EUR 7,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme
Under the EUR 7,000,000,000 Debt Issuance Programme (the "Programme") described in this base prospectus
(the "Base Prospectus"), Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. ("FMO" or
the "Issuer") may from time to time issue senior preferred notes (the "Senior Preferred Notes"), senior non-
preferred notes (the "Senior Non-Preferred Notes") and subordinated notes (the "Subordinated Notes" and
together with the Senior Preferred Notes and the Senior Non-Preferred Notes herein collectively referred to as the
"Notes") denominated in any currency agreed between the Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will
not exceed EUR 7,000,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency calculated as described herein).
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the dealers specified below and any additional
dealer appointed under the Programme from time to time, which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an
ongoing basis (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"). The Dealer or Dealers with whom the Issuer agrees
or proposes to agree an issue of any Notes is or are referred to as the "relevant Dealer(s)" in respect of those
Notes.
An investment in the Notes entails certain risks. Prospective investors should have regard to the risk factors
described under the section 'Risk Factors' in this Base Prospectus.
The Notes of each series (each a "Series") or tranche (each a "Tranche") will initially be represented by a global
note. Each global note which is not intended to be issued in new global note form (a "Classic Global Note" or
"CGN") as specified in the relevant set of final terms ("Final Terms") (or in the case of Exempt Notes (as defined
below) the relevant pricing supplement ("Pricing Supplement")) will be deposited on the issue date thereof either
(i) with a common depositary on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A.
("Clearstream, Luxembourg") and/or any other agreed clearing system specified in the applicable Final Terms
(or in the case of Exempt Notes (as defined below), the applicable Pricing Supplement) or (ii) with Nederlands
Centraal Instituut voor Giraal Effectenverkeer B.V., formerly known as NECIGEF, ("Euroclear Netherlands").
Each global note which is intended to be issued in a new global note form (a "New Global Note" or "NGN"), as
specified in the relevant Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes (as defined below), the relevant Pricing
Supplement), will be deposited on or around the relevant issue date with a common safekeeper for Euroclear and/or
Clearstream, Luxembourg. See 'Form of the Notes' as set out herein.
This Base Prospectus constitutes a base prospectus within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as
amended) (the "Prospectus Regulation"). This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Netherlands Authority
for the Financial Markets (Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten, the "AFM"), which is the Netherlands'
competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Regulation. The AFM only approves this Base Prospectus
as meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus
Regulation. Such approval should not be considered as an endorsement of the Issuer nor as an endorsement of the
quality of any Notes that are the subject of this Base Prospectus. Investors should make their own assessment as
to the suitability of investing in such Notes.
This Base Prospectus shall be valid for use only by the Issuer or others who have obtained the Issuer's consent for
a period of up to twelve months after its approval by the AFM and shall expire on 17 June 2021, at the latest. The
obligation by the Issuer to supplement this Base Prospectus, in the event of significant new factors, material
1


mistakes or material inaccuracies, shall cease to apply upon the expiry of the validity period of this Base
Prospectus.
Application may be made for Notes to be listed and admitted to trading on Euronext in Amsterdam ("Euronext in
Amsterdam"), the regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam N.V., listed on the official list (the "Official List")
and admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Euronext in Amsterdam
and the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange are regulated markets for the purposes of Directive
2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"). The Programme also permits Notes to be issued on the basis that they will not be
admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by any listing authority, stock exchange and/or quotation system.
The AFM may be requested by the Issuer to provide the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the
"CSSF") in Luxembourg, or the competent authority of any other member state of the European Economic Area,
with a certificate of approval attesting that the Base Prospectus has been drawn up in accordance with Article 20
of the Prospectus Regulation.
The AFM shall notify the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") of the approval of this Base
Prospectus and any supplement hereto at the same time as such approval is notified to the Issuer. In addition, the
AFM shall provide ESMA with a copy of this Base Prospectus and any supplement hereto.
Certain Tranches of Notes with a denomination of less than EUR 100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency)
may be offered in circumstances where there is no exemption from the obligation under the Prospectus Regulation
to publish a prospectus. Any such offer is referred to as a "Non-exempt Offer".
The Issuer may agree with any Dealer that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Conditions of
the Notes as set out herein, in which case a supplement to the Base Prospectus, if appropriate, will be made
available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes and, if relevant, which
will be subject to the prior approval of the AFM.
The requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Regulation applies only to Notes that are to be
admitted to trading on a regulated market in the EEA and/or that are to be offered to the public in the EEA other
than in circumstances where an exemption is available under Article 1(4) and/or 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation
(and for these purposes, references to the EEA include the United Kingdom). References in this Base Prospectus
to "Exempt Notes" are to Notes for which no prospectus is required to be published under the Prospectus
Regulation. The AFM has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in
connection with Exempt Notes.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for the approval of this Base Prospectus with
respect to Exempt Notes as a base prospectus for the purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg Law dated 16 July
2019 on prospectuses for securities (the "Prospectus Act 2019"). Application has also been made to the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes (including Exempt Notes) issued under the Programme to be admitted to
the Official List and admitted to trading on the Euro MTF Market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Euro
MTF Market") (including the professional segment of the Euro MTF Market) during the twelve-month period
after the date of approval of this Base Prospectus. The Euro MTF Market is not a regulated market for the purposes
of MiFID II. This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in its capacity of
competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Act 2019, in respect of the Exempt Notes provisions.
Amounts payable under the Notes may be calculated by reference to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate
("EURIBOR") which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute ("EMMI"), the London Interbank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") which is provided by the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited ("ICE"), or any other
benchmark, in each case as specified in the applicable Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable
Pricing Supplement). As at the date of this Base Prospectus, both EMMI and ICE are included in the register of
administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks
Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1011) (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). If a benchmark (other than EURIBOR
or LIBOR) is specified in the applicable Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing
Supplement), the applicable Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement) will
indicate whether or not the benchmark is provided by an administrator included in the register of administrators
and benchmarks established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation.
Subject to the provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmarks Regulation, the Issuer is required to utilize indices
provided by a provider which is authorized or recognized by ESMA pursuant to the Benchmarks Regulation in
respect of financial instruments within the scope of the Benchmarks Regulation.
2


