This pricing supplement should be read together with the accompanying prospectus supplement dated November 18, 2016 setting forth
information relating to U.S. dollar-denominated global notes, the accompanying prospectus dated November 18, 2016, and the documents
incorporated herein by reference. See "Incorporation by Reference" in this pricing supplement. These documents taken together are herein referred
to as the "disclosure document." The documents incorporated herein by reference contain information regarding KfW, the Federal Republic of
Germany and other matters. Further information concerning KfW and the notes offered hereby may be found in the registration statement
(Registration Statement No. 333-214613) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933
relating to our debt securities described in the prospectus.
If the information in this pricing supplement differs from the information contained in the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/821533/000104746917000155/a2230646z424b5.htm[1/12/2017 11:15:00 AM]

you should rely on the information in this pricing supplement.
The disclosure document fulfills the requirements for a simplified prospectus pursuant to Chapter 2 of Part III of the Luxembourg Prospectus
Act. It does not constitute a prospectus pursuant to Part II of the Luxembourg Prospectus Act, which transforms Directive 2003/71/EC (the
"Prospectus Directive") into law in Luxembourg. Accordingly, the disclosure document does not purport to meet the format and the disclosure
requirements of the Prospectus Directive and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 implementing the Prospectus Directive, and it has not
been, and will not be, submitted for approval to any competent authority within the meaning of the Prospectus Directive. The notes issued pursuant
to the disclosure document will therefore not qualify for the benefit of the single European passport pursuant to the Prospectus Directive.
The Luxembourg Stock Exchange takes no responsibility for the content of the disclosure document, makes no representations as to its accuracy
or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability for any loss arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of the
disclosure document. KfW accepts full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure document, and confirms, having
made all reasonable inquiries, that to the best of its knowledge and belief there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement
herein misleading in any material respect.
You should rely only on the information provided in the disclosure document. We have not authorized anyone else to provide you with different
information. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the
information contained in the disclosure document is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of each document forming part of the
disclosure document or, with respect to information incorporated by reference, as of the date of such information.

For historical information regarding exchange rates between euro and U.S. dollars, see KfW's annual report on Form 18-K, as amended, which

In connection with this offering of notes, The Toronto-Dominion Bank or any person acting for it 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 Toronto-Dominion Bank or any person acting for it will undertake stabilization action. Any stabilization
action may begin at any time after the adequate public disclosure of the final terms of the offer of the notes and, if begun, may be ended at
any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the closing date and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the notes.
Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by The Toronto-Dominion Bank or any person acting for it in accordance
with all applicable laws and rules.

The SEC and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange allow us to "incorporate by reference" into this pricing supplement and the accompanying
prospectus supplement and prospectus the information in documents that we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information
to you by referring to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of the information provided to you, and
information that we file later with the SEC and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in each case to the extent it stipulates that it is to be incorporated
by reference, will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents and any amendments to them
filed with the SEC and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange until completion of this offering. For a list, see "Where You Can Find More Information"
in the accompanying prospectus.
We will provide, without charge, to each person to whom a copy of this pricing supplement has been delivered, upon the request of such person,
a copy of any or all of the documents deemed to be incorporated herein by reference unless such documents have been modified or superseded as
specified above. Requests for such documents should be directed to KfW at its office at Palmengartenstraße 5-9, D-60325 Frankfurt am Main. In
addition, such documents will be available free of charge from The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., 2-4 rue Eugene Ruppert, L-2453
Luxembourg. See "General Information--Further Information" in this pricing supplement. You may also request a copy of these filings at no cost by

