Politis: Five years after the crisis, two years after the programme ended, what is your feeling about the Cyprus economy today?
Luxembourg – The European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) raised €4 billion today in a new 5-year benchmark bond, completing the EFSF’s funding needs for 2018.
“The EFSF had not issued in the 5-year maturity this year, hence today we added liquidity in that part of the curve. Thanks to the good order book, today’s transaction allowed us to raise the remaining €4 billion in our funding plan for 2018,” said Siegfried Ruhl, EFSF Head of Funding and Investor Relations.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I am very happy to be here, and would like to give you the view from the ESM on the topic of the panel. “From Repair to Vision” – that title is chosen well. First, let me talk about repairs.
This joint staff paper sheds light on the existing cooperation between the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Regional Financing Arrangements (RFAs) and suggests further avenues to enhance their work together. It offers a collective RFA reply to the IMF’s recent policy paper on collaboration issues.
