Fitch Affirms European Union and Euratom at ‘AAA’

(The following statement was released by the rating agency) LONDON/PARIS, March 02 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed the European Union’s (EU) and the European Atomic cheap moncler jackets outlet Energy Community’s (Euratom) Long Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at ‘AAA’ and Short Term IDRs at ‘F1+’. The Outlooks on the Long Term IDRs are Stable. The issue ratings of EU’s and Euratom’s unsecured bonds have been affirmed at ‘AAA’. The affirmation of EU’s moncler outlet kids and Euratom’s ratings reflects the continuing strong commitment from the 28 member states to honour their contributions to the EU’s budget, and more specifically, the support of the ‘AAA’ rated member states. KEY RATING DRIVERS EU’s and Euratom’s ratings and Stable Outlook reflect the following key rating drivers: EU and Euratom are supranational administrative bodies. Their ‘AAA’ ratings reflect Fitch’s view that their debt is ultimately backed by EU budget revenues. This relies on the ability and propensity of member states to honour their budget commitments. The EU’s indebtedness (EUR53.9 billion at end 2016) is only incurred for the purpose of lending to moncler outlet member states (through the balance of payments (BoP) and moncler jackets the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism programmes (EFSM)) or to neighbouring sovereigns (through the Macro Financial Assistance Programme (MFA)). The EU is not allowed to borrow for other purposes than on lending to sovereigns. Euratom’s indebtedness (EUR0.25 billion at end 2016) is dedicated to on lending to member states or neighbouring countries to finance nuclear power projects. Lending activity for both institutions is funded outside the budget through dedicated borrowings made in the name of the EU and Euratom. MFA’s and Euratom’s loans to neighbouring countries are partly protected by a guarantee fund, which also covers EU guarantees to loans made by the European Investment Bank (AAA/Stable) for the implementation of the EU external lending mandate. moncler jackets canada EU loans are extended to countries facing economic difficulties, predominantly EU member states. The two largest single exposures are Portugal (BB+/Stable), at 45% of the total portfolio, and Ireland (A/Stable) at 41.7% of total portfolio. Exposure to non buy moncler jackets toronto EU countries, mostly Ukraine (CCC), is growing. The portfolio is highly concentrated. However, EU enjoys preferred creditor status equivalent to other multilateral development banks; it has never suffered a loss on its loan portfolio. The features and maturities of loans extended by EU and Euratom are aligned with their respective debt profiles and this has remained so after the refinancing of debt following the extension of Ireland’s loan maturity in 2015 and Portugal’s loan maturity in 2016, as made possible by EU legislation. The creditworthiness of EU and Euratom is supported by EU legislation, which allows their debt to be repaid through priority recourse to EU budget revenues over other non priority expenses. The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) sets annual ceilings for 2014 2020, limiting annual expenditure that are mainly financed by resources transferred moncler jackets outlet by member states to the EU (0.98% of EU’s gross national income (GNI) on average in this period). For the 2017 budget, the annual resources expected to be transferred by member states represent 0.85% of the EU’s GNI. In Fitch’s view, member states’ ability to contribute to the moncler outlet ny EU budget is strong. Despite several sovereign downgrades in the past 12 months (most notably Finland and the UK), the overall credit quality of EU countries remains high. Of the EU’s budget national contributions for 2017, 29.6% will be contributed by member states rated ‘AAA’ (Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Luxembourg). EU member states may have to contribute to budget revenues, if necessary, beyond their initial share, up to moncler jackets toronto a maximum of 1.2% of EU’s gross national income every year. This ceiling has been reduced from 1.23% in 2016. Under the assumption that member states would restrict their additional transfers to their current share in the EU resources, additional annual contributions from ‘AAA’ rated member moncler coats states would range from EUR10 billion to EUR15 billion in 2017 2020. moncler coats cheap This would cover the combined yearly debt service of EU and Euratom based on their actual loan portfolios during the same moncler jackets cheap period. In Fitch’s view, the exit vote by the UK in the referendum on 23 June 2016 does not have any immediate implications for the ratings of the EU/Euratom, particularly given that the moncler coat UK is not included in the group of ‘AAA’ rated member states moncler outlet online whose contributions underpin the EU’s debt service. However, the rise of the anti EU sentiment across Europe, as moncler jacket online is illustrated by the significant emergence of populist parties across Europe in the past year, may lead, over time, to weaker political cohesion among member states, and therefore increase the risk of the EU dismantling. RATING SENSITIVITIES The factors that could, individually or collectively, result in negative rating action are: A downgrade of an existing ‘AAA’ rated member state resulting in the annual debt service not being covered by moncler coats for kids potential additional contributions from ‘AAA’ rated member states; moncler coats for men Significant increase in the combined annual debt service of EU and Euratom moncler coats for cheap as a result of higher moncler coats for women lending, or if the quality of the risk management framework deteriorates significantly; A continued rise of the anti EU sentiment leading to moncler chicago weaker political cohesion and increased risk of a dismantling of the EU. KEY ASSUMPTIONS The ratings and Outlook are sensitive to a number of assumptions: Member states will remain committed to paying their monthly contributions to the EU budget; therefore contributions to the EU budget are assumed to remain predictable and be provided by member states on a timely basis; No ‘AAA’ rated member states will choose to leave the EU in the short to medium term.
