THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 47 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 47 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provides that national central banks of Member States with a derogation (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) do not need to pay up their subscribed capital unless the General Council of the European Central Bank (ECB), acting by a majority representing at least two thirds of the subscribed capital of the ECB and at least half of the shareholders, decides that a minimal percentage has to be paid up as a contribution to the ECB’s operational costs. |

Article 47 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provides that national central banks of Member States with a derogation (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) do not need to pay up their subscribed capital unless the General Council of the European Central Bank (ECB), acting by a majority representing at least two thirds of the subscribed capital of the ECB and at least half of the shareholders, decides that a minimal percentage has to be paid up as a contribution to the ECB’s operational costs.

| (2) | Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2019/48 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/32) (1) provides that each non-euro area NCB shall pay up 3,75 % of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital with effect from 1 January 2019. |

Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2019/48 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/32) (1) provides that each non-euro area NCB shall pay up 3,75 % of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital with effect from 1 January 2019.

| (3) | On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the European Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date following the date referred to in Article 1(1) of Decision (EU) 2019/1810 of the European Council (2). Upon the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Bank of England (BoE) ceases to be a national central bank of a Member State and therefore of the European System of Central Banks. Decision (EU) 2020/137 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/3) (3) provides for the adjustment of the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key’) in accordance with Article 29.3 and Article 29.4 of the Statute of the ESCB and establishes with effect from 1 February 2020 the new weightings assigned to the national central banks in the adjusted capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’). |

Decision (EU) 2020/137 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/3) (3) provides for the adjustment of the key for subscription to the ECB’s capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key’) in accordance with Article 29.3 and Article 29.4 of the Statute of the ESCB and establishes with effect from 1 February 2020 the new weightings assigned to the national central banks in the adjusted capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’).

| (4) | The adjustment of the ECB’s capital key triggered by the BoE ceasing to be a national central bank of a Member State requires the adoption of a new ECB decision, which, from the date of its application, repeals Decision (EU) 2019/48 (ECB/2018/32) and determines the percentage of the ECB’s subscribed capital which the non-euro area NCBs are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 February 2020, |

DECISION (EU) 2020/139 OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 22 January 2020

laying down the terms and conditions for transfers of the European Central Bank’s capital shares between the national central banks and for the adjustment of the paid-up capital and repealing Decision (EU) 2019/45 (ECB/2020/5)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 28.5 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the European Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date following the date referred to in Article 1(1) of Decision (EU) 2019/1810 of the European Council (1). Upon the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Bank of England (BoE) ceases to be a national central bank of a Member State and therefore of the European System of Central Banks. Decision (EU) 2020/137 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/3) (2) provides for the adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively). This adjustment requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the European System of Central Banks on 31 January 2020, in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new decision is required to repeal Decision (EU) 2019/45 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/29) (3) with effect from 1 February 2020. |

On 29 March 2017, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the ‘United Kingdom’) submitted the notification of its intention to withdraw from the European Union pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union. The Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union will cease to apply to the United Kingdom from the date following the date referred to in Article 1(1) of Decision (EU) 2019/1810 of the European Council (1). Upon the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, the Bank of England (BoE) ceases to be a national central bank of a Member State and therefore of the European System of Central Banks. Decision (EU) 2020/137 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/3) (2) provides for the adjustment of the weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the key for subscription to the European Central Bank’s (ECB’s) capital (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’ and the ‘capital key’ respectively). This adjustment requires the Governing Council to determine the terms and conditions for transfers of capital shares between the NCBs that are members of the European System of Central Banks on 31 January 2020, in order to ensure that the distribution of these shares corresponds to the adjustments made. Accordingly, the adoption of a new decision is required to repeal Decision (EU) 2019/45 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/29) (3) with effect from 1 February 2020.

| (2) | Decision (EU) 2020/138 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/4) (4) determines how and to what extent the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter ‘euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up the ECB’s capital in view of the adjusted capital key. Decision (EU) 2020/136 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/2) (5) determines the percentage that the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is not the euro (hereinafter ‘non-euro area NCBs’) are under an obligation to pay up with effect from 1 February 2020 in view of the adjusted capital key. |

| (3) | Given that each euro area NCB has already paid up its full share in the ECB’s subscribed capital as applicable until 31 January 2020 under Decision (EU) 2019/44 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/28) (6), under Decision (EU) 2020/138 (ECB/2020/4) each euro area NCB should transfer additional amounts to the ECB in order to arrive by 2022 at the amounts shown in the table in Article 1 of that Decision. |

