The date of these Final Terms is 3rd July, 2020.

These Final Terms, under which the bonds described herein (the Bonds) are issued, are supplemental to,
and should be read in conjunction with, the offering circular (the Offering Circular) dated
8th December, 2014 issued in relation to the debt issuance programme of European Investment Bank
(EIB). The Bonds wil be issued on the terms of these Final Terms read together with the Offering
Circular. Terms defined in the Offering Circular have the same meaning in these Final Terms.
EIB accepts responsibility for the information contained in these Final Terms which, when read together
with the Offering Circular, contain all information that is material in the context of the issue of the
Bonds.
These Final Terms do not constitute an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of anyone to subscribe
or purchase any of, the Bonds.
Potential impact of benchmark discontinuation on the Bonds
Reference rates and indices, including interest rate benchmarks, such as the Warsaw Interbank Offered
Rate (WIBOR), which are used to determine the amounts payable under financial instruments or the
value of such financial instruments (Benchmarks), are, and are anticipated to be, the subject of
regulatory reform and changes which may cause a Benchmark to perform differently than it has done in
the past or to be discontinued. Any change in the performance of a Benchmark or its discontinuation,
could have a material adverse effect on the value of, and return on, any Bonds referencing or linked to
such Benchmark, including the Bonds.
Furthermore, even prior to the implementation of any changes, uncertainty as to the nature of alternative
reference rates and as to potential changes to such Benchmark may adversely affect such Benchmark
during the term of the Bonds, the return on the Bonds and the trading market for securities based on the
same Benchmark.
The "Terms and Conditions of the Bonds" provide for certain fal back arrangements in relation to
interest calculations for Floating Rate Bonds in the event that a published Benchmark, including an
inter-bank offered rate such as WIBOR, (including any page on which such Benchmark may be
published (or any successor service)) becomes unavailable. In relation to the Bonds, the ultimate
fal back for the purposes of calculation of interest for a particular Interest Period is based on a
determination of the interest rate to be made by the Calculation Agent in its absolute discretion. There
can be no assurance that the exercise of this discretion by the Calculation Agent as to the interest rate to
be used for any such Interest Period will not have an adverse effect on the value of, and return on, the
Bonds.
Investors should consider these matters when making their investment decision with respect to the
Bonds.
The shareholders of EIB are the current Member States of the European Union (EU). As of
1st February, 2020, the United Kingdom ceased to be an EU Member State. The withdrawal of the
United Kingdom from the EU automatically resulted in the termination of its membership of the EIB
and its share of the EIB's subscribed capital. Effective 1st February, 2020, the share of the United
Kingdom in respect of the EIB's subscribed capital was fully replaced by a pro rata capital increase of
the remaining EU Member States. In addition, effective 1st March, 2020, the capital subscribed by
Poland and Romania in the EIB was increased by EUR 5,386,000,000 and EUR 125,452,381,
respectively.

Furthermore, a number of amendments to the EIB Statute have become effective following the
withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the EU and the capital increase of Poland and Romania. For
instance, with respect to governance, the EIB's Board of Directors is now composed of 28 directors and
31 alternate directors.
Following the recent outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19, on
16th March, 2020, the EIB and the European Investment Fund (together, the EIB Group) proposed a
comprehensive emergency response package to support the SME and mid-cap sectors in the EU,
including (i) guarantee schemes for banks in favour of SMEs, (i ) liquidity lines to banks to ensure
additional working capital support for SMEs and mid-caps and (iii) asset-backed securities (ABS)
purchase programmes to al ow banks to transfer the risk on their SME loan portfolios. On
3rd April, 2020, the EIB's Board of Directors approved a multi-beneficiary programme loan of up to
EUR 5 billion covering all EU Member States, as part of the implementation of the proposed emergency
response package. Such programme loan may be implemented through multi-beneficiary intermediated
loans as well as certain loan substitutes, such as the purchase of asset-backed securities and covered
bonds.
Further, on 3rd April, 2020, the EIB's Board of Directors also considered the proposed creation of a pan-
European guarantee fund to enable the EIB Group to scale up its response to the economic effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic. The detailed terms of such fund, which is anticipated to focus on supporting
financing for SMEs, are currently being developed. The fund is expected to draw on contributions of
EUR 25 billion, mainly in the form of guarantees, from participating EU Member States and EU
institutions. In addition, it is expected that any losses and related costs incurred by the EIB Group in the
implementation of operations approved under this scheme would be covered by the fund. Such losses
are expected to be borne by all contributors to the fund with each contributor's share of the losses being
capped at the level of its participation in the fund.
On 8th April, 2020, the EIB Group also announced a targeted financing initiative in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic outside of the EU of up to EUR 5.2 bil ion supported by guarantees from the EU
budget with a focus on investments in the health and private sectors.
Moreover, the EIB Group will continue to support the health sector and innovation in the area of health,
building on a current pipeline of projects in this field of around EUR 5 billion. The EIB Group can
al ocate financing at short notice to the area of cure and vaccine development and production facilities
and support the adoption of emergency measures by EU Member States, in particular, with respect to
infrastructure and equipment needs in the health sector.
The EIB Group currently remains ful y operational and continues to conduct its activities in the normal
course of business. As a precautionary measure, the EIB Group has put in place procedures to prevent
any potential disruptions to its governance and operation approval schedule. In addition, the EIB Group
has adopted prudent measures to ensure the health and safety of its employees, including imposing
travel restrictions, rescheduling public events or holding them in virtual format and requiring its

personnel to telework until a normalised situation resumes, and it continues to monitor the situation
closely.
Despite the general context of uncertainty in the global financial markets due to the COVID-19
pandemic, the EIB currently continues to maintain a robust liquidity position and flexibility to access
the necessary liquidity resources mainly as a result of its prudent approach to liquidity management.
Moreover, the quality of the EIB's loan portfolio currently remains high as it relies on a risk
management strategy based on adequate levels of security and guarantees, as wel as standard protective
clauses included in its loan agreements. The ultimate impact on the EIB of the COVID-19 pandemic is
difficult to predict at this stage. The EIB continues to monitor the situation closely and to consider other
supportive measures and programmes in response to the pandemic.
The EIB does not fal under the scope of application of the MiFID II package. Consequently, the EIB
does not qualify as an "investment firm", "manufacturer" or "distributor" for the purposes of MiFID II.
Solely for the purposes of the 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 (i ) al channels for
distribution of the Bonds to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate, subject to
the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a distributor) should take into
consideration the manufacturer's 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 manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels, subject to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as
applicable.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression manufacturer means the Relevant Dealer and the
expression MiFID II means Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended.
