18 European financial assistance: ESM Capital structure of the ESM The European Stability Mechanism (ESM) was established by international treaty as an international financial institution. As a permanent Emergency Financing Mechanism, it replaces the temporary European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF). Following Latvia s accession in 2014 and Lithuania s accession in 2015, the ESM has a capital stock of around 704.8bn. This is made up of around 80.5bn of paid-in capital and around 624.3bn of callable capital. The individual member states shares in the ESM financing are based on their share of capital in the European Central Bank (ECB), with fixed-term transitional provisions applicable to some new member states. Germany s share in the ESM financing is 26.96%. This amounts to around 21.7bn of paid-in capital and around 168.3bn of callable capital. Unlike under the EFSF, Germany does not offer guarantees for the ESM's financing operations. As set forth in Annex II to the ESM Treaty, Germany's risk of liability for the ESM is limited in all circumstances to a total of approximately 190.0bn. Since 30 April 2014, around 80.0bn in capital has been paid in by the ESM member states. The ESM has therefore reached its maximum lending capacity of 500.0bn. 18

21 Spain Programme overview On 25 June 2012, Spain applied for financial assistance from the eurozone member states to support its banks. On 20 July 2012, the Eurogroup approved the bank programme. The programme was for a maximum volume of 100.0bn and had a duration of 18 months. All of the implementation reports from the European Commission and the ECB confirmed that the programme's conditions were being met on schedule, and a total of around 41.3bn was disbursed to the Spanish FROB bank recapitalisation fund (Fondo de Reestructuración Ordenada Bancaria) in the form of ESM notes. This means the amount disbursement was far below the ceiling of 100.0bn when the programme ended on 23 January Under the terms of the agreement, Spain was to start repayment in Spain repaid the ESM part of the financial assistance it received early ( 5.6bn), which means that its annual amortisation between 2022 and 2027 will be correspondingly lower.

22 Cyprus Programme overview Cyprus submitted a request for financial assistance to the EU on 25 June 2012 and to the IMF on the following day. At the request of the Eurogroup, the Commission, ECB and IMF (Troika) prepared a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for an adjustment programme, with conditionality covering the following key elements: (1) securing the stability of the financial sector, (2) fiscal consolidation and (3) structural reforms to enhance competitiveness and growth. On 15 and 24 March 2013, the Eurogroup agreed on the main elements of an assistance programme. After the Troika had worked out the details of the programme for Cyprus, the German Bundestag gave its approval on 18 April The ESM adopted the adjustment programme on 8 May The programme provides financial assistance totalling 10.0bn (approximately 9.0bn from the ESM, and approximately 1.0bn from the IMF = XDR 0.9bn). The programme began in the second quarter of 2013 and runs until the first quarter of Programme volume in bn ESM IMF* Programme total in bn Already disbursed Still available Total** *The total for funding from the IMF is subject to exchange-rate fluctuations.