Likewise, given that the non-euro area NCBs have already paid up a percentage of their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital as applicable until 31 January 2020 under Decision (EU) 2019/48 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2018/32) (7), under Decision (EU) 2020/136 (ECB/2020/2) each remaining non-euro area NCB should transfer an additional amount to the ECB in order to arrive at the amounts shown in the third column of the table in Article 1 of that Decision,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Transfer of capital shares

Given the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB will have subscribed to on 31 January 2020, and the share in the ECB’s capital that each NCB shall subscribe to with effect from 1 February 2020 as a consequence of adjusting the capital key weightings as laid down in Article 2 of Decision (EU) 2020/137 (ECB/2020/3), the NCBs shall transfer capital shares among themselves via transfers to and from the ECB to ensure that the distribution of capital shares with effect from 1 February 2020 corresponds to the adjusted weightings. To this effect, each NCB shall, by virtue of this Article and without the need for any further formality or act, be deemed to have either transferred or received with effect from 1 February 2020 the share in the ECB’s subscribed capital shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to a capital share that the ECB shall transfer to the NCB and ‘-’ to a capital share that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB.

Article 2

Adjustment of the paid-up capital

1.   Given the amount of the ECB’s capital that each euro area NCB has paid up as of 1 January 2019, and the amount of the ECB’s capital that each euro area NCB shall pay up pursuant to Article 1 and Article 2(1) of Decision (EU) 2020/138 (ECB/2020/4), on the first operating day of the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer system (TARGET2) following 1 February 2020 each euro area NCB shall, with respect to the first capital instalment, transfer or receive the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision, whereby ‘+’ shall refer to an amount that the NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘-’ to an amount that the ECB shall transfer to that NCB. Each euro area NCB shall make two further instalments two business days before the last operating day of TARGET2 of 2021 and 2022 respectively by transferring the net amount shown next to its name in the sixth and eighth columns, respectively, of the table in Annex II to this Decision.

2.   Given the amount of the ECB’s capital that each non-euro area NCB has paid up as of 1 January 2019 and the amount of the ECB’s capital that each non-euro area NCB shall pay up with effect from 1 February 2020 pursuant to Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2020/136 (ECB/2020/2), on the first operating day of TARGET2 following 1 February 2020 each NCB shall transfer the net amount shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex II to this Decision.

3.   On the first operating day of TARGET2 following 1 February 2020, the ECB and the euro area NCBs that are under an obligation to transfer, as a first instalment, an amount under paragraph 1, and the non-euro area NCBs that are under an obligation to transfer an amount under paragraph 2, shall each separately transfer any interest on the respective amounts due accruing over the period from 1 February 2020 until the date of the transfer. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.

Article 3

General provisions

1.   The transfers described in Article 2 shall take place through TARGET2.

2.   Where an NCB does not have access to TARGET2, the amounts described in Article 2 shall be transferred by crediting an account that the ECB or NCB shall nominate in due time.

3.   Any interest accruing under Article 2(3) shall be calculated on a daily basis, using the actual-over-360-day method of calculation, at a rate equal to the latest available marginal interest rate used by the Eurosystem in its tenders for main refinancing operations.

4.   The ECB and the NCBs that are under an obligation to make a transfer under Article 2 shall, in due course, give the necessary instructions for duly executing such transfer on time.

Article 4

Entry into force and repeal

1.   This Decision shall enter into force on 1 February 2020.

2.   Decision (EU) 2019/45 (ECB/2018/29) is repealed with effect from 1 February 2020.

Decision (EU) 2020/137 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2020/3) (2) provides for the adjustment of the key for subscription to the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) (hereinafter the ‘capital key’) in accordance with Article 29.3 and Article 29.4 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) and establishes, with effect from 1 February 2020, the new weightings assigned to the national central banks (NCBs) in the adjusted capital key (hereinafter the ‘capital key weightings’).

| (2) | The adjustments to the capital key weightings and the resulting changes in the NCBs’ shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital make it necessary to adjust the claims which the ECB has credited under Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area NCBs’) and which are equivalent to the contributions by euro area NCBs of foreign reserve assets to the ECB (hereinafter the ‘claims’). Those euro area NCBs whose claims increase from 1 February 2020 should therefore effect a compensatory transfer to the ECB, while the ECB should effect a compensatory transfer to those euro area NCBs whose claims decrease. |

