SUMMARY RELATING TO NON-EXEMPT PD NOTES
This summary applies only to Non-Exempt PD Notes issued by ING Bank N.V. (the "Global Issuer")
and ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch (the "Australian Issuer").
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 Notes and the Issuers. 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 Notes and the Issuers, 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

Macroeconomic developments in 2014
In 2014, the development trajectories of the US and the UK on the one hand,
and Europe on the other, diverged. The US economy continued to grow steadily
and the Federal Reserve (Fed) was able to end part of its unconventional
monetary policies, the monthly buying of securities (i.e. quantitative easing).
For investors worldwide, one question dominated the picture in the second half
of the year: when would the Fed start raising rates? This is expected sometime
in 2015. The UK also saw healthy economic growth with interest rate increases
expected there in 2015 as well.
Meanwhile in the Eurozone, the recovery remained weak, unstable and uneven.
Persistently low inflation (averaging 0.4 percent in 2014) and worries about
imminent deflation prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to take a series
of unconventional measures. The main refinancing rate was lowered to 0.05
percent in 2014, while the interest rate on deposits held by banks at the ECB
moved into negative territory, to -0.2 percent. The ECB implemented
conditional long-term refinance operations and announced purchase
programmes for covered bonds and asset-backed securities.
The Dutch economy, with its housing market stabilised and domestic demand
no longer acting as a drag on growth, performed slightly better than the
Eurozone average.
Meanwhile the Italian recession continued. The French economy
underperformed while the German economy decelerated as the loss of
momentum in emerging markets, ongoing tensions in eastern Ukraine and
sanctions imposed on and by Russia affected exports. A weakening euro during
2014 was one positive for European exports.
With the European economic recovery still distinctly lacklustre, the last quarter
of 2014 saw the ECB repeatedly allude to possible additional measures in 2015.
Quantitative easing was subsequently announced in January 2015.
Financial markets rallied for most of 2014, with US stock markets reaching
record highs. Yields on US Treasury bonds moved with changing expectations
for the timing of future Fed interest hikes. European stock markets followed the
US upwards, although as the year progressed the effects of the crisis in Ukraine

and the weakness of the European recovery started to weigh more on markets.
European bond yields fell and spreads between European sovereigns decreased
in line with ECB policy.
Progress on regulatory initiatives that are most relevant to ING Bank N.V.
(including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch)
November 2014, saw the start of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).
The ECB took over responsibility for the supervision of the major European
banks. The ECB had already prepared the ground with a comprehensive
assessment of all supervised banks to test the stability of the financial system in
stressed conditions.
In 2014, agreement was also reached on the Single Resolution Mechanism
(SRM) consisting of a Single Resolution Board (SRB) and a Single Resolution
Fund (SRF). The SRM will apply to banks covered by the SSM to ensure an
orderly resolution of failing banks within the Eurozone.
The Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV) came into force on 1 January
2014. This, and later refinements, implemented European regulation on capital,
liquidity and other aspects such as remuneration. Broadly speaking, CRD IV is
an essential step towards a single rule book in the European Union.
The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) also came into effect in
2014. This requires European banks and authorities to put recovery and
resolution plans in place and mandates the establishment of national resolution
funds to be financed by banks.
In 2014, EU agreement was reached regarding a revision of the Deposit
Guarantee Scheme (DGS) directive. EU Member States are obliged to build up
ex-ante deposit guarantee funds of an (in principle) minimum target size of 0.8
percent of covered deposits in 10 years. Banks' contributions will be risk based
taking into account EBA guidance. The DGS directive will be applicable as of
2015 and ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) will start
to contribute to the Dutch DGS fund as of mid-2015.
Further, there have been various regulatory developments that impact the
product offerings and therefore the customers of ING Bank N.V. (including ING
Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) directly, currently or in future years. Other
important reforms in this regard seek to enhance an efficient and competitive
internal market for consumers by removing barriers to cross-border activity and
promoting a level playing field between providers, e.g. the European Mortgages
Credit Directive. Besides this, the improvement of the European payments
market also remains an important objective, and is addressed by the Payments
Services Directive II.
Finally, the Dutch Parliament has approved the introduction of the Banker's
Oath, a set of principles that reconfirms the industry's commitment to ethical
behaviour. From 1 January 2015, it includes a disciplinary sanction mechanism
for all Netherlands-based employees. Oath taking has been a requirement
already for Members of the Executive and Supervisory Boards since 1 January
2013. The adopted legislation extends this to all internal and external employees
working in The Netherlands who have a contract of employment with ING

Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch).
Fluctuations in equity markets
The operations of ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch)
are exposed to fluctuations in equity markets. ING Bank N.V. (including ING
Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) maintains an internationally diversified and mainly
client-related trading portfolio. Accordingly, market downturns are 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, ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney
Branch) also maintains equity investments in its own non-trading books.
Fluctuations in equity markets may affect the value of these investments.
Fluctuations in interest rates
The operations of ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch)
are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Mismatches in the interest repricing
and maturity profile of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet of ING Bank
N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) can affect the future interest
earnings and economic value of the underlying banking operations of ING Bank
N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch). In addition, changing interest
rates may impact the (assumed) behaviour of our customers, impacting the
interest rate exposure, interest hedge positions and future interest earnings,
solvency and economic value of the underlying banking operations of ING
Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch). In the current low (and
potentially negative) interest rate environment in the Eurozone, the stability of
future interest earnings and margin also depends on the ability to actively
manage pricing of customer assets and liabilities. Especially, the pricing of
customer savings portfolios in relation to repricing customer assets and other
investments in the balance sheet is a key factor in the management of the
interest earnings of ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch).
Fluctuations in exchange rates
ING Bank N.V. (including ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) is exposed to
fluctuations in exchange rates. The management by ING Bank N.V. (including
ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) of exchange rate sensitivity affects the results
of its operations through the trading activities for its own account and because it
prepares and publishes its consolidated financial statements in euros. Because a
substantial portion of the income and expenses of ING Bank N.V. (including
ING Bank N.V., Sydney Branch) is denominated in currencies other than euros,
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 hedged back to euros on a monthly basis.
