APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
The Treaty on European Union aims to establish an internal market that works for the sustainable development
of Europe. Ensuring an appropriate regulatory environment is a priority area of the EU's Capital Markets Union. The
European Commission's Action Plan on "Financing Sustainable Growth" has been designed to help reorient capital
flows towards sustainable investment.
For this purpose, Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 18, 2020 on
the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment (the "EU Taxonomy Regulation") aims to
stimulate companies to measure the impact of their activities on sustainable objectives via the development of a shared
understanding of sustainability. The EU Taxonomy Regulation underlines that the European Union is committed to
the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the "Agenda"), notably to
taking on board in all actions and policy initiatives the Agenda's Sustainable Development Goals.
The task of the EIB is to contribute to the balanced and steady development of the internal market in the interest
of the European Union. In July 2007, in congruence with the EU Energy Action Plan, the EIB issued the first Climate
Awareness Bond (CAB) with a focus on renewable energy and energy efficiency. The goal was to increase
accountability of disbursements via precise eligibility criteria and to provide transparent impact assessment to capital
markets.
Sustainability Awareness Bonds (SABs) complement CABs by extending the same approach from climate to
further areas of environmental and social sustainability. The proceeds of the Notes will be allocated to the EIB's
lending to activities contributing to sustainability objectives in line with evolving EU sustainable finance legislation,
including the EU Taxonomy Regulation, e.g. those included in the EU Taxonomy Regulation at this stage:
·
sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources;
·
transition to a circular economy;
·
pollution prevention and control; and
·
protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.
Sustainability objectives and activities are subject to revision in the context of EU legislative developments. Such
revisions will not be notified to any holders of the Notes.
The net proceeds of $995,500,000 from the sale of the Notes (which proceeds may be converted into euro) will
be allocated within the EIB's treasury to a sub-portfolio of the operational money market portfolio. So long as the
Notes are outstanding, the balance of the sub-portfolio will be reduced by amounts matching disbursements made to
eligible lending projects. Pending such disbursement, the sub-portfolio will be invested in money market instruments.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES
The following description of the particular terms of the 0.625% Notes due 2027 offered hereby (the "Notes",
referred to in the accompanying prospectus as the "Securities") supplements, and to the extent, if any, inconsistent
therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and provisions to the Securities set forth in the accompanying
prospectus to which description reference is hereby made. Such descriptions do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Fiscal Agency Agreement, copies of which are available for inspection
at the Fiscal Agent's office at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom,
and to the form of Global Note filed by the EIB with the SEC.
S-7

General
The Notes will be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 (the "Fiscal Agency
Agreement", as described in the accompanying prospectus), between the EIB and Citibank, N.A., London Branch, as
fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent").
Interest will be paid on the Notes at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and will be
payable April 21 and October 21 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), with the initial payment on April
21, 2021. The Notes will bear interest from October 21, 2020. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund or to
redemption prior to maturity. Registration or transfer of Notes will be effected without charge to the holders thereof.
If any Interest Payment Date or the maturity date is a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated
by law to close in New York or in a place of payment, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on that
Interest Payment Date or the maturity date. The EIB may make the required payment on the next succeeding day that
is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York or in the place of
payment. The payment will be made with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or maturity
date and no additional interest shall accrue for the period from the Interest Payment Date or maturity date to the date
of actual payment.
Payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes made at the offices of the Fiscal Agent or any paying agent
shall be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto. Consequently, neither the
EIB nor any paying agent will make any additional payment in the event of a withholding tax being required in respect
of any payment under or in connection with the Notes. Neither the EIB nor any paying agent shall be liable to any
holder of the Notes or other person for commissions, costs, losses or expenses in relation to or resulting from such
payments. In addition to the Notes, the EIB may issue from time to time other series of securities under the Fiscal
Agency Agreement consisting of notes, bonds, debentures or other unsecured evidences of indebtedness.
The Fiscal Agent will be responsible for:
maintaining a record of the aggregate holdings of Notes;
ensuring that payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes received by the Fiscal Agent from the
EIB are duly credited to the holders of the Notes; and
transmitting to the EIB any notices from the holders of the Notes.
The Notes shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except
with respect to authorization and execution by the EIB which shall be governed by the Statute of the EIB (the
"Statute") set forth in a Protocol annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended or
supplemented from time to time (the "Treaty").
Payment of Principal and Interest
Interest will be payable to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the date
that is ten calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date. The principal of and interest on the Notes will be paid
in such coin or currency of the United States as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts. The EIB may change or terminate the designation of paying agents from time to time. Payments of
principal and interest at such agencies will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including any withholding
or other taxes, and will be effected by check, or, under certain circumstances, by transfer to an existing United States
dollar account maintained by such holder with a bank in New York City. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months unadjusted.
The EIB will redeem the Notes on October 21, 2027 at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued but unpaid
interest to date.
S-8

