INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Control Committee of NIB appointed Authorized Public Accountant Marcus Tötterman,
representing the accounting firm KPMG Oy Ab, Finland, and Authorized Public Accountant Anders
Tagde, representing KPMG AB, Sweden, as its independent joint auditors for the 2017 financial year.
Change of Independent Auditors
In accordance with NIB's audit rotation policy and based on a tender process, the Control
Committee of NIB appointed as its independent joint auditors for NIB for the 2018 financial year
Authorized Public Accountant Terhi Mäkinen, representing the accounting firm Ernst & Young Oy,
Finland, and Authorized Public Accountant Mona Alfredsson, representing the accounting firm Ernst &
Young AB, Sweden. For the financial years 2019 and 2020 NIB reappointed Authorized Public
Accountant Terhi Mäkinen, representing the accounting firm Ernst & Young Oy, Finland, and Authorized
Public Accountant Mona Alfredsson, representing the accounting firm Ernst & Young AB, Sweden, as its
independent joint auditors.
EXPERTS
The financial statements of Nordic Investment Bank for the years ended December 31, 2018 and
December 31, 2019 appearing in Nordic Investment Bank's Annual Reports on Form 18-K/A filed on
February 26, 2019 and February 26, 2020, respectively, have been audited by Ernst & Young Oy, Finland
and Ernst & Young AB, Sweden, independent joint auditors, as set forth in their reports thereon included
therein, and incorporated herein by reference. Such financial statements are incorporated herein by
reference in reliance upon such reports given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and
auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial report of Nordic Investment Bank for the six-
month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 appearing in Amendment No. 2 to Nordic Investment
Bank's Annual Report on Form 18-K/A filed on August 28, 2020, and incorporated herein by reference,
Ernst & Young Oy, Finland and Ernst & Young AB, Sweden, independent joint accounting firms,
reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review
of such information. However, their report dated August 26, 2020 included in Amendment No. 2 to
Nordic Investment Bank's Annual Report on Form 18-K/A filed on August 28, 2020, and incorporated
herein by reference, states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim
financial report. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such interim financial report should
be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Neither Ernst & Young Oy,
Finland nor Ernst & Young AB, Sweden, independent joint accounting firms, is subject to the liability
provisions of Section 11 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") for their
report on the unaudited interim financial report because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, prepared or certified by Ernst & Young Oy,
Finland and Ernst & Young AB, Sweden, independent joint auditors, within the meaning of Sections 7
and 11 of the Securities Act.

2021 relating to the Notes. Each underwriter that is not a registered broker-dealer under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 will make sales in the United States only through underwriters or selling agents

offers and sales of the Notes solely outside of the United States or within the United States to the extent
P-5






permitted by Rules 15a-6 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 through one or more U.S. registered
broker-dealers, and as permitted by the regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

SELLING RESTRICTIONS
Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors
Each of the underwriters has represented and agreed that it has not offered, sold or otherwise
made available and will not offer, sell or otherwise make available any Notes to any retail investor in the
European Economic Area. For the purposes of this provision:
(a)
the expression "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of the following:
(i)
a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as
amended, "MiFID II"); or
(ii)
a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance
Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
Prohibition of Sales to UK 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 United Kingdom ("UK"). For these
purposes:
(a)
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of:
(i)
a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No
2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act
2018 ("EUWA"); or
(ii)
a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the FSMA and any rules or
regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation
(EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it
forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling
the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK
may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

MiFID II AND UK MIFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE
MiFID II Product Governance / Professional Investors And Eligible Counterparties Only Target
Market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is
eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for
distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration
the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
P-7






undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression "manufacturer" means any underwriter that is a
manufacturer under MiFID II.
UK MIFIR Product Governance / Professional Investors And Eligible Counterparties Only Target
Market
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only
eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS"), and
professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue
of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the
Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently
offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product
Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting
or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE
LUXEMBOURG STOCK EXCHANGE LISTING
NIB has obtained all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations in connection with the
issuance and performance of the Notes. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of NIB, dated
December 14, 2006, December 16, 2010, December 10, 2015, April 25, 2017, December 12, 2019 and
November 13, 2020 authorized the issuance of the Notes and related matters.
NIB has applied to list the Notes on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the
rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange pursuant to the Luxembourg Prospectus Act. Copies of the
2004 Agreement and all reports prepared and filed are available at the office of BNP Paribas Securities
Services, Luxembourg Branch, the listing agent in Luxembourg.
So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange,
copies (and English translations for documents not in English) of the following items will be available
free of charge from NIB's listing agent at its offices at 60 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg,
Luxembourg:

all incorporated documents that are considered part of this pricing supplement;

the audited annual financial statements of NIB;

future annual financial reports of NIB; and

any related notes to these items.
During the same period, the Fiscal Agency Agreement will be available for inspection at the
office of BNP Paribas Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch in Luxembourg. NIB will, until the
repayment of the Notes, maintain a paying agent in Luxembourg, which initially will be BNP Paribas
Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch. Payments on book-entry Notes that clear through Euroclear
P-8






and Clearstream, Luxembourg may be effected through the Luxembourg paying agent. BNP Paribas
Securities Services, Luxembourg Branch will also serve as transfer agent in Luxembourg.
If any payment on a Note presented for payment in Luxembourg is due on a day on which
banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to be closed in Luxembourg, such
payment will be made on the next Luxembourg Business Day (a day, other than Saturday or Sunday,
which is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulations to be
closed in Luxembourg). This payment will be treated as if it were made on the due date, and no
additional interest will accrue as a result of this delay.
Notices to holders of the Notes will be made by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the registered
holders. Notices concerning the Notes will also be made by publication in a leading newspaper having
general circulation in Luxembourg (which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort) or by publication on
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's website (www.bourse.lu). In particular, notices relating to any
redemption permitted under the terms of the Notes and relating to interest rates will be notified to the
Luxembourg paying agent and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Any notice will be deemed to have
been given on the date of publication or, if published more than once, on the date of first publication.
NIB is not involved in any litigation or arbitration proceedings relating to claims or amounts
which are material in the context of the issuance of the Notes nor, so far as NIB is aware, is any such
litigation or arbitration pending or threatened. Except as disclosed in this pricing supplement, the
prospectus supplement and the prospectus and the documents considered part of them, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial position or prospects of NIB since December 31, 2019.
UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
For a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase,
ownership and disposition of the Notes, please see "United States Taxation" on page 11 of the
accompanying prospectus.
The discussion under "United States Taxation--U.S. Holders--Book/Tax Conformity" in the
accompanying prospectus is deleted, and the following paragraph shall amend and supersede the fourth
paragraph under "United States Taxation" in the prospectus:
This summary does not discuss all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to you in light of
your particular circumstances (such as the application of the alternative minimum tax and the Medicare
tax on net investment income or consequences arising under special timing rules prescribed under section
451(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code). You should consult your tax adviser about the tax
consequences of holding debt securities, including the relevance to your particular situation of the
considerations discussed below, as well as the relevance to your particular situation of state, local, foreign
or other tax laws.
