THIS PROSPECTUS

permit the admission of Notes issued under this Note Programme (the "Programme") to listing on the official list and
to trading on the regulated market (within the meaning of MiFID II) or on the professional segment of the regulated
market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
This Prospectus fulfils the requirements for an alleviated prospectus pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part III of the Law of
July 16, 2019 on Prospectuses for Securities (Loi du 16 juillet 2019 relative aux prospectus pour valeurs mobilières)
(the "Luxembourg Prospectus Act"). Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the
approval of this Prospectus pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part II of the Luxembourg Prospectus Act. It does not constitute
a prospectus for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended or superseded (the "Prospectus
Regulation") nor does it constitute a prospectus pursuant to Part II or Chapter 1 of Part III of the Luxembourg
Prospectus Act. Accordingly, this Prospectus does not purport to meet the format and the disclosure requirements
of the Prospectus Regulation and it has not been, and will not be, submitted for approval to any competent authority
within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation. Notes issued under the Programme wil therefore not qualify for
the benefit of the single European passport pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation.
If so agreed between KfW (the "Issuer") and the relevant Dealer(s), the Issuer wil procure the admission of Notes
issued under the Programme for trading on the regulated market (geregelter Markt) of the Frankfurter
Wertpapierbörse (the "Frankfurt Stock Exchange"), a regulated market within the meaning of MiFID II, or for trading
on any other alternative stock exchange in accordance with the applicable national laws and applicable rules and
regulations of the relevant stock exchange.

representations must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuer, the Arrangers (as defined below)

To the extent permitted by the laws of any relevant jurisdiction, neither the Arrangers nor any Dealer accept any
responsibility neither for the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this Prospectus or any

the Notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any
Final Terms comes are required to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. For more

There are no restrictions on the transferability of the Notes.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes under the Programme, the Dealer who is specified in
the relevant Final Terms as the stabilising manager (or persons acting on its behalf) may over-al ot the Notes
or effect transactions with a view to supporting the price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might
otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin at
any time after the adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes and, if begun, may cease
at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the Issue Date and 60 days after the date
of the al otment of the Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-al otment must be conducted by the relevant
stabilising manager(s) (or person(s) acting on behalf of any stabilising manager(s)) in accordance with al
applicable laws and rules.

INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Each person contemplating making an investment in the Notes (each a "Potential Investor") must make its own
investigation and analysis of the creditworthiness of the Issuer and its own determination of the suitability of any
such investment, with particular reference to its own investment objectives and experience, and any other factors
which may be relevant to it in connection with such investment, either alone or with the help of a financial adviser.
In particular, each Potential Investor should:
(i) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the relevant Notes and the information contained in this Prospectus, including the
information included in the Final Terms relating to the relevant Notes, or any applicable supplement thereto;
(i ) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation and the investment(s) it is considering, an investment in the Notes and the impact the
Notes will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the relevant Notes,
including risks relating to foreign exchange rates for Notes where principal or interest is payable in one or
more currencies, or where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the currency in
which the Potential Investor undertakes its principal financial activities;
(iv) understand thoroughly the terms and conditions of the relevant Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of
financial markets and of any financial variable which might have an impact on the return on the relevant
Notes (e.g. interest rates, currencies, or any indices);
(v) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic,
interest rate and other factors including exchange control risks that may affect its investment and its ability
to bear the applicable risks;
(vi) be aware that there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market for the Notes develops or, if it so
develops, that it wil continue to exist until maturity of the Notes and that it might not be able to sel the Notes
at any time at fair market prices if no liquid secondary market for the Notes develops or if it ceases to exist
prior to maturity of the Notes; and
(vi ) in particular with respect to floating rate notes, where amounts payable may be calculated by reference to
a particular reference rate, be aware that changes in the administration or method for determining such
reference rate or the prohibition for certain market participants to use or the permanent discontinuation of

5

such reference rate or the implementation of a successor reference rate may have a material adverse effect
on the value or the liquidity of, the return on and the amounts payable under such floating rate note. Any
successor reference rate may not be fully comparable to, show a similar performance and/or have the same
economic value as the reference rate originally applicable to such floating rate note.

Some Notes may be complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not purchase
complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments but as additional investment to their overall investment
portfolio in order to reduce certain risks already inherent in their overall investment portfolio or enhance the yield on
their overall investment portfolio by adding certain risks to their overal portfolio in an appropriate, well understood
and measured way. A Potential Investor should not invest in Notes which are complex financial instruments unless
it has the expertise (either alone or together with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes wil perform under
changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment wil have on the
Potential Investor's overal investment portfolio.
Prospective purchasers should also consult their own tax advisers as to the tax consequences of the purchase,
ownership and disposition of Notes.
