The Directorate General of the Treasury issued this resolution to update Annex 1 of the July 2017 financial prudence resolution, establishing the maximum fixed interest rates and Euribor differentials applicable to borrowing operations by Spanish autonomous communities and local entities. The update, based on market data from 4 December 2017, provides specific cost ceilings to ensure compliance with the requirement that total financing costs do not exceed the State's financing cost plus applicable differentials. The document includes a comprehensive table of rates for various maturities and specifies calculation methodologies, including linear interpolation for unlisted terms and basis adjustments.

14333 Resolution of 5 December 2017, of the Directorate General of the Treasury, updating Annex 1 included in the Resolution of 4 July 2017 of the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities.

The Resolution of 4 July 2017 of the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities, establishes in its third section that "the maximum total cost of borrowing operations, including commissions and other expenses, except for those commissions cited in Annex 3, shall not exceed the State's financing cost at the average term of the operation, increased by the corresponding differential 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 remaining 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, 5 December 2017.–The Director General of the Treasury, Carlos San Basilio Pardo.

The base used for the calculation of the maximum annual fixed rate contained in the table above is the Actual/Actual base. In the event that a base 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 the present table shall be found by linear interpolation between the two rates or differentials closest 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 of the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financial Policy, which defines the principle of financial prudence applicable to borrowing and derivative operations of autonomous communities and local entities, may be applied.
