The European Financial Stability Facility placed a €3 billion three-year benchmark bond maturing on 4 February 2015. The proceeds will be used in conjunction with the financial assistance programmes for the Republic of Ireland and the Republic of Portugal.


This first three-year bond placed by the EFSF was met with strong demand, with orders received close to €4.5 billion from investors around the world. Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Société Générale CIB acted as lead managers for this issue and Deutsche Finanzagentur acted as Issuance Agent.

Christophe Frankel, Deputy CEO and CFO stated: “The continued support from our investors shows that EFSF has established itself as a quality supranational issuer”. In 2012, the combined total funding requirements for Ireland and Portugal amount to €24 billion. The proceeds from today’s bond issue will be disbursed to Ireland and Portugal in the coming weeks.
