Notes

1. Non-euro liabilities are translated into euro at the rates of exchange at 15th June 2012. The net euro amount received by the Exchequer was €49.4 billion after adjustment for below par issuance and deduction of a prepaid margin (Note 2), and also reflect the effect of foreign exchange transactions. Non-euro liabilities have been locked-in, as appropriate, in order to remove exchange rate risk.

2. A prepaid margin of €0.53 billion was deducted from the loan of €4.19 billion drawdown on 1 February 2011 giving a net liability of €3.67 billion. This margin prepayment will be refunded to Ireland in 2016. The total liability of €50.46 billion included in the National Debt (€130.1 billion at 15th June 2012) takes account of this reduction.

3. Short Term EFSF Funding of €1.48 billion maturing in 2012 is due to be replaced by longer term funding at a floating interest rate. The EFSF loan of €1.27bn maturing in 2015 is also subject to rollover at a floating rate.

4. The EFSF funding provided to Ireland under pooled issuance comes from a variety of fundings, and the EFSF will confirm the interest rate cost related to each loan coming from the pool on every interest payment date.

5. The Interest rates on the UK bilateral loans are subject to a reduction pending the signing of an amendment to the legal agreement. The reduction is estimated, at this stage, to be about 1.5%. Rate shown is an annualised rate.

6. The current rate on the Denmark bilateral loan is 1.787%. This rate resets every 3 months and is due to do so on 29th June 2012. Similarly, the Sweden bilateral loan is a floating rate loan which resets every 3 months. The current rate of 1.337% applies for a 2 week initial period.

7. The interest rate charged by the IMF is variable. It is composed of a weekly setting of the IMF SDR interest rate and surcharges which are volume and time dependent. As of 25 June 2012 the SDR interest rate accruing on Ireland's IMF loans is 0.12% and the surcharges are 2.50% making a total of 2.62%.
