Great news keeps coming!

Bulgaria’s parliament adopted the ESM Treaty with 95% support. 189 out of 199 MPs voted in favour.

The key democratic step toward full ESM membership after joining the euro in January.

Congratulations to Bulgaria. A great day for European integration!

[Pierre Gramegna @pierregramegna]

Today marks another important milestone in Bulgaria’s path towards ESM membership.

A large majority in the Bulgarian National Assembly voted in favour of the ESM Treaties.

I look forward to welcoming Bulgaria as the ESM’s 21st Member in the coming weeks!

[ESM @ESM_Press]

The European Stability Mechanism ensures financial stability of the euro area by acting as its safety net and lender of last resort.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗦𝗠 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀?

It raises money on the capital markets on behalf of its members, the euro area countries. Thanks to very strong financial backing, over €80 billion in paid‑in capital and more than €600 billion in callable capital, the ESM enjoys the highest possible credit rating.

𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗲, 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝟭,𝟴𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗦𝗠. Their confidence allows the institution to borrow at very favourable terms and to be ready to support euro area countries when needed.

For the first time, we share with you behind the scenes of the ESM’s CFO department. The Funding and Investor Relations teams work every day to raise funds smoothly, maintain strong investor trust, and stay closely connected to financial markets worldwide.

🎥 Watch the video to see how the ESM listens to 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀, how this shapes its 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, and how it stays closely connected to 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀, all in support of euro area financial stability.

𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁.

The ESM is a major issuer in the capital markets. It benefits from the best possible credit rating: AAA. This is because its paid-in capital is over €80 billion and its callable capital over €600 billion.

As a 𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁 in the 𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮, the ESM issues bonds to help its Members prevent or overcome crises.

Maintaining a close and continuous dialogue with its investors remains an essential part of the ESM’s approach to funding: these conversations help to understand 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀, shape the institution’s 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆, and ensure its stays closely 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀. Across the globe, the ESM has about 1,800 investors.

The strength of the ESM is to build 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 in times of volatile markets. Staying flexible, responsive to markets, and closely aligned with investor demand, is key.

Afterall, in capital markets, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.
