Programmes like SURE and NextGenerationEU have transformed the EU’s status as an issuer. In terms of both the volume it issues and the funding techniques it applies, the EU now more closely resembles a sovereign-style issuer than a supranational one.

With its decision to begin issuing single-branded EU-Bonds under a unified funding approach from January 2023 onwards, the EU has taken yet another major step towards sovereign-style issuance.

How will this move impact other issuers? And how will the capital markets react?

Join the discussion “EU-Bonds in 2023 – the EU’s transition to a super-sovereign issuer” to hear Niall and Rebecca’s thoughts, and ask some questions of your own.

This conversation is part of the  CEPS Ideas Lab. Please note that this email constitutes an invitation to this particular session only, and does not constitute an invitation to any other event at the Ideas Lab. For more information on the Ideas Lab, please consult CEPS’s dedicated website.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Kind regards,
