(Incorporated in the Netherlands with limited liability and having its statutory domicile in

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 applicable 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 6 June 2024, at the latest. The
obligation by the Issuer to supplement this Base Prospectus, in the event of significant new factors, material
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, as amended ("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.
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 euro short-term rate
("STR") which is provided by the European Central Bank, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")
which is provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA")
which is provided by the Bank of England, 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, EMMI is included in the register of administrators and benchmarks established and maintained by
ESMA (the "Benchmarks Register") pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation (Regulation (EU)
2016/1011) (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). 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.
If a benchmark (other than EURIBOR) 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
Benchmarks Register. The Issuer is required to utilize indices provided by a provider which is authorized or
2





recognized by ESMA pursuant to the Benchmarks Regulation in respect of financial instruments within the scope
of the Benchmarks Regulation.
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 Ireland Limited ("Fitch"). As of the date of this Base Prospectus, S&P and Fitch are established
in the European Union and registered under the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 of 16 September 2009 on credit
rating agencies, as amended (the "EU CRA Regulation"). As such, as of the date of this Base Prospectus, each of
S&P and Fitch is included in the list of credit rating agencies published by the ESMA on its website (at
http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) in accordance with the EU CRA
Regulation. Neither Fitch nor S&P is established in the United Kingdom, but it is part of a group in respect of
which one of its undertakings is (i) established in the United Kingdom and (ii) is registered in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018, as amended (the "EUWA") (the "UK CRA Regulation"). The Issuer ratings have been issued by Fitch
and S&P in accordance with the EU CRA Regulation and have not been withdrawn. As such, the ratings Fitch and
S&P may be used for regulatory purposes in the United Kingdom in accordance with the UK 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 if,
in its judgement, circumstances in the future so warrant.
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 EU CRA
Regulation or established in the United Kingdom and registered under the UK 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 (EU) 575/2013, as amended (the "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 EU 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 EU CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused.

7





Partly Paid Notes:
The Issuer may issue Notes in respect of which the issue price is paid in
separate instalments in such amounts and on such dates as specified in the
applicable Final Terms.

Status of the Notes:
The Notes may either be Senior Preferred Notes, Senior Non-Preferred Notes
and Subordinated Notes. Subordinated Notes may or may not be specified to
be Tier 2 Notes in the applicable Final Terms.

Senior Preferred Notes

The Senior Preferred Notes and the related Receipts and Coupons constitute
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu
without any preference among themselves and with all other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer save for (i) those
preferred by mandatory and/or overriding provisions of law and (ii) (in the
event of the bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer only) the Statutory Senior
Non-Preferred Obligations.

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
of set-off or netting in respect of any amount owed to it by the Issuer arising
under or in connection with such Senior Preferred Notes, Coupons and
Receipts. To the extent that any Noteholder, Couponholder or Receiptholder
nevertheless claims a right of set-off or netting in respect of any such amount,
whether by operation of law or otherwise, and irrespective of whether the set-
off or netting is effective under any applicable law, such holder shall
immediately transfer to the Issuer an amount equal to the amount which
purportedly has been set off or netted (such a transfer, a "Set-off Repayment")
and no rights can be derived from the relevant Senior Preferred Notes, Coupons
or Receipts until the Issuer has received in full the relevant Set-off Repayment
and accordingly any such set-off or netting shall be deemed not to have taken
place. Irrespective of any other set-off or netting agreement providing
otherwise, the (im)possibility of any set-off or netting by a Noteholder,
Couponholder or Receiptholder shall be exclusively governed by Dutch law.

Senior Non-Preferred Notes

The Senior Non-Preferred Notes and the related Receipts and Coupons
constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer which have
a lower ranking within the meaning of Article 212rb of the Dutch Bankruptcy
Act (Faillissementswet) (or any other provision implementing Article 108 of
Directive 2014/59/EU, as amended by Directive (EU) 2017/2399, in the
Netherlands) and rank pari passu without any preference among themselves
and with all other present and future obligations of the Issuer qualifying as
Statutory Senior Non-Preferred Obligations, save for those obligations
preferred by mandatory and/or overriding provisions of law.

