Appendix 2
Ireland: Regaining Creditworthiness
Ireland continues its macro/fiscal recovery in 2013
•
Government deficit of 7.5% of GDP in 2012 means target was beaten by a wide margin
again; this time full percentage point below EU (EDP) target
 Second year of outperformance, following deficit 1.5pp of GDP lower in 2011
 Fiscal data for first half of 2013 point to further progress; Revenue slightly better-thanexpectations and expenditure control is quite tight
 EDP target of 7.5% of GDP looks readily achievable at this stage
•
Second consecutive year of real and nominal GDP growth in 2012
 Export growth remained resilient in 2012, despite weak external demand
 Domestic demand bottoming over last nine months, ending five-year drag
 Unemployment rate drops from high of 15.1% to 13.7% as of latest data
 Ireland’s GDP growth expected to be among highest in euro area for 2013/14
•
Banking-related contingent liabilities for the State reduced sharply
 Pillar bank deleveraging almost complete: haircuts smaller-than-feared
 State has reformed insolvency laws to deal with mortgage debt overhang
 Ireland's main contingent liability being reduced: NAMA is well on track to repay €7.5bn
of its senior bonds by end-2013 (repaid €6.25bn thus far)
 Ending of ELG scheme for new liabilities after 28th March 2013 marks significant step
towards banking system normalisation; ECB reliance now only ~20% of GDP
28
NTMA working plan to normalise market access in
2013 is on track
•
NTMA issued a new 10yr benchmark Treasury Bond in March 2013
 Sold €5bn of 2023 bond at 4.15% through a syndicate of six primary dealers; first 10yr
issuance since January 2010 (well below previous yield of 5.09%)
 Broad investor interest: over 400 investors submitted bids, including fund managers,
pension funds, banks and insurance companies
 82 per cent by overseas investors; mainly from the U.K. (25%), Germany (12%), the Nordic
region (12%), France (11%) and U.S. (7%)
•
NTMA also issued conventional bond via syndication in January 2013
 Sold €2.5bn of 2017 bond at 3.32% through syndicate of five primary dealers: the first
such syndicated deal for three years
 Investor spread was broad-based and skewed towards real money accounts across the
UK, euro area and US
 This followed the initial return to the Treasury Bill and bond market in 2012
•
Next steps towards sustainable market re-entry in early 2014
 Continue regular schedule of Treasury Bill auctions – rate fell to 0.2% or lower over 5th–
11th auctions (Jan-Jul 2013) from 1.8% at first auction (July 2012)
 Continue to engage with investors on a regular basis: the NTMA conducted two non-deal
road shows each year during both 2011 and 2012
 Possibility of MLT bond auction(s) in Q4 2013 after Budget 2014

* The Mar-2013 holdings are adjusted here for the recent IBRC Promissory Note repayment (non-cash settlement) which
resulted in €25bn of long-dated Government bonds being issued to the Central Bank of Ireland on liquidation of IBRC. This
transaction results in a large increase in the share of resident holdings.
31
Total funding requirement declining steadily (€bn)
•
Funding requirement
substantially improved since
Budget 2013 (Dec. 2012)
following sale of BOI CoCos and
Irish Life. Restructuring of IBRC
Promissory Note and extension of
EFSF/EFSM maturities also of
significant benefit
25
EFSF/EFSM maturity extension and banking-related deals meant
that 2014-15 funding requirement was dramatically reduced;
NTMA has already pre-funded that lower 2014 requirement
(shaded) via its 2012 and 2013 market forays

Latest Est. Funding Requirement
Est. Funding Requirement (Budget '13, Dec 2012)
1. “Est. Funding Requirement” includes the EBR, maturing Government bonds and EU/IMF Programme loans.
2. EFSF loans have been extended by a weighted average 7 years . EFSM loans are also subject to a 7 year extension.
It is not expected that Ireland will have to refinance any of its EFSM loans before 2027. A €5bn EFSM loan originally
32
due to mature in 2015 is therefore no longer part of the “Latest Est. Funding Requirement” in 2015.
