documents cited below. Certain of the information is preliminary.

(1) Adjustment for seasonal and calendar effects according to the Census X13 method.
In price, seasonal and calendar-adjusted terms, the GDP rose by 0.3% in the fourth quarter of 2020
compared with the third quarter of 2020. After the historic 9.7% slump of the GDP in the second quarter of
2020, the German economy had recovered in the third quarter of 2020 (+8.5%). In the fourth quarter of
2020, however, the recovery process slowed due to the second COVID-19 wave and another lockdown
imposed at the end of 2020.
Due to the restrictions of the second lockdown as of November 2020, household final consumption
expenditure in the fourth quarter of 2020 was down 3.3% on the third quarter of 2020 after price, seasonal
and calendar adjustment. This means that the decrease of household final consumption expenditure was
S-4


smaller than in the second quarter of 2020 (-11.0%). Government final consumption expenditure, too,
recorded a 0.5% quarter-on-quarter decrease in the fourth quarter of 2020, following increases in the first
three quarters of the year. Gross fixed capital formation in construction contributed to growth in the fourth
quarter of 2020 as it rose 1.8% compared to the third quarter of 2020 after price, seasonal and calendar
adjustment. Seasonally adjusted gross fixed capital formation in machinery and equipment in the fourth
quarter of 2020 was roughly the same as in the third quarter of 2020 (-0.1%).
Foreign trade increased at the end of the year and had an upward effect on the GDP. In the fourth
quarter of 2020, exports of goods and services increased by 4.5% compared with the third quarter of 2020,
after price, seasonal and calendar adjustment. The total increase of imports (3.7%) in the fourth quarter of
2020 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was slightly lower as the imports of services were down
compared to the third quarter of 2020.
According to figures from the Federal Statistical Office, the GDP development was slightly more
positive than reported in the first release of January 29, 2021, both regarding the fourth quarter (+0.3%) and
the entire year of 2020 (-4.9%; calendar-adjusted: -5.3%). However, GDP in the fourth quarter of 2020 was
down a price-adjusted and calendar-adjusted 3.7% compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, the quarter
before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The inflation rate in Germany, measured as the year-on-year change in the consumer price index, stood
at +1.3% in February 2021. After the temporary value added tax cut had ended on December 31, 2020, the
inflation rate almost reached its pre-crisis level for the second month in a row in February 2021.
The prices of goods (total) were up 1.0% in February 2021 compared to February 2020. Energy
products prices (+0.3%) were slightly higher than in the same month a year earlier, after declining by 2.3%
in January 2021 compared to January 2020. In February 2021, year-on-year price increases were recorded
especially for motor fuels (+2.4%), natural gas (+2.1%) and heating oil (+1.1%). This was due not only to
the CO2 charge introduced at the beginning of 2021 but also the price increase recorded on the crude oil
market. Food prices rose by 1.4% in February 2021 compared to February 2020, which means that the
increase in food prices slowed down compared to January 2021, when prices had risen by 2.2% compared
to January 2020. In February 2021, significant year-on-year price rises were also observed for tobacco
products (+3.9%), while notable year-on-year decreases were recorded, for instance, for mobile phones
(-9.2%). Excluding energy prices, the inflation rate would have been +1.4% in February 2021.
S-5


The prices of services (total) were up 1.4% in February 2021 compared with February 2020, with net
rents exclusive of heating expenses, which are important as they account for a large part of household final
consumption expenditure, rising by 1.3%. Higher price increases were recorded, for example, for services of
social facilities (+6.5%) and financial services (+6.2%), while the prices of telecommunication services,
among others, were down (-1.0%).
Compared with January 2021, the consumer price index rose by 0.7% in February 2021. Energy
product prices increased by 1.5% in February 2021 compared with January 2021, with consumers paying
more especially for heating oil (+6.5%) and motor fuels (+3.0%). Food prices in February 2021 were up by
0.7% compared to January 2021, with higher increases especially for vegetables (+2.0%).

(1) The time series on unemployment are based on the German Labour Force Survey.
(2) Trend cycle component (X-13-ARIMA method using JDemetra+; calculation by Eurostat).
Compared to January 2020, the number of employed persons in January 2021 declined by
approximately 716,000 or 1.6%. Compared to December 2020, the number of employed persons increased
slightly in January 2021 by approximately 14,000 after adjustment for seasonal fluctuations.
In January 2021, the number of unemployed persons increased by approximately 564,000 or 38.2%
compared to January 2020. Adjusted for seasonal and irregular effects (trend cycle component), the number
of unemployed persons in January 2021 stood at 2.02 million, reflecting a slight increase of 0.1% compared
to December 2020.
It should be noted that according to the employment account and labour force survey concepts,
workers in short-time work schemes (Kurzarbeit) are not counted as unemployed persons but as persons in
employment.

Germany's General Government Deficit/Surplus and General Government Gross Debt
According to provisional calculations of the Federal Statistical Office, the German general government
budgets recorded a financial deficit (net borrowing) of EUR 139.6 billion in 2020. This was the first deficit
since 2011 and the second highest deficit in nominal terms since German reunification. Measured as a
percentage of nominal GDP, this corresponds to a 4.2% deficit ratio of general government for 2020,
exceeding the 3% reference value of the EU's Stability and Growth Pact. However, due to the COVID-19
pandemic the application of the Stability and Growth Pact's targets has been suspended for 2020 and 2021.

