As provided under the heading "Luxembourg Stock Exchange Approved Prospectus" starting on page S-5 of this Supplement, subject to
approval by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, certain parts (but not all) of this Supplement and the accompanying prospectus dated July 5, 2017
starting after page S-45 (the "SEC Base Prospectus"), as well as the documents incorporated by reference into this Supplement or the SEC Base
Prospectus, constitute a prospectus for the purposes of the Luxembourg law dated July 16, 2019. The parts of this Supplement and the SEC Base
Prospectus and those documents incorporated by reference into this Supplement that together constitute a "prospectus" for the purposes of the
Luxembourg Act are referred to herein as the "LSE Approved Prospectus" and are identified under the heading "Luxembourg Stock Exchange
Approved Prospectus" starting on page S-5 of this Supplement.
Application has been made to admit the bonds to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and application has been made to
admit the bonds to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's Euro MTF Market (the "Euro MTF Market"). The Euro MTF Market is not
a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial
instruments or for the purposes of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"). References in this prospectus to
the bonds being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that the bonds have been admitted to the official list of the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market.
Our credit ratings have been issued by Moody's Japan K.K. ("Moody's") and S&P Global Ratings Japan Inc. ("S&P"), neither of which
are established or registered in the European Union and neither of which are registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of September 16, 2009 on credit rating agencies (the "CRA Regulation"), but such credit ratings have been
endorsed by Moody's Investors Service Ltd. ("Moody's Europe") and Standard & Poor's Credit Market Services Europe Limited ("S&P
Europe"), respectively, each of which is an entity established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation. Under the
CRA Regulation, certain investors may generally only use a credit rating for regulatory purposes in the European Union if the credit rating is
issued by a credit rating agency in the European Union and registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation (or is endorsed and published
or distributed by subscription by such a credit rating agency in accordance with the CRA Regulation), unless the credit rating is issued by a
credit rating agency operating in the European Union before June 7, 2010 which has submitted an application for registration under the CRA
Regulation that has not been refused.
Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") nor any other regulatory body has approved
or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Supplement or the SEC Base Prospectus. Any

The bonds have not been and will not be registered under the Financial Instruments and Exchange
Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended) and the bonds are subject to the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation of Japan (Act No. 26 of 1957, as amended). The bonds may not be offered or
sold in Japan or to, or for the benefit of, residents of Japan or Japanese corporations, except pursuant
to an exemption from the registration requirements of, and otherwise in compliance with, the
Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan and any other applicable laws, regulations and
ministerial guidelines of Japan (see "Underwriting" below). The bonds are not, as part of the
distribution under the underwriting agreement at any time, to be offered or sold to, or for the benefit of,
any person other than a beneficial owner that is, (i) for Japanese tax purposes, neither (x) an individual
resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor (y) an individual non-resident of Japan or a non-
Japanese corporation that in either case is a person having a special relationship with JBIC (that is, in
general terms, a person who directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by, or is
under direct or indirect common control with, JBIC) as described in Article 6, Paragraph (4) of the Act
on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan (a "Specially-Related Party of JBIC") or (ii) a
Japanese financial institution, designated in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation of Japan. BY SUBSCRIBING FOR THE BONDS, AN INVESTOR WILL BE
DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED IT IS A PERSON WHO FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF
(i) OR (ii) ABOVE.
In addition, interest payments on the bonds will generally be subject to Japanese withholding tax
unless it is established that bonds are held by or for the account of a beneficial owner that is (i) for
Japanese tax purposes, neither (x) an individual resident of Japan or a Japanese corporation, nor (y) an
individual non-resident of Japan or a non-Japanese corporation that in either case is a Specially-Related
Party of JBIC, (ii) a designated Japanese financial institution described in Article 6, Paragraph (9) of the
Act on Special Measures Concerning Taxation of Japan which complies with the requirement for tax
exemption under that paragraph, or (iii) a Japanese public corporation, financial institution or financial
instruments business operator, etc. described in Article 3-3, Paragraph (6) of the Act on Special Measures
Concerning Taxation of Japan which complies with the requirement for tax exemption under that
paragraph.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Supplement
and the SEC Base Prospectus and, for the purposes of the LSE Approved Prospectus, the documents
incorporated by reference therein. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different
information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not
permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference in the
LSE Approved Prospectus or otherwise in this Supplement or the SEC Base Prospectus is accurate as of
any date other than the date on the front page of this Supplement or, with respect to information
incorporated by reference, as of the date of such information.
In this Supplement, "we", "our", "us" and "JBIC" refer to Japan Bank for International
Cooperation.
The spot buying rate for U.S. dollars quoted on the Tokyo foreign exchange market on October 8, 2019, as
reported by the Bank of Japan (the "BOJ") at 5:00 p.m., Tokyo time, was ¥107.45 = $1.00, and the noon buying
rate on October 4, 2019 for cable transfers in New York City payable in yen, as reported by the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, was $1.00 = ¥106.91.
References in this Supplement to Japanese fiscal years ("JFYs") are to 12-month periods commencing in
each case on April 1 of the year indicated and ending on March 31 of the following year. References to years not
specified as being JFYs are to calendar years. References to "¥"or "yen" are to Japanese yen and references to
"$" are to U.S. dollars.
The distribution of this Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus and the offering of the bonds in certain
jurisdictions may be restricted by law. The bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available
S-3

