Interest rate subsidy 2023 in relation to the Union¿s exceptional macro-financial assistance of 2022 Contract related to: Interest rate subsidy 2023 in relation to the Union¿s exceptional macro-financial assistance of 2022 - The aim of this decision is to subsidize the interest rate due by Ukraine in 2023 (EUR 100 million) in relation to the Union¿s exceptional macro-financial assistance of 2022. This corresponds to EUR 100 million worth of savings for the Ukrainian budget 2023.As part of the response to Russia ongoing unprovoked and unjustified war of aggression against Ukraine, the Union¿s exceptional macro-financial assistance provided swift and urgent support to the Ukrainian budget in 2022. Two decisions were adopted to this aim: Decision (EU) 2022/1201 of July 2022 (up to EUR 1 billion) and Decision (EU) 2022/1628 of September 2022 (up to EUR 5 billion).By derogation from Article 220(5), point (e), of the Financial Regulation, the Union may bear interest by granting an interest rate subsidy in respect of the loans under both Decisions. Ukraine may request the interest rate subsidy by the Union by the end of March of each year.Ukraine submitted the official request for 2023 on 6 February 2023. The total due for 2023 amounts to about EUR 100 million, split in 4 subsequent payments; the first payment is due in August 2023 and the last one is due in November 2023.Decision (EU) 2022/1628 establishes that the financial envelope of the geographic programme ¿Neighbourhood¿ of the NDICI-Global Europe shall be used to cover such subsidy. To this aim, funds will be transferred from the article ¿Emergency challenges and priorities cushion¿ (14.02 04) to the item ¿Neighbourhood East¿ (14.02 01 11).This option responds to unforeseen needs and circumstances not contemplated in the multi-annual programming document for Ukraine; this explains why it is a special measure in the meaning of article 23(4) of NDICI Regulation.All transactions related to the subsidy will be handled by Commission services (NEAR and BUDG), with no transfer of funds to Ukraine. Consequently, the decision bears a simplified annex (instead of the ¿action document¿ of a programme) and there will be no financing agreement signed with Ukraine.