USE OF PROCEEDS

Table of Contents
TERMS OF THE NOTES
The following description of the particular terms and conditions of the notes offered hereby (referred to as the "notes" in this pricing
supplement and the accompanying prospectus supplement and as the "securities" in the accompanying prospectus) supplements, and to the extent
inconsistent therewith replaces, the description of the general terms and conditions of notes set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement
and prospectus, to which description reference is hereby made. The description of the terms and conditions below (with the exception of certain
explanatory text designated by italics) is substantially the same as the legally binding English language text thereof and is qualified in its entirety by
reference thereto. A copy of the form of conditions has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement.
General Provisions
Aggregate Principal Amount and Denomination. The notes will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of five billion U.S. dollars
($5,000,000,000), divided into five million notes in the denomination of $1,000 each, which will rank equally among themselves.
Global Certificates, Notes and Form. The notes will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates without interest coupons (the
"global certificates"). The global certificates will be kept in custody by The Bank of New York Mellon, New York, also known as BNY Mellon, or
any successor, as custodian for DTC until all of our obligations under the notes have been satisfied. The global certificates will be issued in
registered form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, also known as the registered holder, recorded in a register kept by the registrar (as
defined under "--Registrar and Paying Agent") and represent the notes credited to accounts maintained with DTC by financial institutions that are
participants in DTC. Each person ultimately holding a note is referred to herein as a "noteholder." Each global certificate will be manually signed by
two of our authorized representatives and manually authenticated by or on behalf of the registrar. Copies of the global certificates will be available
free of charge at the paying agent (as defined under "--Registrar and Paying Agent"). Definitive certificates and interest coupons for individual
notes will not be issued, unless DTC is unable or unwilling to continue providing its services and a successor securities depository is not obtained. In
such a case, a noteholder may request the issue of definitive certificates representing its individual notes and corresponding interest coupons (see
"Clearing and Settlement--The Clearing Systems--DTC" in the accompanying prospectus supplement).
Transfer. The notes may be transferred through DTC or its participants. Transfers of notes will require appropriate entries in securities
accounts as described in further detail under "Clearing and Settlement--Transfers" in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
Status
The notes will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of KfW and will rank equally with all of our other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, but subject to any applicable mandatory statutory exceptions.
Interest
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/821533/000104746917000155/a2230646z424b5.htm[1/12/2017 11:15:00 AM]

Interest Rate and Due Dates. The notes will bear interest at the rate of 2.125% per year as from January 18, 2017. The notes will cease to
bear interest upon the end of the day preceding the day on which they become due for redemption. Interest is payable, subject to the last two
sentences of this subsection, in two equal semi-annual installments in arrears on March 7 and September 7. The first interest payment, which will be
for the period commencing on January 18, 2017 (inclusive) and ending on September 7, 2017 (exclusive), will be due on September 7, 2017. The
interest amount for this period will total $67,586,805.56 for the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000,000.
Late Payment. Should we fail to redeem the notes on the due date therefor, interest on the notes will, subject to the provisions with respect to
business days (as defined under "--Payments--Business Days" in this pricing supplement), accrue beyond the due date until actual redemption of
the notes at the default rate of interest established by law. Under German law, the default rate is five percentage points above the base rate of
interest announced by the German Federal Bank effective as of January 1 and July 1 in each year. On December 27, 2016, the German Federal
Bank announced a base rate of -0.88% per annum, making the default rate for the first half of 2017 4.12%.
PS-5
Table of Contents
Accrued Interest. If it is necessary to compute interest for a period of other than a full year, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-
day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Maturity; Repurchase
Maturity. The notes will be redeemed at their aggregate principal amount on March 7, 2022. Subject to the provisions with respect to
termination for default set forth under "--Termination for Default" in this pricing supplement, neither will we be entitled to redeem, nor will any
noteholder be entitled to demand the repayment of the notes prior to their stated maturity.
Repurchase. We may at any time purchase and resell notes in the open market or otherwise at any price. Notes so purchased and not resold by
us may, at our option, be held or surrendered to the paying agent for cancellation.
Payments
Payments. Payments of principal of, and interest on, the notes will be made in U.S. dollars on the relevant payment date (see "--Payment
Date and Due Date" below) to, or to the order of, the registered holder registered at the close of business on the relevant record date (see "--Record
Date" below) in the register kept by the registrar. The funds will be distributed through the relevant DTC participants (see "Clearing and Settlement
--Certification and Custody" in the accompanying prospectus supplement) to the noteholders as of the relevant record date.
All payments made by or on behalf of us to, or to the order of, the registered holder at the close of business on the relevant record date in the
register will discharge our liability under the notes to the extent of the sums so paid.
Record Date. The record date for purposes of payments of principal and interest (see "--Payments" above) will be, in respect of each such
payment, the tenth New York business day prior to the relevant payment date.
Business Days. If any due date for payment of principal or interest to, or to the order of, the registered holder is not a New York business day,
such payment will not be made until the next day which is a New York business day, and no further interest will be paid in respect of the delay in
such payment. "New York business day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which
commercial banks are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close in New York City.
Payment Date and Due Date. For the purposes of the terms and conditions of the notes, "payment date" means the day on which the payment
is actually to be made, where applicable as adjusted in accordance with the preceding paragraph, and "due date" means the interest payment date or
the maturity date set forth above, without taking account of any such adjustment.
Taxes
All payments by us in respect of the notes will be made without deduction or withholding of taxes or other duties, unless such deduction or
withholding is required by law. In the event of such deduction or withholding, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of
the notes. There will be no "gross-up" provision requiring additional payments to be made in respect of the notes in the event of imposition of
deduction or withholding of taxes or other duties.
Termination for Default
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/821533/000104746917000155/a2230646z424b5.htm[1/12/2017 11:15:00 AM]

