document | COM(2024)461 |
date | March 15, 2024 |
The assistance is planned to be disbursed in three instalments. The disbursement of the first instalment is expected to take place in 2025. The disbursement of the first instalment is expected to take place in 2025 and the remaining disbursements spaced throughout the remaining period, provided that the policy measures attached to each instalment have been implemented in a timely manner.
Specific provisions on the prevention of fraud and other irregularities, consistent with the Financial Regulation, are applicable.
- 1.5.2. Added value of Union involvement (it may result from different factors, e.g. coordination gains, legal certainty, greater effectiveness or complementarities). For the purposes of this point 'added value of Union involvement' is the value resulting from Union intervention, which is additional to the value that would have been otherwise created by Member States alone.
The instrument of macro-financial assistance is a policy-based instrument directed to alleviate short- and medium-term external financial needs. In the context of the ongoing regional crisis, MFA will help to provide economic and fiscal policy space for the authorities to mount an effective economic response to the crisis By helping the partner overcome the economic difficulties amplified by the recent geopolitical developments and in particular the war in the Middle-East and the consequent red sea crisis, the proposed MFA will contribute to promoting macroeconomic and political stability in the partners. MFA will complement the resources made available by the international financial institutions, bilateral donors and other EU financial institutions. In doing so, it will contribute to the overall effectiveness of the financial support provided by the international community, as well as of other EU financial assistance, including budgetary support operations.
Furthermore, by providing long-term financing in highly concessional terms, usually lower than the rest of international or bilateral donors, the MFA programme is expected to help the government to execute its budget without fiscal deviations and to contribute to debt sustainability.
In addition to the financial impact of the MFA, the proposed programme will strengthen the government’s reform commitment. This result will be achieved, inter alia, through appropriate reform measures accompanying the disbursement of the assistance.
- 1.5.3. Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past
Macro-financial assistance operations in partners are subject to ex-post evaluation. Evaluations conducted thus far (on completed MFA programmes), conclude that MFA operations do contribute, albeit sometimes modestly and indirectly, to the improvement of the external sustainability, the macroeconomic stability and the achievement of structural reforms in the partner. In most cases, MFA operations had a positive effect on the balance of payments of the partner and helped to relax their budgetary constraints. They also led to somewhat higher economic growth.
- 1.5.4. Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework
In the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework, the provisioining of MFA loans will be covered by the External Action Guarantee within Global Europe (Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument).
Possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
- 1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
By using loans, this MFA operation increases the effectiveness of the EU budget through the leverage effect and provides for the best cost-efficient option.
The Commission is empowered to borrow funds from capital markets on behalf of both the European Union and Euratom using the guarantee of the EU budget. The aim is to obtain funds from the market at the best available rates due to the top credit status (AAA-rated by Fitch, Moody's and DBRS, AA by S&P, all with stable outlook) of the EU/Euratom and then on-lend them to eligible borrowers in the context of lending under the EFSM, BoP, MFA and to Euratom projects. Borrowing and lending is conducted as a back-to-back operation, ensuring that the EU budget does not take any interest rate or foreign exchange risk. The target of obtaining funds at the best available rates for borrowing and lending activities has been achieved because those rates are in line with peer institutions (EIB, EFSM, and ESM).

Comments
- 2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
- 2.1. Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The actions to be financed under this Decision will be implemented under direct management by the Commission from headquarters and with support of the Union delegations.
This assistance is of macroeconomic nature and its design is consistent with the IMF-supported programme. The monitoring of the action by the Commission services will take place on the basis of progress in the implementation of the IMF arrangement and the implementation of specific reform measures to be agreed with the authorities of the partners in a Memorandum of Understanding with a frequency that is consistent with the number of instalments (See also point 1.4.4).
- 2.2. Management and control system(s)
- 2.2.1. Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed
The actions to be financed under this Decision will be implemented under direct management by the Commission from headquarters and with support of the Union delegations.
MFA disbursements are dependent on successful reviews, and tied to the fulfilment of reform measures accompanying each operation. The implementation of reforms is closely monitored by the Commission, in close coordination with the Union Delegations.
- 2.2.2. Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
- 2.2.3. Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
The control systems in place, such as the ex-ante operational assessments or the ex-post assessments, ensured an effective error rate for the MFA payments of 0%. There are no known cases of fraud, corruption or illegal activity. MFA operations have a clear intervention logic, one that allows the Commission to evaluate their impact. The controls enable the confirmation of assurance and of attainment of policy objectives and priorities.
- 2.3. Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
To mitigate the risks of fraudulent use several measures have been and will be taken:
First, the Loan Agreement will comprise a set of provisions on inspection, fraud prevention, audits and recovery of funds in case of fraud or corruption. It is further envisaged that a number of specific policy reform measures will be attached to the assistance, including in the area of public finance management, with a view to strengthening efficiency, transparency and accountability. Also, the assistance will be paid to a specific account of the Central Bank of the partner.
Finally, the assistance will be liable to verification, control and auditing procedures under the responsibility of the Commission, including the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), and the European Court of Auditors as foreseen by Article 129 of the Financial Regulation