The EIB shall have the right at any time to purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Any Notes so
purchased may be resold at the EIB's discretion if not surrendered to the Fiscal Agent for cancellation.
The Fiscal Agent is not a trustee for the holders of the Notes and does not have the same responsibilities or duties
to act for such holders as would a trustee.
The Notes will be sold in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
Further Issues
The EIB may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and issue
further notes ranking pari passu with the Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the payment of interest
accruing prior to the issue date of such further notes or except for the first payment of interest following the issue date
of such further notes) and such further notes shall be consolidated and form a single series with the Notes and shall
have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes.
Notices
All notices will be published in English in London in the Financial Times, in New York in The Wall Street Journal
(Eastern Edition) and, so long as any of the Notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that
Exchange so require, on the website of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange at http://www.bourse.lu. If at any time
publication in any such newspaper is not practicable, notices will be valid if published in an English language
newspaper with general circulation in the respective market regions as determined by the EIB. Any such notice shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once on different dates, on
the first date on which publication is made.
Regarding the Fiscal Agent
Citibank, N.A., London Branch will be acting in its capacity as Fiscal Agent through its office located at Citigroup
Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB, United Kingdom.

S-9

UNDERWRITERS
Under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement dated October 14, 2020 (the
"Underwriting Agreement"), the underwriters named below (the "Underwriters") have severally agreed to purchase,
and the EIB has agreed to sell to them, severally, the respective principal amount of the Notes set forth opposite their
respective names below:
Principal Amount
Name
of Notes
Barclays Bank PLC ................................................................................
$250,000,000
CIBC World Markets Corp. ....................................................................
$250,000,000
J.P. Morgan Securities plc ......................................................................
$250,000,000
The Toronto-Dominion Bank .................................................................
$250,000,000

$1,000,000,000

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of
the Notes are subject to, among other things, the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and certain other
conditions. The Underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all the Notes if any are taken.
The Underwriters propose initially to offer the Notes to the public at the public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus supplement.
In order to facilitate the offering of the Notes, Barclays Bank PLC (or any person acting for it) as lead stabilization
agent (the "Lead Stabilization Agent") may over-allot the Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no assurance
that the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person acting for it) will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization
action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes is
made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date
of the Notes and 60 days after the date of allotment of the Notes. Any stabilization action or over-allotment of the
Notes must be conducted by the Lead Stabilization Agent (or any person acting for it) in accordance with all applicable
laws and rules.
Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates engage in transactions with, and perform services for, the EIB in
the ordinary course of business and have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and
investment transactions with the EIB. In addition, as a result of upfront payments that may be made by certain of the
Underwriters in connection with some of the costs incurred by the EIB in relation to issuance of the Notes, the actual
net amounts received by such Underwriters may be lower than the Underwriters' discounts and commissions set forth
in this prospectus supplement.
The Notes are offered for sale in those jurisdictions in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and elsewhere
where it is lawful to make such offers.
Each of the Underwriters has represented and agreed that it and each of its affiliates has not and will not offer,
sell or deliver any of the Notes directly or indirectly, or distribute this prospectus supplement or the prospectus or any
other offering material relating to the Notes, in or from any jurisdiction except under circumstances that will result in
compliance with the applicable laws and regulations thereof and that will not impose any obligations on the EIB except
as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
In particular, each Underwriter has represented and agreed that:
(i) it and each of its affiliates has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only
communicate or cause to be communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within
the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA")) received by it in
S-10