Any noteholder may, at its option, through DTC, declare its notes due and demand repayment thereof at their principal amount plus interest
accrued to the date of repayment if we fail to pay any amount payable under the notes within 30 days from the relevant due date. The right to declare
notes due will cease if we have made payment to, or to the order of, the registered holder before the noteholder has exercised such right. Any notice
declaring notes due will be made by means of a notice in text format (Textform, e.g. email or fax) or in written form to be sent to us together with
proof that such noteholder at the time of such notice is a holder of the relevant notes by means of a certificate of the noteholder's custodian as set
forth under "--Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Enforcement and Language--Enforcement" in this pricing supplement. Definitive certificates and
interest coupons for individual notes will not be issued in the event of a default.
PS-6
Table of Contents
Registrar and Paying Agent
We will appoint The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A. as initial registrar (the "registrar"), BNY Mellon as paying agent, and, to
the extent required by law, The Bank of New York Mellon acting through its Frankfurt branch ("BNY Mellon Frankfurt") as additional paying agent
(BNY Mellon and, if applicable, BNY Mellon Frankfurt in performing such function, the "paying agent"). We reserve the right at any time to vary
or terminate the appointment of the registrar or any paying agent or approve any change in the office through which they act (the "specified office"),
provided that there will at all times be a registrar and a paying agent, and provided further that so long as the notes are listed on any stock exchange
(and the rules of such stock exchange so require), we will maintain a paying agent with a specified office in the city in which such stock exchange is
located. We will give notice of any change in the registrar or the paying agent or in their specified offices by publication in the manner set forth
under "--Notices" in this pricing supplement.
The registrar and the paying agent in such capacities are acting exclusively as our agents and do not have any legal relationship of whatever
nature with the registered holder or any noteholder and are not in any event accountable to the registered holder or any noteholder.
Further Issues
We reserve the right, from time to time without the consent of the noteholders, to issue additional notes, on terms identical in all respects to
those set forth in the terms and conditions of the notes (except that the date from which interest will accrue may vary), so that such additional notes
will be consolidated with, form a single issue with and increase the aggregate principal amount of, the notes. The term "notes" will, in the event of
such increase, also include such additional notes.
Notices
All notices regarding the notes will be published (a) in the Federal Republic of Germany in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and, to the
extent legally required, in addition thereto, in any other form of media prescribed by law; and (b) also in a leading daily newspaper printed in the
English language and of general circulation in New York City (expected to be The Wall Street Journal). Any notice will become effective for all
purposes on the third day following the date of its publication or, if published more than once or on different dates, on the third day following the
date of first publication.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Enforcement and Language
Governing Law. The notes, both as to form and content, as well as our rights and duties and those of the noteholders, will be governed by and
will be construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disposition of the notes, including transfers and pledges,
executed between DTC participants, and between DTC itself and DTC participants, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Jurisdiction. Any action or other legal proceedings arising out of or in connection with the notes may exclusively be brought in the District
Court (Landgericht) in Frankfurt am Main.
Enforcement. Any noteholder may in any proceedings against us or to which the noteholder and we are parties protect and enforce in its own
name its rights arising under its notes on the basis of (a) a certificate issued by its custodian (i) stating the full name and address of the noteholder,
(ii) specifying a principal amount of notes credited on the date of such statement to such noteholder's securities account maintained with such
custodian and (iii) confirming that the custodian has given a written notice to DTC and the registrar containing the information pursuant to (i) and
(ii) and bearing acknowledgments of DTC and the relevant DTC participant and (b) copies of the global certificates certified as being true copies by a
duly authorized officer of DTC or the registrar. For purposes of the foregoing, "custodian" means any bank or other financial institution of
recognized standing authorized to engage in securities custody business with which the noteholder maintains a securities account in respect of any
notes and includes DTC and its participants, including any other clearing system which participates in DTC.
Language. The conditions are written in the English language and accompanied by a German language translation. The English text will be
controlling and binding. The German language translation is provided for convenience only.