In the event of a liquidation or bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer any
claims of the Noteholders, Couponholders and Receiptholders against the
Issuer in respect of or arising under the Senior Non-Preferred Notes and the
related Receipts and Coupons (including any amounts attributable to the Senior
Non-Preferred 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 obligations of the Issuer qualifying as
Statutory Senior Non-Preferred Obligations save for those obligations
preferred by mandatory and/or overriding provisions of law, (ii) in the event of
8





the bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer only, junior to any present and
future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer which do not
qualify as Statutory Senior Non-Preferred Obligations, including the claims of
creditors arising from excluded liabilities of the Issuer pursuant to Article
72a(2) of the CRR, and (iii) senior to any 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, including the claims of creditors arising from excluded
liabilities of the Issuer Pursuant to Article 72a(2) of the CRR, and those
obligations preferred by mandatory and/or overriding provisions of law have
been satisfied in full.

The Senior Non-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 of set-off or netting in respect of any amount owed to it by the
Issuer arising under or in connection with the Senior Non-Preferred Notes,
Coupons and Receipts. To the extent that any Noteholder, Couponholder or
Receiptholder nevertheless claims a right of set-off or netting in respect of any
such amount, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and irrespective of
whether the set-off or netting is effective under any applicable law, such holder
shall immediately transfer to the Issuer an amount equal to the amount which
purportedly has been set off or netted (such a transfer, a "Set-off Repayment")
and no rights can be derived from the relevant Senior Non-Preferred Notes,
Coupons or Receipts until the Issuer has received in full the relevant Set-off
Repayment and accordingly any such set-off or netting shall be deemed not to
have taken place. Irrespective of any other set-off or netting agreement
providing otherwise, the (im)possibility of any set-off or netting by a
Noteholder, Couponholder or Receiptholder shall be exclusively governed by
Dutch law.

Subordinated Notes

The Subordinated Notes and the related Receipts and Coupons constitute
unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The rights and claims of
the holders of the Subordinated Notes and the related Receipts and Coupons
are subordinated as described below.

Subject to exceptions provided by mandatory applicable law (including as
provided pursuant to Section 212rf of the Dutch Bankruptcy Code
(Faillissementswet)), the rights and claims (if any) of the holders of the
Subordinated Notes to payment under the Subordinated Notes in respect of the
principal amount of the Subordinated Notes shall in the event of a liquidation
or bankruptcy (faillissement) rank (i) pari passu without any preference among
themselves and with all other present and future Tier 2 own funds instruments
of the Issuer, including any Tier 2 Parity Securities, and (ii) junior to all Tier 2
Senior Obligations (in accordance with Section 212rf of the Dutch Bankruptcy
Act (Faillissementswet)) and (iii) senior to any Tier 2 Junior Subordinated
Obligations.

The Subordinated Notes of a Series are intended to qualify and to be treated as
Tier 2 capital for the purposes of the regulatory capital rules applicable to the
Issuer from time to time or as MREL Eligible Liabilities. Subordinated Notes
intended to qualify as Tier 2 Notes rank junior to Subordinated Notes that no
longer qualify as Tier 2 Notes.

9





Any Receipts and Coupons relating to the Subordinated Notes shall in the case
of (i) the bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer or (ii) liquidation rank above
own funds and pari passu without any preference among themselves subject
to Article 212rf of the Dutch Bankruptcy Code (Faillissementswet).

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 Tier
2 Senior Obligations have been satisfied in full.

No set-off or netting in respect of Subordinated Notes

No Noteholder, Couponholder and Receiptholder may at any time exercise or
claim any right of set-off or netting in respect of any amount owed to it by the
Issuer arising under or in connection with the Subordinated Notes, Coupons
and Receipts. To the extent that any Noteholder, Couponholder or
Receiptholder nevertheless claims a right of set-off or netting in respect of any
such amount, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and irrespective of
whether the set-off or netting is effective under any applicable law, such holder
shall immediately transfer to the Issuer an amount equal to the amount which
purportedly has been set off or netted (such a transfer, a "Set-off Repayment")
and no rights can be derived from the relevant Subordinated Notes, Coupons
or Receipts until the Issuer has received in full the relevant Set-off Repayment
and accordingly any such set-off or netting shall be deemed not to have taken
place. Irrespective of any other set-off or netting agreement providing
otherwise, the (im)possibility of any set-off or netting by a Noteholder,
Couponholder or Receiptholder shall be exclusively governed by Dutch law.
