INVESTOR NEWSLETTER NO. 46
Dear Investor
N° 46/19 December 2022
For the EFSF and ESM, 2022 has been a busy and significant year not least because we began to issue
bonds without the presence of issuance windows. During the sovereign debt crisis a decade ago, we
chose to guide investors with announcements about our quarterly funding. However, in 2021 we took
the decision to drop issuance windows to ensure that our issuance remains agile and responsive to
the needs of investors, which has proven beneficial.
We navigated the challenging capital markets, and we thank investors for remaining loyal to us as well
as our market group member banks for their ongoing support.
Abandoning issuance windows and separately making more use of intraday transactions rather than
two-day bond sales, contributed to flexibility in funding. Furthermore, we completed our 2022 long-
term funding programme exceptionally early this year. The last EFSF bond transaction of the year was
on 4 October and the last ESM bond transaction was on 17 October.
In 2017, we established a strategic presence in the US dollar market. This year we did not issue in US
dollars as demand held up strongly for euro-denominated bonds. We will keep the USD as a strategic
currency for the future. We focused on euros this year because with higher European rates the
demand for short-term euro bonds increased, and we were thus able to tap into that demand several
times at attractive rates for our beneficiary Member States.
For 2023, our long-term funding target remains stable, for the EFSF it is €20 billion, up from €19.5
billion in 2022. For the ESM, we will seek to raise £8 billion, same as this year.
We thank investors for their confidence in our Pandemic Crisis Support credit line, which expires on 31
December 2022. Despite not being triggered by ESM Members, it contributed, as part of the European
policy response to the pandemic, reassuring financial markets.
In this edition of the newsletter, we would like to take the opportunity to introduce our new Managing
Director of the ESM, Pierre Gramegna, whom we welcomed on 1 December. We look forward to
introducing Pierre to investors on our roadshows very soon.