INFORMATION RELATING TO U.S. DOLLAR-DENOMINATED GLOBAL NOTES
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/821533/000104746917000155/a2230646z424b5.htm[1/12/2017 11:15:00 AM]

The following description will apply to certain U.S. dollar-denominated global notes offered by KfW's prospectus dated November 18, 2016
(referred to herein as the "notes" and in the prospectus as the "securities"). If and to the extent that the pricing supplement relating to any issue of
notes contains terms that are different from the general terms set forth herein, the terms described in that pricing supplement will apply with respect
to that issue of notes and supersede the information set forth herein. This description supplements and, if inconsistent, replaces the general
description of KfW's debt securities in the prospectus dated November 18, 2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
General Provisions
Aggregate Principal Amount and Denomination. The notes will be issued in the aggregate principal amount specified in the applicable pricing
supplement, divided into the appropriate number of notes in the denomination of $1,000 each, which will rank equally among themselves.
Global Certificates, Notes and Form. The notes will be represented by one or more permanent global certificates without interest coupons (the
"global certificates"). The global certificates will be kept in custody by a custodian specified in the applicable pricing supplement, or any successor
to such custodian, for The Depository Trust Company, New York, also known as DTC, until all of our obligations under the notes have been
satisfied. The global certificates will be issued in registered form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, also known as the registered
holder, recorded in a register kept by the registrar identified in the applicable pricing supplement and represent the notes credited to accounts
maintained with DTC by financial institutions that are participants in DTC. Each person ultimately holding a note is referred to herein as a
"noteholder." Each global certificate will be manually signed by two of our authorized representatives and manually authenticated by or on behalf of
the registrar. Copies of the global certificates will be available free of charge at the paying agent identified in the applicable pricing supplement.
Definitive certificates and interest coupons for individual notes will not be issued, unless DTC is unable or unwilling to continue providing its
services and a successor securities depository is not obtained. In such a case, a noteholder may request the issue of definitive certificates representing
its individual notes and corresponding interest coupons (see "Clearing and Settlement -- The Clearing Systems -- DTC").
Transfer. The notes may be transferred through DTC or its participants. Transfers of notes will require appropriate entries in securities
accounts as described in further detail under "Clearing and Settlement -- Transfers."
Status
The notes will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of KfW and will rank equally with all of our other present and future
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations, but subject to any applicable mandatory statutory exceptions.
Interest
Interest Rate and Due Dates. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable pricing supplement, the notes will bear interest at the rate per year
set forth in that pricing supplement as from the closing date or such other date as is set forth therein. The notes will cease to bear interest upon the
end of the day preceding the day on which they become due for redemption. Interest will be payable in two equal semi-annual installments in arrears
on the interest payment dates specified in the applicable pricing supplement, or as is otherwise set forth in that pricing supplement. The first interest
payment will be due on the first interest payment date specified in the applicable pricing supplement and will be made for the period commencing on
the closing date or such other date as is specified in the applicable pricing supplement (inclusive) and ending on the first interest payment date
specified in the applicable pricing supplement (exclusive).

Late Payment. Should we fail to redeem the notes on the due date therefor, interest on the notes will, subject to the provisions with respect to
business days (as defined under "-- Payments -- Business Days"), accrue beyond the due date until actual redemption of the notes at the default rate
of interest established by law. Under German law, the default rate is five percentage points above the base rate of interest announced by the German
Federal Bank effective as of January 1 and July 1 in each year.
Accrued Interest. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable pricing supplement, if it is necessary to compute interest for a period other than
a full year, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
Maturity; Early Redemption; Repurchase
Maturity. The notes will be redeemed at their aggregate principal amount on the maturity date set forth in the applicable pricing supplement.
Subject to the provisions with respect to early redemption set forth under "-- Early Redemption," if specified in the applicable pricing supplement,
