Commentary
"The EFSF has benefited from low funding costs since its inception, and we
expect it will continue to do so. Under the Basel framework, EFSF bonds
are considered to have 0% risk weights. Furthermore, the European
Central Bank (ECB) has included the EFSF in its expanded public-sector
asset purchases program."
"The credit profile of the European Financial Stability Facility reflects
primarily the strong support by its guarantors. Other credit strengths
include the EFSF's prudent liquidity management and its strong liquidity
position, supported by solid market access and a diversified investor base."
"EFSF's ratings rely on irrevocable and unconditional guarantees and over-
guarantees provided by Euro Area Member States (EAMS) (...). They ensure
EFSF debt is fully covered by guarantees and over guarantees (up to 165%
of original guarantees) from the most highly-rated EAMS or by a cash
reserve."