The adjustments to the capital key weightings and the resulting changes in the NCBs’ shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital make it necessary to adjust the claims which the ECB has credited under Article 30.3 of the Statute of the ESCB to the NCBs of the Member States whose currency is the euro (hereinafter the ‘euro area NCBs’) and which are equivalent to the contributions by euro area NCBs of foreign reserve assets to the ECB (hereinafter the ‘claims’). Those euro area NCBs whose claims increase from 1 February 2020 should therefore effect a compensatory transfer to the ECB, while the ECB should effect a compensatory transfer to those euro area NCBs whose claims decrease.

| (3) | In accordance with the general principles of fairness, equal treatment and the protection of legitimate expectations underlying the Statute of the ESCB, those euro area NCBs whose relative share in the ECB’s accumulated equity value increases due to the abovementioned adjustments should also effect a compensatory transfer to those euro area NCBs whose relative shares decrease. |

| (4) | The respective capital key weightings of each euro area NCB until 31 January 2020 and with effect from 1 February 2020 should be expressed as a percentage of the ECB’s total capital as subscribed to by all euro area NCBs for the purpose of calculating the adjustment of the value of each euro area NCB’s share in the ECB’s accumulated equity value. |

Article 2

Contribution to the ECB’s reserves and provisions

1.   If a euro area NCB’s share in the accumulated equity value increases with effect from 1 February 2020, that euro area NCB shall transfer the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 3 to the ECB on the transfer date.

2.   If a euro area NCB’s share in the accumulated equity value decreases with effect from 1 February 2020, that euro area NCB shall receive the amount determined pursuant to paragraph 3 from the ECB on the transfer date.

3.   The ECB shall, at the latest, one business day prior to the transfer date, calculate and confirm to each euro area NCB either the amount to be transferred by that euro area NCB to the ECB where paragraph 1 applies, or the amount which that euro area NCB shall receive from the ECB where paragraph 2 applies. Subject to rounding, each amount to be transferred or received shall be calculated by multiplying the accumulated equity value by the absolute difference between each euro area NCB’s capital key weighting on 31 January 2020 and its capital key weighting with effect from 1 February 2020 and dividing the result by 100.

4.   Each amount described in paragraph 3 shall be due in euro on 1 February 2020 but shall be effectively transferred on the transfer date.

2.   Each euro area NCB shall, by virtue of this provision and without any further formality or act being required, be considered to have either transferred or received on 1 February 2020 the absolute value of the claim in euro shown next to its name in the fourth column of the table in Annex I to this Decision, whereby ‘-’ shall refer to a claim that the euro area NCB shall transfer to the ECB and ‘+’ to a claim that the ECB shall transfer to the euro area NCB.

On the first operating day of TARGET2 following 1 February 2020, a euro area NCB or the ECB required to transfer an amount under paragraph 3 shall also separately transfer any interest accruing over the period from 1 February 2020 until the date of that transfer on the respective amount due from such euro area NCB or the ECB. The transferors and recipients of this interest shall be the same as the transferors and recipients of the amounts on which the interest accrues.

1.   By way of derogation from the third subparagraph of Article 2(1) of Decision (EU) 2016/2248 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2016/36) (5), the intra-Eurosystem balances on euro banknotes in circulation shall, for the period from 1 February 2020 until 27 February 2020, be calculated on the basis of the capital key applicable from 1 February 2020 applied to balances on the total euro banknotes in circulation on 31 January 2020. For the period from 1 February 2020 until 31 December 2020, the compensatory amounts and the accounting entries to balance those amounts, as described in Article 4(5) of Decision (EU) 2016/2248 (ECB/2016/36), shall be recorded in the books of each national central bank with a value date of 1 February 2020.

Each euro area NCB whose capital key weighting increases on 1 February 2020 shall make such a payment to the ECB, and the ECB shall make such a payment to each euro area NCB whose capital key weighting decreases on 1 February 2020. The amount of the compensatory payments shall be calculated as follows: the total monetary income for the period from 1 January 2020 until 31 January 2020 transferred to the ECB to cover its loss shall be multiplied by the absolute difference between the relevant euro area NCB’s capital key weighting on 31 January 2020 and its capital key weighting with effect from 1 February 2020 and the result shall be divided by 100. Interest on compensatory payments relating to the NCBs’ monetary income shall accrue from 1 January 2021 until the date these payments are made.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Amendments

1.   The final sentence of Article 1(d) of Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the following:

‘Annex I to this Decision specifies the banknote allocation key that shall apply from 1 February 2020.’

2.   Annex I to Decision ECB/2010/29 is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2
