European Commission

• In the context of the Covid-19 crisis, the Council has adopted on 19

May 2020 the SURE regulation (“Support to mitigate Unemployment

Risks in an Emergency”).

• The Council has approved EUR 90.3 billion in loans to 18 Member

States with a maximum average maturity of 15 years.

• The proposed loans will assist Member States to cope with sudden

increases in public expenditure to preserve employment.

• All Member States are eligible. Further loan amounts can be allocated

up to the maximum ceiling of EUR 100 billion.

• The Commission issues bonds on behalf of the European Union and

on-lends the funds based on individual loan agreements concluded

with the beneficiary member states (back-to-back lending).

• The EU has established an ICMA-compliant social bond framework for bond issuances under the SURE

programme.

• Newly issued bonds enjoy the same status as those issued in the past.

• EU bonds are and will remain direct and unconditional obligations of the EU. For the SURE instrument,

the EU member states have provided additional guarantees of EUR 25 billion to protect the budget.

• Funding operations for the SURE instrument are carried out following the signature of individual loan

agreements with Member States – the first funding transaction, a 10y/20y dual tranche totalling EUR 17

billion, has taken place on 20 October 2020.

• Total issued amount in 2020: EUR 39.5 billion with maturities of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years.

• Total issued amount in 2021 so far: EUR 14 billion (dual tranche 7y + 30y tap).

billion are available (EUR 46.8 billion disbursed to Ireland and Portugal between 2011 and 2014). The EFSM continues to be active as

loans with maturities up to 2026 can be extended, up to an average maturity of 19.5 years.

The Balance of Payments (BoP) programme provides support up to EUR 50 billion to non-euro-area Member States. Nocurrent programme. EUR 200 million (Latvia) are still outstanding*.

Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA)

is a financial aid programme to assist non-EU countries. EUR 5.79 billion are currently outstanding*.

*as of 15/01/2021

The European Commission, on behalf of the EU, operates four loan programmes, which are funded

in the capital markets:

Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA): EUR 2.35 billion in 2021

• For ten different third countries, the Council and the EP have adopted a EUR 3 billion “Covid-19” MFA package, to be disbursed in

several tranches and on top of “regular” MFA programmes.

• EUR 1,155 million have been raised in 2020 through a private placement and two syndicated taps on EU 6/2035.

EU Funding Plan 2021Up to EUR 57 billion in 2021, of which 43 billion remaining: up to €20bn in Q1, €20-25bn in Q2, plus MFA

10 This funding plan only includes existing programmes.

• On 10 December 2019, the European Commission, acting on behalf of the issuers European Union (EU) and

European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), signed and released a new Debt Issuance Programme (DIP)

which is governed by Luxembourg law.

• Following the United Kingdom’s decision to exit the European Union, a new programme was commissioned to align

its jurisdiction to that of an EU Member State. Credit Agricole CIB acts as arranger.

• Debut issuance of this new programme (EU 6/2035, nominal amount: EUR 500 million) happened on 3 June 2020.

• In principle all EU/Euratom bonds are listed at the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Offering Circular (Base

European Union – Ratings (1)

Agency Rating Rating agency comments

AAA /

Outlook

stable

On 25 February 2020, Fitch affirmed the EU's AAA long-term rating with stable outlook.

As supranational administrative bodies, the EU's and Euratom's 'AAA' ratings are ultimately based on the capacity

and propensity of 'AAA'-rated EU member states to provide extra funding to the EU, above their initial budget

contributions, if needed to repay debt.

In addition to lending, the EU has provided an increasing amount of guarantees in recent years. In Fitch's view, the

financial risk that these guarantees represent for the EU is largely mitigated by a prudent framework of guarantee

funds that should be sufficient to cover future calls on these guarantees given the likely staggered scheduling of

claim payments.

Aaa /

Outlook

stable

On 18 September 2020, Moody's affirmed the EU's Aaa long-term rating with stable outlook.

The decision to affirm the Aaa rating reflects the following key rating factors:

The very high commitment of EU members to ensuring the continued soundness of the EU's finances and their very

high capacity to do so given the significant credit strength of the EU’s most highly rated members;

The multiple layers of debt service protection, including explicit recourse to extraordinary support which, in Moody’s

view, creates the equivalent of a joint and several undertaking and obligation on the part of EU member states to

provide financial support to the EU.

AA /

Outlook

positive

On 31 July 2020, S&P revised the outlook on EU’s AA long-term rating to positive and affirmed the rating.

S&P sees the decisions on the Multiannual Financial Framework and the joint recovery fund as a sign of the EU's

strengthened policy importance, which is one of the rating agency’s key rating factors for supranational entities.

The long-term rating on the EU relies on the capacity and willingness of the 11 wealthiest EU members (including

the U.K., which is required to contribute to the EU budget until the end of the 2014-2020 MFF) that are net

contributors to the EU budget.

European Union – Ratings (2)

Agency Rating Rating agency comments

AAA* /

Outlook

stable

On 25 September 2020, DBRS Morningstar confirmed its unsolicited long-term rating of the EU at AAA stable.

DBRS Morningstar rates the EU at AAA primarily based on its Support Assessment. This is underpinned by the

creditworthiness of its core member states and their strong, continued political commitment to support the EU’s

obligations, which provide the institution with multiple sources of support.

At the same time, the EU’s conservative budgetary management is expected to remain sound. Multiple

arrangements that protect creditors remain in place as well as the institution’s de facto preferred creditor status.

The Stable trend reflects DBRS Morningstar’s view that the EU’s recent decision strengthen Member State’s

commitment to the Union and compensate for the risks arising from the large increase in EU debt expected in the

next few years.

AAA* /

Outlook

stable

On 30 October 2020, Scope confirmed its unsolicited long-term rating of the EU at AAA stable, based on the following

key credit strengths:

Highly-rated shareholders,

Strong institutional setup providing de facto joint and several support, debt service priority and budget

flexibility, and

High liquidity buffers.

The Stable Outlook reflects our assessment of the EU’s high buffers for withstanding shocks.

Credit weaknesses taken into account comprise a significant increase in debt, crisis-country exposure, high

shareholder concentration and high guarantees to EIB operations.

• EU borrowings are direct and unconditional obligations of the EU. The EU is legally bound by the Treaty on the

Functioning of the EU (Article 323) to service the EU debt.

• The EU’s debt service is ensured based on multiple layers of debt-service protection. In principle, the EU pays its

own debt with the loan redemption payments received from the loan beneficiaries (back-to-back lending). EU loan

beneficiaries have always serviced their debt.

• In the unlikely event of non-payment of a loan beneficiary, the EU budget guarantees that the EU timely honours its

obligations. To this end, the Commission can make available its cash buffer, re-prioritise budgetary expenditure and,

if needed, draw additional resources from Member States.

• The budgetary margin (difference between own-resources annual ceiling of the multi-annual financial framework

(MFF) and the actual payment appropriations of the EU budget) serves as protection to investors by providing

coverage against unexpected payment obligations. For the SURE programme, Member States provide additional

guarantees of EUR 25 billion.

• EU borrowing has traditionally been used to finance loans to countries – both EU Member States and third countries

eligible for MFA assistance. Subject to European Council agreement on the Recovery Plan (July 2020), the

Commission will be exceptionally empowered to borrow to fund crisis-repair and recovery actions through the Next

Generation EU programme once this agreement has been ratified by the European and national Parliaments.
