We have acted as special United States counsel to The Export-Import Bank of Korea, a statutory juridical entity established in the Republic of Korea under The Export-Import Bank of Korea Act of 1969, as amended (the “Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s dual tranche offering pursuant to a registration statement under Schedule B (No. 333-180273) of US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.375% notes due 2019 and US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.250% notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Notes”) to be issued under a fiscal agency agreement dated as of August 1, 1991 (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”) between the Bank and The Bank of New York Mellon, as fiscal agent. Such registration statement, as amended when it became effective, is herein called the “Registration Statement;” the related prospectus dated August 1, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is herein called the “Base Prospectus;” the related prospectus supplement dated August 5, 2014, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus Supplement;” and the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, together, are herein called the “Prospectus.”

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have reviewed the following documents:

(a) the Registration Statement;

(b) the Prospectus;

(c) specimens of the Notes; and

(d) an executed copy of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

In addition, we have reviewed the originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of all such records of the

Bank and such other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below.

In rendering the opinion expressed below, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have assumed and have not verified (i) the accuracy as to factual matters of each document we have reviewed and (ii) that the Notes conform to the specimens thereof that we have reviewed and have been duly authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the Notes are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Bank, entitled to the benefit of the Fiscal Agency Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing opinion, (a) we have assumed that each of the Bank and the Fiscal Agent has satisfied those legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes enforceable against it (except that no such assumption is made as to the Bank regarding matters of the federal law of the United States of America or the law of the State of New York that in our experience normally would be applicable with respect to the Fiscal Agency Agreement and the Notes), (b) such opinion is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity and (c) such opinion is subject to the effect of judicial application of foreign laws or foreign governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights. In addition, we note that (i) the enforceability of the waiver of immunities by the Bank set forth in the Notes is subject to the limitations imposed by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and (ii) the designation of the U.S. federal courts sitting in The City of New York as a venue for actions or proceedings relating to the Notes is (notwithstanding the waiver in such provisions) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) or to dismiss such actions or proceedings on the grounds that such federal court is an inconvenient forum for such action or proceeding. We express no opinion as to the subject matter jurisdiction of any United States federal court to adjudicate any action relating to the Notes where jurisdiction based on diversity of citizenship under 28 U.S.C. §1332 does not exist.

The foregoing opinion is limited to the federal law of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this exhibit, within the meaning of the term “expert” as used in the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission issued thereunder. We assume no obligation to advise you, or to make any investigations, as to any legal developments or factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof that might affect the opinion expressed herein.

Very truly yours,
CLEARY GOTTLIEB STEEN & HAMILTON LLP

Re: The Export-Import Bank of Korea (the “Bank”) US$500,000,000 2.375% Notes Due 2019 and US$500,000,000 3.250% Notes Due 2026

We have acted as Korean counsel for The Export-Import Bank of Korea (the “Issuer”), a statutory juridical entity duly established pursuant to the Export-Import Bank of Korea Act (the “Eximbank Act”) and validly existing under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Korea”) in connection with the Issuer’s offering pursuant to a registration statement under Schedule B (File No. 333-180273) as amended when it became effective (the “Registration Statement”) of US$500,000,000 2.375% notes due 2019 and US$500,000,000 3.250% notes due 2026 (the “Notes”), to be issued under the fiscal agency agreement dated August 1, 1991 and made by the Issuer and the Fiscal Agent (the “Fiscal Agent”) named therein (the “Fiscal Agency Agreement”).

We have reviewed the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such instruments and other documents, and we have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinion expressed below. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts material to this opinion that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Issuer.

In addition, and without prejudice to the generality of the immediately preceding paragraph, in arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have reviewed the following specific documents relating to the Notes:

(1) an executed copy of the Fiscal Agency Agreement;

(2) the Registration Statement;

(3) the Prospectus dated August 1, 2014, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement dated August 5, 2014 (as supplemented, referred to hereinafter, as the “Prospectus”);

(4) a copy of the executed Notes in global form;

(5) copies of the articles of incorporation, the commercial registry extracts and the corporate seal certificate of the Chairman and President of the Issuer; and

(6) a copy of the internal approval granted by the Chairman and President of the Issuer on July 31, 2014, authorizing the issue of the Notes.

We are admitted to practice law in Korea, and the legal opinions provided herein are confined to and given on the basis of the laws of Korea in effect as at the date hereof. We do not represent ourselves to be familiar with the laws of any jurisdiction other than Korea, and we do not pass upon nor express any opinion in respect of those matters that are governed by or construed in accordance with any of such laws.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Issuer is a statutory juridical entity duly established under the Eximbank Act and validly existing under the laws of Korea, with power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement;

2. The Fiscal Agency Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the Issuer;

3. The statements in the Prospectus concerning matters of Korean law (except for the financial statements and related schedules and other financial and statistical data contained therein as to which we express no opinion) are accurate and up-to-date as of the date hereof in all material respects; and

4. The Notes have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered by the Issuer and constitute valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Issuer; subject to (i) the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, rehabilitation or the restructuring of the Issuer pursuant to the laws in Korea now in force or subsequently enacted which generally affect the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) general equity principles.

This opinion is limited to the matters addressed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter. This opinion is given with respect to the laws of Korea as currently in effect and we do not pass upon and we express no opinion in respect of those matters governed by or construed in accordance with the laws of any jurisdiction other than Korea.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement, without thereby admitting that we are “experts” under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder for the purpose of any part of the Registration Statement, including the exhibit as which this opinion is filed.

Yours faithfully,
