The Directorate General of the Treasury issued a resolution on 7 December 2016 to update Annex 1 of the Resolution of 16 September 2016, which defines the financial prudence principle applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities. This update provides the new maximum fixed interest rates and maximum differentials over the Euribor for various operational maturities, serving as the benchmark for calculating the maximum total cost of financing. The document specifies that these rates are calculated using the Actual/Actual day count basis and allows for linear interpolation for maturities not explicitly listed in the table.

11667 Resolution of 7 December 2016, of the Directorate General of the Treasury, updating Annex 1 included in the Resolution of 16 September 2016, by which the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities is defined.
The Resolution of 16 September 2016, of the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financial Policy, by which the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities is defined, establishes in its third section that "the maximum total cost of borrowing operations, including commissions and other expenses, except for the commissions cited in Annex 3, may not exceed the State's financing cost at the average term of the operation, increased by the differential corresponding as established in Annex 3 of this Resolution.
Autonomous Communities and Local Entities that have their own valuation tools or independent external advice may determine the Treasury's financing cost at the time of the operation based on the methodology contained in Annex 2 of this Resolution.
The rest of the Administrations, to know the State's financing cost at each average term, will use the fixed rates table or the maximum differentials applicable on each reference that the Directorate General of the Treasury publishes monthly, by Resolution. The published maximum costs will remain in force until new costs are published."
In accordance with this obligation to update monthly the State's financing cost at each term, a new Annex 1 is published.
Madrid, 7 December 2016.–The Director General of the Treasury, José María Fernández Rodríguez.

The basis used for the calculation of the maximum annual fixed rate contained in the table above is the Actual/Actual basis. In the event that a basis other than the aforementioned is used, the appropriate adjustment must be made.
In those fixed-rate operations with an interest accrual period different from one year, the maximum fixed rate must be calculated as the rate equivalent to the annual fixed rate for the considered accrual period.
The maximum fixed interest rates and differentials applicable for operations whose exact average life is not published in this table shall be found by linear interpolation between the two closest rates or differentials to the average term of the operation.
Regarding these fixed interest rates or differentials over the Euribor, the maximum differentials contained in Annex 3 of the Resolution of 16 September 2016 of the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financial Policy, by which the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities is defined, may be applied.
