EU-IMF Programme

The Government agreed, on 28 November 2010, to a three-year financial support programme for Ireland by the EU and IMF. External support amounted to €67.5 billion.

The external support under the programme comprised:

  • €22.5 billion from the IMF Extended Fund Facility;
  • €22.5 billion from the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM); and
  • €22.5 billion from the European Financial Stability Facility (€17.7bn) and bilateral loans from the United Kingdom (€3.8bn), Sweden (€0.6bn) and Denmark (€0.4bn).

Support was provided on the basis of specific policy conditionality which is detailed in a Memorandum of Understanding. The final review was completed in December 2013 and the final disbursement was made in March 2014.

In December 2017, the NTMA completed the early repayment in full of Ireland’s outstanding loans from the IMF.

Ireland’s bilateral loans from the UK, Denmark and Sweden have also been repaid in full.

Programme loans remain from the EFSM and EFSF. The maturity profile of these loans can be found here.

      NOTES & SOURCES

      The figures in the table are unaudited. Rounding can affect totals.

      1 Euro equivalents are translated at the reporting date exchange rates, taking account of the effect of currency hedging transactions. The net euro amount received by the Exchequer was €67.5 billion after adjustment for below par issuance, deduction of a prepaid margin (which was returned to Ireland in 2016), and the effect of foreign exchange transactions.

      2 The EFSM loan maturity extensions agreed in June 2013 are not reflected in the table above.

      3 EFSF loans reflect the maturity extensions agreed in June 2013.

      4 IMF loans are denominated in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), an international reserve asset created by the IMF. Its value is based on a basket of key international currencies.