The registration status of any administrator under the Benchmarks Regulation is a matter of public record and,
save where required by applicable law, the Issuer does not intend to update the Base Prospectus or any applicable
Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement) to reflect any change in the
registration status of the administrator.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"). The Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to or for the
account or benefit of U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act), except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
The Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United
States or its possessions or to a United States person, except in certain transactions permitted by U.S. tax
regulations. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of
1986 and regulations thereunder (the "Revenue Code").
FMO has been rated 'AAA/Stable/A-1+' by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P") and 'AAA/Stable/F1+'
by Fitch Ratings Limited ("Fitch"). As of the date of this Base Prospectus, S&P and Fitch are established in the
European Union and the United Kingdom and registered under the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of 16 September
2009 on credit rating agencies, as amended (the "CRA Regulation"). Please refer to `General Information' for
more details. A rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension,
change or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.
Series or Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche or Series of
Notes is rated, such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings assigned to the Issuer. A security rating
is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal
at any time by the assigning rating agency. The rating of a certain Series or Tranche of Notes to be issued under
the Programme may be specified in the applicable Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the applicable
Pricing Supplement). Whether or not each credit rating applied for in relation to a relevant Series or Tranche of
Notes will be issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA
Regulation will be disclosed clearly and prominently in the Final Terms (or in the case of Exempt Notes, the
applicable Pricing Supplement). In general, credit institutions as defined in Regulation 575/2013 of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment
firms, as amended (the Capital Requirements Regulation or "CRR"), such as the Issuer, are restricted from using
a rating for regulatory purposes if such rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European
Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit rating agency operating
in the European Union before 7 June 2010 which has submitted an application for registration in accordance with
the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused.

and Subordinated Notes. Subordinated Notes may or may not be specified to

The Senior Preferred Notes of a Series may be intended to qualify as MREL
Eligible Liabilities, as specified in the applicable Final Terms.
If it is specified in the applicable Final Terms that the Senior Preferred Notes
of a Series are intended to qualify as MREL Eligible Liabilities, no Noteholder,
Couponholder and Receiptholder may at any time exercise or claim any right

Subordinated Obligations.
By virtue of such ranking, payments to the Noteholders, Couponholders and
Receiptholders will, in the event of the bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer,
only be made after all claims in respect of unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of the Issuer which do not qualify as Statutory Senior Non-
Preferred Obligations and those obligations preferred by mandatory provisions
of law have been satisfied in full.

Issuer in respect of or arising under the Subordinated Notes not intended to
qualify as Tier 2 Notes and the related Receipts and Coupons (including any
amounts attributable to such Subordinated Notes and any damages awarded for
breach of any obligations thereunder) shall rank (i) pari passu without any
preference among themselves and with all other present and future
subordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (other than any Junior
Subordinated Obligations) and (ii) junior to all Non-Tier 2 Senior Obligations
and (iii) senior to any Non-Tier 2 Junior Subordinated Obligations.
By virtue of such ranking, payments to the Noteholders, Couponholders and
Receiptholders will, in the event of the liquidation or bankruptcy
(faillissement) of the Issuer, only be made after all claims in respect of any
Non-Tier 2 Senior Obligations have been satisfied in full.
Subordinated Notes intended to qualify as Tier 2 Notes

Receipts and Coupons constitute unsecured and subordinated obligations of
the Issuer and rank pari passu without any preference among themselves and

including the Tier 2 Parity Securities.
In the event of a liquidation or bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer any
claims of the Noteholders, Couponholders and Receiptholders against the

attributable to such Subordinated Notes and any damages awarded for breach

Receiptholders will, in the event of the liquidation or bankruptcy
(faillissement) of the Issuer, only be made after all claims in respect of any Tier
2 Senior Obligations have been satisfied in full.
From (and including) the date on which the act or law implementing article
48(7) of Directive 2014/59/EU, as amended (including by way of Directive

2 capital own funds items having a lower priority ranking than any claim that
does not result from a tier 2 capital own funds item within the meaning of, or
as contemplated in, the Implementing Act (and ranking senior to any Tier 1
capital items as referred to in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, as
