Resolution of 3 December 2019 updating Annex 1 on financial prudency principles for autonomous communities and local entities

III. OTHER PROVISIONS MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND ENTERPRISE 17629 Resolution of 3 December 2019, from the Secretary General of the Treasury and International Financing, updating Annex 1 included in the Resolution of 4 July 2017, from the Secretary General of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudency applicable to debt and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities.

The Resolution of 4 July 2017, from the Secretary General of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudency applicable to debt and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities, establishes in its third section that "the maximum total cost of debt operations, including commissions and other expenses, except for the commissions cited in Annex 3, shall 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 possess 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 remaining Administrations, to determine the State's financing cost at each average term, shall use the fixed rates table or the maximum differentials applicable to each reference that the General Directorate of the Treasury and Financial Policy publishes monthly via Resolution. The published maximum costs shall 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.

Considering the current State financing costs, in the case of loan operations, if the maximum total cost referred to in the third section of the Resolution of 4 July 2017, from the Secretary General of the Treasury and Financial Policy, were negative, loans may be formalized at a rate of 0%.

Madrid, 3 December 2019.–The Secretary General of the Treasury and International Financing, Carlos San Basilio Pardo.

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 shall 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 Euribor, the maximum differentials contained in Annex 3 of the Resolution of 4 July 2017, from the Secretary General of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudency applicable to debt and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities, may be applied.

Given the current levels of State financing cost, in the case of loan operations, if the maximum total cost referred to in the third section of the aforementioned Resolution were negative, loans may be formalized at a rate of 0%.
