Euro Medium Term Note Programme
On 20 June 2002, Emirates Bank International PJSC ("EBI") entered into a U.S.$1,000,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the "Programme"). On 19 January 2005,
the maximum aggregate nominal amount of Notes which may be outstanding under the Programme was increased from U.S.$1,000,000,000 to U.S.$3,500,000,000 and on 19
April 2007 such maximum aggregate nominal amount was further increased to U.S.$7,500,000,000. On 21 November 2009, EBI was legally amalgamated with Emirates NBD
Bank PJSC ("ENBD" or the "Bank"). As a result of the amalgamation, all of the assets and liabilities of EBI were transferred to ENBD, EBI was dissolved and ENBD is now
considered to be the issuer of the Notes issued by EBI prior to the date hereof. Any Notes (as defined below) issued under the Programme are issued subject to the provisions set
out herein. This does not affect any Notes issued prior to the date hereof.
Under the Programme, ENBD and Emirates NBD Global Funding Limited ("EGF" and, together with ENBD in its capacity as issuer, the "Issuers" and each an "Issuer") may
from time to time issue notes (the "Notes") denominated in any currency agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (as defined below).
Notes issued by EGF will be guaranteed (the "Guarantee") by ENBD as guarantor (the "Guarantor") on the terms and as described in "The Guarantee".
References to "the relevant Obligor(s)" shall, in the case of any issue of Notes, mean the relevant Issuer and, if the relevant Issuer is EGF, the Guarantor.
The maximum aggregate nominal amount of all Notes from time to time outstanding under the Programme will not exceed U.S.$12,500,000,000 (or its equivalent in other
currencies calculated as described herein), subject to increase as described herein.
The Notes may be issued on a continuing basis to one or more of the Dealers specified under "General Description of the Programme" and any additional Dealer appointed under
the Programme from time to time by the Issuers (each a "Dealer" and together the "Dealers"), which appointment may be for a specific issue or on an ongoing basis. References
in this base prospectus (the "Base Prospectus") to the "relevant Dealer" shall, in the case of an issue of Notes being (or intended to be) subscribed by more than one Dealer, be
to all Dealers agreeing to subscribe for such Notes. An investment in Notes issued under the Programme involves certain risks. For a discussion of these risks see "Risk
Factors" on pages 2 to 20.
Application has been made to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (the "CSSF") in its capacity as competent authority under the Luxembourg Act dated 10 July
2005 on prospectuses for securities (the "Luxembourg Law") to approve this document as a base prospectus. By approving this Base Prospectus the CSSF assumes no
responsibility as to the economic and financial soundness of the Programme or in respect of the quality or solvency of ENBD or EGF pursuant to Article 7(7) of the Luxembourg

for the purposes of Article 14 of the DFSA's Markets Law 2012. Application has also been made to the DFSA for certain Notes issued under the Programme during the period of
12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus to be admitted to the official list of securities (the "DFSA Official List") maintained by the DFSA and to Nasdaq Dubai for such
Notes to be admitted to trading on Nasdaq Dubai.
References in this Base Prospectus to Notes being "listed"(and all related references) shall mean that: (i) such Notes have been admitted to listing on the Official List and admitted
to trading on the Regulated Market which is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and/or (ii) such Notes have been admitted
to trading on Nasdaq Dubai and have been admitted to the Official List of securities maintained by the DFSA.

liability for the content of this Base Prospectus lies with each of ENBD and EGF. The DFSA has also not assessed the suitability of the Notes to which this Base Prospectus relates

relevant Obligor and the relevant Dealer. The Issuers may also issue unlisted Notes and/or Notes not admitted to trading on any market.
The rating of certain Tranches of Notes to be issued under the Programme and the credit rating agency issuing such rating may be specified in the applicable Final Terms. ENBD

or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has

Summary of Alternative Performance Measures
The list below presents "Alternative Performance Measures" as defined in the European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines ("ESMA Guidelines") on Alternative
Performance Measures. These financial measures presented by ENBD in this Base Prospectus provide useful supplementary information to both investors and ENBD's
management, as they facilitate the evaluation of company performance and should be read in conjunction with ENBD's financial statements incorporated by reference into this
Base Prospectus. The basis of calculating these performance measures along with the rationale for including them is explained below but it is to be noted that, since not all
companies calculate financial measurements in the same manner, these are not always comparable to measurements used by other companies:

"Dirham" and "AED" refer to United Arab Emirates Dirham, to "TRY" refer to Turkish lira, to "euro" and
"" refer to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union
pursuant to the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended and all references to "CNY",

All references in this document to "ISDA Definitions" refer to the 2006 ISDA Definitions, as published by

This Base Prospectus includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of
historical facts included in this Base Prospectus may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may",
"will", "expect", "intend", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "continue" or similar terminology. Although
EGF and ENBD believe that the expectations reflected in their forward-looking statements are reasonable
at this time, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.
The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential
investor should:
(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in
this Base Prospectus or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, 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 Notes,
including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency
for principal or interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms of the Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
indices and financial markets; and
(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
Some Notes are complex financial instruments. Sophisticated institutional investors generally do not
purchase complex financial instruments as stand-alone investments. They purchase complex financial
instruments as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in Notes which are complex financial
instruments unless it has the expertise (either alone or with a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes
will perform under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this
investment will have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain
investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities.
Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (a) Notes
are legal investments for it, (b) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing, and (c) other
restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal
advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable
risk based capital or similar rules.

