Briefing
31-10-2024
The EU's debt stock reached EUR 547 billion by the end of September 2024 and is expected to increase by an additional EUR 448 billion under current commitments. Of this total, EUR 421 billion will ultimately finance grants, with the interest and principal repayments to be made jointly by EU countries through the EU budget. The remaining amount will finance loans to countries, which will be serviced as those countries repay their loans. The interest rate risk for the 2028-2034 MFF is expected to remain low.
