Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 January 2014
213. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the amounts currently borrowed from the International Monetary Fund under the EU-IMF programme; the current rate of interest payable on these borrowings; the maturity date of the loans; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4166/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs of end-December 2013, the nominal liability of loans from the IMF under the EU/IMF Programme stood at €22.5 billion. The details of the individual IMF loan amounts as provided by the NTMA are set out in table format below. The table also provides information on the IMF loan maturities. As of end-December 2013 the overall blended euro equivalent interest rate on Ireland's IMF loan is estimated by the NTMA to be 4.16%.
Since 18 January 2014 a further 'time based surcharge' of 100 basis points has been applied by the IMF to the amount of Ireland's loan in excess of three times its IMF quota, currently about €4.25 billion. This is a standard change of lending in accordance with the rules of the IMF's Extended Fund Facility and is applied if a country's credit remains above 300 percent of quota after three years.
