EU Transactions in Q1 2024

Against a busy market backdrop, the EU has made steady progress towards its €75 billion funding target for H1 2024 thanks to its reliable investor base.

date:  26/03/2024

In the first quarter of the year, the EU raised over €35 billion in long term funds over three EU-Bond syndications and three EU-Bond auctions. This included €7 billion in NextGenerationEU Green Bonds raised in the EU’s final syndication of the quarter. 

In addition, the EU continued to execute regular EU-Bill issuances in 3-month and 6-month tenors throughout the quarter, ensuring a stable level of short-term debt (€18.7 billion as of end March).

A summary of the EU’s funding activities for Q1 2024 is shown below.
