level 3.

Loans and bills discounted

The fair value of loans and bills discounted is determined by discounting at a risk-free rate the sum of principal and interest after adjusting for credit risk and other elements according to the classifications based on the type of loans and bills discounted, internal ratings and periods. Of which, the fair value of those loans with variable interest rates is their carrying amount as such loans reflect market interest rates over the short term and approximates the carrying mount if the borrower’s credit conditions have not changed significantly since the issuance of loans.

For claims on Bankrupt borrowers, Substantially bankrupt borrowers, and Potentially bankrupt borrowers, credit losses estimated on such claims are calculated based on the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows or the expected collectible amount from the collateral or guarantee. Since fair value approximates the amount on the consolidated balance sheets at the fiscal year end after deducting the allowance for loan losses, this amount is used for fair value. This fair value is classified into Level 3 because the effects of unobservable inputs on the fair value are considered to be material.

Liabilities

Borrowed money

As for borrowed money, the present value is calculated by discounting the sum of principal and interest of the borrowed money classified by certain periods at a rate adjusted by the remaining period and credit risk of borrowed money. Of which, borrowed money with variable interest rates reflect short-term market interest rates and the credit conditions of JBIC and its consolidated subsidiaries have not changed significantly since the execution of borrowings. Therefore, the carrying amount is used as fair value because it is considered that the carrying amount approximates the fair value. Since unobservable inputs are not used, this fair value is classified into Level 2.

Bonds payable

Of bonds issued by JBIC, the Reference Statistical Prices [Yields] for OTC Bond Transactions is used as fair value for the FILP agency bonds and that fair value is classified into Level 2. As for government-guaranteed foreign currency bonds, the prices obtained from, among others, information vendors are used as fair value and that fair value is classified into Level 2 in consideration of the result of assessment using a fair valuation model that does not use unobservable inputs.

Derivative transactions

As derivative transactions by JBIC are OTC transactions whose quoted prices are not available, their fair value is determined by using the present value method and other valuation methodologies according to the transaction type and the term to maturity. Price adjustments are made based on the counterparty’s credit risk and JBIC’s credit risk. Main inputs used in these valuation methodologies include interest rates, exchange rates, and credit spreads. Since unobservable inputs are not used, this fair value is classified into Level 2. Such transactions include plain vanilla interest rate swaps, currency swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts.

Fair valuation process

The JBIC Group has in place the policies and procedures for the fair value determination and each trading department determines fair value in line with these policies and procedures. With respect to the fair value determined, an independent department, verifies the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies, and the reasonableness of inputs, that are used in determining fair value and the appropriateness of the classification of fair value by level. The verification results are escalated to management every fiscal year to ensure the appropriateness of the policies and procedures for the fair value determination.

In determining fair value, a valuation model that best reflects the nature, characteristics, and risks of individual assets is used. When using quoted prices obtained from third parties, JBIC verifies the reasonableness of such prices by reviewing the valuation methodologies and inputs used or by other appropriate methods.

 

(4)

Effects on fair value arising from changes in significant unobservable inputs

The significant unobservable input used for determining the fair values of equity and other securities are the discount rate. The weighted average cost of capital is primarily used as the discount rate. Generally, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate gives rise to a significant decrease (increase) in the fair value.

21. Retirement benefits

 

  (a)

Overview of retirement benefit plans

JBIC abolished the welfare pension fund plan effective October 1, 2014 and has established a defined benefit corporate pension plan and a defined contribution pension plan.

JBIC has a defined benefit pension plan comprised of a corporate pension plan (transferred from a welfare pension fund plan effective October 1, 2014) and a lump-sum severance indemnity plan. Although JBIC’s corporate pension plan is a multi-employer plan, the amount of the pension assets corresponding to its own contribution can be reasonably calculated based on the ratio of the projected benefit obligations, and therefore notes are included in the following notes related to the defined pension plan.

Under the corporate pension plan (funded type), pension or lump-sum payments are provided based on salary and service period. Under the lump-sum severance indemnity plan (unfunded type), lump-sum payments are provided as retirement benefits based on salary and service period. In addition, JBIC has established a defined contribution-type retirement benefit plan effective October 1, 2014.

  (a)

Segment summary

The JBIC Group’s operating segments are those for which discrete financial information is available, and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by JBIC’s management.

The JBIC Group is a policy-based financial institution wholly owned by the Japanese government, which has the purpose of contributing to the sound development of Japan and the international economy and society, while supplementing the financial transactions implemented by private-sector financial institutions by performing financial operations from four viewpoints: i.e., “promotion of the overseas development and securement of resources which are important for Japan”; “maintenance and improvement of the international competitiveness of Japanese industries”; “promotion of the overseas business having the purpose of preserving the global environment, such as preventing global warming”; and “prevention of disruptions to international financial order or implementation of appropriate measures with respect to damages caused by such disruption.” To achieve these purposes, for business operations defined under the Act on Japan Bank for International Cooperation and other acts, JBIC has two reporting segments: “Ordinary Operations” account and “Special Operations” account. Accounting operations are separately carried out for respective accounts.

 

51


The “Ordinary Operations” account covers the businesses which are not included in the “Special Operations” account of the JBIC Group. The Ordinary Operations account also includes the investment business of the consolidated subsidiaries.

The “Special Operations” account includes the businesses that offer financing services such as lending to overseas infrastructure business projects that has risks but generate a sufficient level of expected return.