Other Recent Developments
General Considerations Relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic
According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control ("ECDC"), as of mid-
March 2021, a large number of countries in Europe, including Germany, had reported increasing case
notification rates and/or test positivity and absolute values of the indicators remain high, suggesting that
transmission is still widespread. The ECDC believes it is possible that further increases in admissions to
hospital, ICU and mortality will follow in the coming weeks in those countries that are currently observing
increasing case notification rates. Furthermore, in its most recent risk assessment of February 15, 2021, the
ECDC had noted that the introduction and increased spread of new COVID-19 variants first identified in the
United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil raise concerns. According to the ECDC, European countries have
in particular observed a substantial increase in the number and proportion of the COVID-19 variant first
identified in the United Kingdom, which appears to be more transmissible and may cause more severe
infections. The ECDC also stated that several countries where the variant has become dominant have seen
rapid increases in incidence, which have resulted in increased hospitalizations, overstretched health systems
and excess mortality. The ECDC also pointed out that recent anti-lockdown protests and civil disturbances
in some European cities suggest that pandemic fatigue could adversely affect the continued acceptance of
and compliance with non-pharmaceutical interventions by the population.
In Germany, protective measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, which in particular aim at
reducing contacts, continue to be in place. At a meeting in early March 2021, the Federal Chancellor and
the Heads of Government of the 16 German federal states (Länder) decided on certain stages of easing,
which largely depend on the COVID-19 infection patterns in individual federal states or regions, but may be
repealed if infections rise above certain thresholds. Currently, the number of new infections in Germany is
rising again and the percentage of total infections accounted for by COVID-19 virus variants is also
increasing.
S-8


On March 11, 2021, the European Commission granted a conditional marketing authorization for a
further COVID-19 vaccine, following positive assessments by the European Medicines Agency, bringing the
total number of vaccines that have been authorized for use in the EU to four. According to the ECDC, as
of March 14, 2021, the full vaccination uptake among adults aged 18 years and above in countries of the
EU and the European Economic Area (with 30 countries reporting) was at a median of 4.3%. As of
March 18, 2021, 3.8% of the German population had been fully vaccinated.
On March 17, 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative proposal establishing a common
framework for a "Digital Green Certificate", i.e., proof that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19,
received a negative test result or recovered from COVID-19. This proposed EU level approach aims to
facilitate free movement within the EU, based on strict respect for non-discrimination and the fundamental
rights of EU citizens. A technical framework will be defined at EU level, to be put in place by mid-
June 2021, to ensure security, interoperability, as well as full compliance with personal data protection. It
will also allow the possibility to extend to compatible certificates issued in third countries.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the notes will be $1,740,655,000 (after deduction of underwriting
discounts and commissions but before expenses of the offering). The net proceeds from the sale of the
notes will be used to finance our lending activities as described in the accompanying prospectus, including
the refinancing of existing liabilities.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following is a description of certain terms of the notes and supplements the description of the
general terms and conditions of the securities in the accompanying prospectus under the heading
"Description of the Securities". If the terms described in the following summary differ from the terms
described in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the terms described in the following
description. This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the notes,
which are discussed below. Copies of the form of the notes and of the fiscal agency agreement dated
October 16, 2001 and amended on December 12, 2013 and December 12, 2016 (as amended, the "Fiscal
Agency Agreement") pursuant to which the notes will be issued have been filed with the SEC as an exhibit
to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are a
part.
General
We will initially offer the notes in an aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000,000. The notes will
mature at par on March 30, 2026. The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and
multiples thereof.
The notes will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Rentenbank and will rank pari
passu without any preference among themselves (whether by reason of priority of date of issue or
otherwise) and at least equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Rentenbank,
present and future, subject to statutory exceptions relating to the payment of certain liabilities ahead of
unsecured debts. These exceptions arise under our governing law and the insolvency laws of the Federal
Republic and would apply if we were the subject of an insolvency proceeding. These laws dictate that the
fees and costs of the insolvency proceedings and either liabilities relating to the administration of the estate
or the fulfillment of liabilities the administrator deems necessary for the benefit of the insolvent estate would
be paid before unsecured obligations.
At December 31, 2019, the outstanding total of our secured bond obligations was 19 million. This
includes our registered bonds and secured bearer bonds. There are no material secured obligations other than
our registered bonds and secured bearer bonds.
The notes will bear interest at the rate per annum shown on the front cover of this prospectus
supplement, beginning March 30, 2021, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of
each year, commencing September 30, 2021. Payments will be made to the person who is the registered
holder at the close of business on the day immediately preceding such interest payment date. If any interest,
principal or redemption payment date falls on a day that is not a business day, we will make the required
payment on the next succeeding business day, and no additional interest will accrue in respect of the
payment made on that next succeeding business day.
As used in this section "Description of the Notes" and in the notes, "business day" means any day,
other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which commercial banks are
authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in The City of New York; provided,
however, that the day must also be a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross
Settlement Express Transfer (known as TARGET2) System is open. Interest on the notes will be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The notes do not provide for any sinking fund.
We may redeem the notes prior to maturity in the circumstances described in "-- Redemption for Tax
Reasons" below.
Redemption for Tax Reasons
For a discussion of our option to redeem the notes for tax reasons, please see "Description of the
Securities -- Redemption for Tax Reasons" in the accompanying prospectus.
