The EIB continues to play a key role as issuer of new RFR-linked bonds in
various currencies:
First ever GBP SONIA-linked benchmark issued in June 2018
Since then, the Bank issued GBP 7.25bn in SONIA-linked transactions
SONIA-linked reference has become a role model in the market
Launch of first ever SONIA Compounded Index linked GBP benchmark in August 2020
(GBP 1bn 5yr)
SOFR bond (USD 1bn 3yr) in November 2018, extended the SSA USD SOFR curve
First ever €STR-linked benchmark bond in October 2019 (EUR 1bn 3yr ), setting a sound
standard in the €STR market
Inaugural USD SOFR index-linked benchmark bond (USD 1.5bn 4yr), launched in March 2020,
synchronized with the start of the index publication by the Fed
Taking the leadership to harmonize market standards showcases EIB's ability to
provide direction and support the further development of capital markets
