Scope of activity, linked to appropriate conditionality
Provide loans to euro area Member States in financial difficulties
Intervene in the debt primary market
Intervene in the secondary bond markets
Act on the basis of a precautionary programme
Finance recapitalisation of financial institutions through loans to governments including in

In case a country steps out, contribution keys would be readjusted among remaining guarantors and the guarantee committee
amount would decrease accordingly. Effective lending capacity is 440 billion which corresponds to the guarantee commitments
of triple A member states.

A solid and simple structure
In the case of a missed payment by a borrower, EFSF would be in
charge of ensuring that each Guarantor remits its share of the
shortfall to the EFSF
The shortfall would be covered by the:
1. Guarantees
2. Grossing up of guarantees (up to 165% over-
collateralisation)
If a payment is missed by a borrower, the country programme
could be interrupted and subsequently reviewed and the MoU
renegotiated but the conditionality would still exist
All guarantors rank equally and pari passu amongst themselves

EFSF funding strategy

The funding strategy should be described as SSA (Sovereign, Supranational, Agency) type through
benchmark issuance, with focus on a high standard of liquidity. This would permit volumes and
pricing to be in line with what is expected from the EFSF mission and is in line with the ECB
classification
Flexibility: a diversified funding strategy using a liquidity buffer as a key component. As part of
this strategy, EFSF has established a short-term programme and holds regular bill auctions with
maturities from 1 month.
Fund pooling: funds raised are not attributed to a particularly country but pooled and then
disbursed to programme countries when required.
Size/Maturity: EFSF strategy adapts to market conditions in order to meet investors
requirements for liquidity
Currencies: The EFSF does not have any currency limitation for its funding activities but it is
expected that the majority of funds would be raised in euro. The EFSF would in all likelihood need
to swap the proceeds back into euro
Issuance method: Syndications and auctions, private placements, new lines and tap issues

Optimising EFSFs firepower
On 29 November, euro area Finance Ministers agreed to increase EFSFs firepower by
optimising its lending capacity within the existing Framework Agreement and without
extending the amount of guarantees by Member States whilst also preserving EFSF high
credit rating.
Two options are available:
1. Partial risk protection EFSF provides partial protection certificate to a sovereign
bond issued by a Member State. After issue, certificate could be detached and freely
traded separately. Holder received fixed credit protection of 20-30% of principal. To be
used primarily under precautionary programmes
2. Creation of a Co-Investment Fund (CIF) Combine public and private capital. CIF
buys bonds in primary and/or secondary markets. It could be funding through the
following classes of instrument:
Senior debt instrument : credit rated and targeted at traditional fixed income investors
Participation capital instrument : Junior to senior debt instrument, aimed at sovereign
wealth funds, risk capital investors, would participate in upside generated
EFSF investment: absorbs first proportion on any losses incurred
EFSF would benefit from the flexibility to deploy both options which are not mutually
exclusive
27
Going forward: creation of a permanent crisis mechanism
The creation of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM)
an intergovernmental organisation under public international law
ESM will take over all the features of the amended EFSF
effective lending capacity of 500 billion
total subscribed capital of 700 billion, with paid-in capital (80 billion) and
committed callable capital (620 billion)
Following established IMF policies regarding private sector involvement
ESM will claim preferred creditor status (except for countries under a European
financial assistance programme at signing of treaty)
Standardized and Collective Action Clauses (CACs) will be included for all new
euro area government bonds from January 2013

EFSF Commitments and lending capacity
EFSF commitments for Ireland, Portugal, Greece and Spain

Portugal 26.0 bn
Greece
Up to 144.6 bn
- 35.5 bn (PSI + Acc. Int.)
- Up to 109.1 bn (2

programme, including up
to 48 bn bank recap.)
Spain Up to 100 bn for recapitalisation of banks
188.3bn + 3.7bn (cash buffer from EFSF v1*)
+ up to 100 bn (Spain) = 292 bn
EFSF remaining lending capacity
440 bn - 292 bn = no less than 148 bn
* As part of the credit enhancement structure of the initial EFSF, a cash reserve and loan-specific cash buffer was deducted from loans to Member
States. Since the adoption of the amended version of the EFSF in October 2011, the cash reserve and loan-specific cash buffer are no longer required

The way forward

Up to July 2013 EFSF may engage in new programmes in order to ensure a full fresh lending capacity of 500 billion. 500 bn lending
capacity can also be reached through accelerated capital payments, if needed.
192 bn already committed to Ireland, Portugal and Greece; up to 100 bn committed to Spain for recapitalisation of banks