to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic
Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client
as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU)
2016/97 ("IDD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of
Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the
"Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to
retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This Supplement
and the SEC Base Prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation
by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making
such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or
solicitation. See "Underwriting".
This Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus have been prepared on the basis that all offers of bonds in any
Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the
requirement to produce and publish a prospectus for offers of the bonds. Accordingly, any person making or
intending to make any offer in a Member State of the bonds which are the subject of the placement referred to in
this Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for
JBIC or the Underwriters to produce and publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation, or
supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation, in relation to such offer. Neither JBIC,
Japan nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the bonds in
circumstances in which an obligation arises for JBIC or the underwriters to publish a prospectus or supplement a
prospectus for such offer. JBIC and Japan have not authorized and do not authorize the making of any offer of the
bonds through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the underwriters resulting in sales constituting
the final placement of the bonds contemplated in this Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus.
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in
respect of the bonds has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the bonds is eligible counterparties
and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the bonds to
eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the bonds (a "distributor"), should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market
assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the bonds (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment)
and determining appropriate distribution channels.
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, THIS SUPPLEMENT AND THE SEC BASE PROSPECTUS ARE
FOR DISTRIBUTION ONLY TO PERSONS WHO (I) HAVE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN
MATTERS RELATING TO INVESTMENTS WHO FALL WITHIN ARTICLE 19(5) OF THE

S-5

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
For an investor that is not resident in the United States or does not conduct business or activities in the
United States, an investment in the bonds, which are denominated in, and all payments in respect of which are to
be made in, U.S. dollars entails significant risks not associated with a similar investment in a security
denominated in the investor's home currency (i.e., the currency of the country in which the investor is resident or
the currency in which the investor conducts its business or activities). These include the possibility of:
·
significant changes in rates of exchange between the home currency and the U.S. dollar; and
·
the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the U.S. dollar.
We have no control over a number of factors affecting this type of bond, including economic, financial and
political events that are important in determining the existence, magnitude and longevity of these risks and their
results. In recent years, rates of exchange for certain currencies, including the U.S. dollar, have been volatile and
this volatility may be expected to continue in the future. Fluctuations in any particular exchange rate that have
occurred in the past are not necessarily indicative of fluctuations in the rate that may occur during the term of the
bonds. Depreciations of the U.S. dollar against the investor's home currency could result in a decrease in the
investor's effective yield of the bonds below the coupon rate, and in certain circumstances, could result in a loss
to such purchaser on a home currency basis.
The description of foreign currency risks does not describe all the risks of an investment in securities
denominated in a currency other than your home currency. Prospective investors should consult their own
financial and legal advisors as to the risks involved in an investment in such bonds.

RISK FACTORS
We believe that the following factors may affect our ability to fulfil our obligations under our bonds. All of
these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and we are not in a position to express a view on the
likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
Factors which we believe may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with our
bonds are also described below.
We believe that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in our bonds.
Prospective investors should carefully consider these factors in conjunction with the detailed information set out
elsewhere in this Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus (including any documents or information
incorporated by reference herein) or, for the purposes of the LSE Approved Prospectus, the detailed information
set out elsewhere in the LSE Approved Prospectus (including any documents incorporated therein), and reach
their own views prior to making any investment decision.
Risks Relating to the Japanese Economy in General
Prospective investors in our bonds should be aware of the challenges faced by the Japanese economy in
general. Japan's economy continues to face challenges due to prolonged deflation and uncertainty about the
economic prospects of certain emerging countries and the world economy more generally. The Japanese
economy is also exposed to uncertainty in geopolitical conditions, including tensions with North Korea and
continued instability in the Middle East, as well as in international trade relations.
Although the Japanese government and the BOJ are pursuing expansionary monetary and fiscal measures in
an effort to counter deflation and have proposed structural reforms to complement such stimulus measures,
including the BOJ's introduction of a negative interest rate policy in February 2016 and its announcement of a
strengthened framework for quantitative and qualitative monetary easing in September 2016, the full effects of
such reform efforts remain unclear. Even though Japan's real gross domestic product ("GDP") has grown
moderately on a year-over-year basis since 2016, the impact of the increase in the consumption tax rate to 10% in
October 2019 on the Japanese economy and government finances is uncertain. Further challenges for the
Japanese economy include volatile exchange rates and, over the long term, demographic challenges, such as an
aging workforce and population decrease, and high levels of public debt and associated debt servicing payments.
Further slowdowns in overseas economies and sharp fluctuations in the financial and capital markets also pose
downside risks to the Japanese economy.
Risks Relating to Us
The Japan Bank for International Cooperation Act, as amended (the "JBIC Act"), requires the Japanese
government, at all times, to hold the total number of outstanding shares of JBIC. JBIC's operations, including
appointment of directors, business plans and issuance of new debt securities, are subject to the supervision of the
Japanese government. JBIC's business operations are conducted in accordance with the Japanese government's
economic and other policies, including the provision of financial support in areas in which it is difficult for
private financial institutions to provide on a commercial basis. Accordingly, JBIC's business operations, results
of operations and financial condition have been, and will continue to be, influenced by the Japanese
government's economic and other policies.
In particular, JBIC is subject to governmental regulation pursuant to the JBIC Act in addition to the
Companies Act of Japan (Act No. 86 of 2005, as amended). In the future, if these laws are amended in a material
way, the operations and other aspects of JBIC may be materially affected.
