Under this Warrants Programme (the "Programme"), ING Belgium International Finance S.A. (the "Issuer") may from time to time issue warrants (the
"Warrants" as more fully defined herein) guaranteed by ING Belgium SA/NV (the "Guarantor").
This Base Prospectus has been approved by the Commission de surveillance du secteur financier (the "CSSF") in Luxembourg for the purposes of the
Prospectus Directive (Directive 2003/71/EC), as amended, to the extent that such amendments have been implemented in the relevant Member State of the European
Economic Area, (the "Prospectus Directive") on 27 June 2014 in respect of the issue by the Issuer of the Warrants.
Warrants to be issued under the Programme during the period of 12 months from the date of this Base Prospectus which are: (i) listed on the official list of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Official List"); (ii) admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (the "Luxembourg
Stock Exchange"); (iii) admitted to trading on another regulated market within the European Economic Area or (iv) admitted to trading on an unregulated market as
defined under Directive 2004/39/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments, are hereinafter referred to as the "PD

Prospectus Directive.
The Issuer may also issue unlisted Warrants and/or Warrants not admitted to trading on any regulated market within the European Economic Area and,
where such Warrants fall within an exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the Prospectus Directive, such Warrants are hereinafter referred to
as "Exempt Warrants".
The CSSF has neither approved nor reviewed information contained in this Base Prospectus in connection with the issue of any Exempt Warrants. The CSSF
assumes no responsibility for the economic or financial soundness of the transactions contemplated by this Base Prospectus or the quality and solvency of the

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME RELATING TO PD WARRANTS
Summaries are made up of disclosure requirements known as "Elements". These elements are
numbered in Sections A to E (A.1 to E.7). This summary contains all the Elements required to be included in a
summary for the Warrants, the Issuer and the Guarantor. Because some Elements are not required to be
addressed, there may be gaps in the numbering sequence of the Elements. Even though an Element may be
required to be inserted in a summary because of the nature of the Warrants, the Issuer and the Guarantor, it is
possible that no relevant information can be given regarding the Element. In this case, a short description of
the Element should be included in the summary with the mention of "Not Applicable".

European Economic Area where the claim is brought, be required to bear

Since 2013, the external environment has continued to have an impact on

operates
economic conditions in the Eurozone improved in the second quarter of
2013 with positive gross domestic product growth and one major risk ­ a
catastrophic break-up of the Eurozone ­ greatly diminished in 2013, the
threat of a prolonged low interest rate environment increased when the
European Central Bank announced in November 2013 a further interest
rate cut to a record low followed by the introduction of a negative interest
rate on deposits in June 2014. While economic growth is recovering
slowly, global equity markets performed strongly in 2013 and the first half
of 2014. However, in emerging market economies, equity indices were
impacted by amongst others, the reduction of expansive monetary
stimulus by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
The operations of the Guarantor are exposed to fluctuations in equity
markets. The Guarantor maintains an internationally diversified and
mainly client-related trading portfolio. Accordingly, market downturns are
6


likely to lead to declines in securities trading and brokerage activities
which it executes for customers and therefore to a decline in related
commissions and trading results. In addition to this, the Guarantor also
maintains equity investments in their own non-trading books. Fluctuations
in equity markets may affect the value of these investments.
The operations of the Guarantor are exposed to fluctuations in interest
rates. The Guarantor's management of interest rate sensitivity affects the
results of its operations. Interest rate sensitivity refers to the relationship
between changes in market interest rates on the one hand and future
interest earnings and economic value of its underlying banking portfolios
on the other hand. Both the composition of the Guarantor's assets and
liabilities and the fact that interest rate changes may affect client
behaviour in a different way than assumed in the Guarantor's internal
models may result in a mismatch which causes the banking longer term
operations' net interest income and trading results to be affected by
changes in interest rates.
The Guarantor is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates. The
Guarantor's management of exchange rate sensitivity affects the results of
its operations through the trading activities for its own account and
because the Guarantor prepares and publishes its consolidated financial
statements in Euros. Because a substantial portion of the Guarantor's
income and expenses is denominated in currencies other than in Euro,
fluctuations in the exchange rates used to translate foreign currencies into
Euros will impact its reported results of operations and cash flows from
year to year. This exposure is mitigated by the fact that realised results in
non-Euro currencies are translated into Euros by monthly hedging.
