The European Commission placed bonds on behalf of the EU in the amount of €5B. Part of the funds raised under the Macro-Financial Assistance Plus program will be directed to Ukraine’s financial assistance. As reported by the European Commission, the demand for these seven-year bonds at 3.125% exceeded the supply more than nine times. Investors placed applications for €46B.
Within this program, the European Commission has already allocated €12B to Ukraine; another €1.5B is planned for the end of September. In total, Ukraine will receive €18B in 2023. This is the ninth bond issued by the European Commission this year. In the second half of 2023, the European Commission will issue bonds for €40B.
