We will pay interest on the £250,000,000 0.375% guaranteed bonds due 2026 (the "bonds") annually in arrears in equal payments on

As provided under the heading "Luxembourg Stock Exchange Approved Prospectus" 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 January 5, 2021, starting
after page S-56 (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 act dated July 16, 2019 (the "Luxembourg Act"). 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" 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 the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "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 Deutschland GmbH. ("Moody's Europe") and S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P Europe"), respectively, each
of which is an entity established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation. The CRA Regulation, as amended by The
Credit Rating Agencies (Amendment, etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, has been transposed into United Kingdom law pursuant to the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA Regulation"). Neither Moody's nor S&P are established or registered in the United
Kingdom under the UK CRA Regulation, but credit ratings issued by Moody's and S&P have been endorsed by Moody's Investors Service
Ltd ("Moody's UK") and S&P Global Ratings UK Limited ("S&P UK"), each of which is an entity established in the United Kingdom and
registered under the UK CRA Regulation.
Under the CRA Regulation, certain investors may generally only use a credit rating for regulatory purposes (i.e. for the specific purpose
of complying with European Union law or with European Union law as implemented by the national legislation of a Member State) 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. Under the UK CRA Regulation, certain
investors may generally only use a credit rating for regulatory purposes in the United Kingdom if: (i) the credit rating is issued by a credit
rating agency established and registered in the United Kingdom in accordance with the CRA Regulation, or (ii) is endorsed and published or
distributed by subscription by such a credit rating agency in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation.
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
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
Prospective investors should consider carefully the factors described under the section headed "Risk Factors" in this
Supplement.

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 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 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; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the
"IDD"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,
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.
The bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of
Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018 (the "EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement
the IDD, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of
Regulation (EU) 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently, no key
information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA
(the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the bonds or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the bonds or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK 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 or in the United Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation") (including as it forms part of domestic law in the United
Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA) 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 or in the United Kingdom 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
S-4

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.
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 only eligible
counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business, and professional clients, as defined in
Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA ("UK MiFIR"); 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 the FCA Handbook Product
Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") 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 only being distributed to and are
only directed at persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments who fall within
Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the
"Order"); (ii) are persons who fall within Article 49(2)(a)-(d) of the Order; or (iii) are persons to whom an
invitation or inducement to engage in an investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the FSMA) in
connection with the issue or sale of any bonds may otherwise be lawfully communicated or caused to be
communicated (all such persons together being referred to as "relevant persons"). In the United Kingdom this
Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus and any of their contents are directed only at relevant persons and
must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not relevant persons. In the United Kingdom, any
investment or investment activity to which this Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus relate is available only
to relevant persons and will be engaged in only with relevant persons.
In connection with the issue of the bonds, Barclays Bank PLC (the "Stabilizing Manager") (or any persons
acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) may over-allot the bonds or effect transactions with a view to
supporting the market price of the bonds at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the bonds is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time,
but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the bonds and 60 days after the date of
the allotment of the bonds. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilizing
Manager (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilizing Manager) in accordance with all applicable laws and
rules.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONSIDERATIONS
For an investor that is not resident in the United Kingdom or does not conduct business or activities in the
United Kingdom, an investment in the bonds, which are denominated in, and all payments in respect of which are
to be made in, British pounds sterling 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 British pound sterling; and
·
the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls with respect to the British pound sterling.
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 British pound sterling, 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 British pound sterling 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.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Supplement and the SEC Base Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein) include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not
historical facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, and generally can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may", "will", "expect", "intend", "plan", "estimate", "anticipate",

2026.
Guarantee . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Payments of principal of and interest on the bonds are unconditionally

equal payments on July 22 of each year, commencing July 22, 2021,
except that the first payment of interest to be made on July 22, 2021 shall
be in respect of the period from and including February 9, 2021 to, but
excluding, July 22, 2021. Whenever it is necessary to compute interest
for a period other than a full year in respect of the bonds, other than with
respect to regular annual interest payments, that interest will be calculated
on the basis of (i) the actual number of days in the period from and
including the date from which interest begins to accrue (the "accrual
date") to but excluding the date on which it falls due, divided by (ii) the
actual number of days from and including the accrual date but excluding
the next following interest payment date (known as "actual/actual
(ICMA)").
Ranking . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The bonds will be our direct, unsecured debt securities obligations and
rank pari passu and be payable without any preference among
themselves and at least equally with all of our other unsecured debt
securities obligations from time to time outstanding, which rank senior
to our unsecured general obligations not represented by debt securities,
provided, however, that certain obligations in respect of national and
local taxes and certain preferential rights granted by, among others, the
Japanese Civil Code to certain specified types of creditors, such as
preferential rights of employees to wages, will have preference.
Additional Amounts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If certain taxes, as described under "Description of the Bonds and
Guarantee", are payable on the bonds, we will, subject to certain
exceptions, pay such additional amounts on the bonds as will result,
after deduction or withholding of such taxes, in the payment of the
amounts that would have been payable on the bonds if no such
deduction or withholding had been required. For further detail on the
payment of these additional amounts, see "Description of the Bonds
and Guarantee--Additional Amounts".
Redemption . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We may redeem all, but not less than all, of the bonds in the event of
certain changes relating to Japanese taxation at 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon and any additional amounts
we are required to pay, as described under "Description of the Bonds and
Guarantee--Redemption".