STABILISATION
IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUE OF ANY TRANCHE OF NOTES, ONE OR MORE
DEALERS (THE "STABILISATION MANAGER(S)") (OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF
OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S)) MAY OVER-ALLOT NOTES OR EFFECT
TRANSACTIONS WITH A VIEW TO SUPPORTING THE MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES
DURING THE STABILISATION PERIOD AT A LEVEL HIGHER THAN THAT WHICH
MIGHT OTHERWISE PREVAIL. HOWEVER, STABILISATION MAY NOT OCCUR. ANY
STABILISATION ACTION MAY BEGIN ON OR AFTER THE DATE ON WHICH ADEQUATE
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF THE FINAL TERMS OF THE OFFER OF THE RELEVANT
TRANCHE OF NOTES IS MADE AND, IF BEGUN, MAY CEASE AT ANY TIME, BUT IT MUST
END NO LATER THAN THE EARLIER OF 30 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE DATE OF THE
RELEVANT TRANCHE AND 60 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF THE ALLOTMENT OF THE
RELEVANT TRANCHE OF NOTES. ANY STABILISATION ACTION OR OVER-ALLOTMENT
MUST BE CONDUCTED BY THE RELEVANT STABILISATION MANAGER(S) (OR PERSONS
ON BEHALF OF ANY STABILISATION MANAGER(S)) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL
APPLICABLE LAWS AND RULES.
MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance"
which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution
of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a
"distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject
to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of any Notes (by
either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the Product
Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID Product Governance Rules"),
any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the
Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the
MiFID Product Governance Rules.
IMPORTANT EEA RETAIL INVESTORS
If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes include a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail
Investors", the Notes 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 ("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; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as
amended or superseded), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point
(10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 309B(1)(C) OF THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT
(CHAPTER 289) OF SINGAPORE (AS MODIFIED OR AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME,
THE "SFA")
In connection with Section 309B of the SFA and the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products)
Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"), unless otherwise specified before an offer
of Notes, the Issuer has determined, and hereby notifies all relevant persons (as defined in Section 309A(1)
of the SFA), that the Notes are "prescribed capital markets products" (as defined in the CMP Regulations
2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of
Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

RISK FACTORS
Each of the Obligors believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations in
respect of the Notes issued under the Programme or under the Guarantee, as the case may be. All of these
factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and neither Obligor is in a position to express a
view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with the
Notes issued under the Programme are also described below.
If any of the risks described below actually materialise, the relevant Issuer's and/or the Group's (as defined
herein) business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could be materially and adversely
affected. If that were to occur, the trading price of the Notes could decline and investors could lose all or
part of their investment.
Each of the Obligors believes that the factors described below represent all the material risks inherent in
investing in the Notes issued under the Programme, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal
or other amounts on or in connection with any Notes may occur for other reasons which may not be
considered significant risks by the Issuer based on information currently available to them or which they
may not currently be able to anticipate. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set
out elsewhere in this Base Prospectus and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.
Factors that may affect EGF's ability to fulfil its obligations in respect of Notes issued under the
Programme
EGF has no material assets
At the date of this Base Prospectus, EGF is an exempted company with limited liability, incorporated under
the laws of the Cayman Islands on 3 July 2009. EGF will not engage in any business activity other than the
issuance of Notes under this Programme and other borrowing programmes established from time to time
by ENBD, the issuance of shares in its capital and other activities incidental or related to the foregoing.
EGF is not expected to have any income except payments received from ENBD, which will be the only
material sources of funds available to meet the claims of the Noteholders. As a result, EGF is subject to all
of the risks to which ENBD is subject, to the extent that such risk could limit ENBD's ability to satisfy in
full and on a timely basis its obligations to EGF under the Programme.
As EGF is a Cayman Islands company, it may not be possible for Noteholders to effect service of process
outside of the Cayman Islands.
Factors that may affect ENBD's ability to, in its capacity as Issuer, fulfil its obligations in respect of
Notes issued under the Programme and to, in its capacity as Guarantor, fulfil its obligations under
the Guarantee
Risks relating to the business of ENBD
In the course of its business activities, ENBD is exposed to a variety of risks, the most significant of which
are market risks, liquidity risks, credit risks and operational risks. Difficult macro-economic and financial
market conditions have affected and could continue to materially adversely affect ENBD's business.
Market risks
ENBD is exposed to diverse financial instruments including fixed income products, foreign currencies,
equities and commodities and deals in both physical as well as cash and derivative instruments. Market risk
is the risk that the value of financial instruments in the Group's inventories (with the inclusion of some
other financial assets and liabilities) will produce a loss because of changes in future market conditions.
ENBD, in common with other financial institutions, is susceptible to changes in the macroeconomic
environment and the performance of financial markets generally. Dubai enjoys a relatively diverse
economy, and the three biggest sectors are trading, transport and storage and financial services and
insurance (comprising 26.4 per cent., 12.3 per cent. and 10.2 per cent., respectively, of Dubai's GDP at
constant prices in the first quarter of 2018 (according to preliminary estimates by the Dubai Statistics
Centre)). However any significant impact on international oil prices may have a negative impact on regional
