Do you have a question ?

  • Why do you estimate that debt securities issued by AFL are 5 to 8% risk weighted?

    AFL’s member local authorities guarantee all the financial commitments undertaken by AFL up to the amount of loans AFL granted to them.

    However not all the member local authorities are 0% risk weighted (some are still 20%).

    Taking into accounts the guarantees from the ones that are 0% risk weighted leads to a risk weighting of the debt securities issued by AFL between 5 and 8%.

  • What is the average duration of the loan portfolio?

    The average maturity of loans is 18 years, and because most of AFL’s loans are linear amortizing, the average duration is approximately 9 years.

  • Are your ESG issuances per project or for a pool

    ESG issuances are for a pool of loans. These loans are selected as per our methodology which is detailed in our Sustainability Bond Framework.

  • Why does AFL issue bonds in other currencies than euro?

    In order to diversify its investor base and to optimize its funding cost. AFL does not have any loan denominated in any other currency than EUR.

  • Do you provide ESG loans?

    AFL does not provide ESG loans. However, based on a screening methodology of local authority budgets (detailed in the Sustainable Bond Framework), ESG capital expenses can be financed by loans that are refinanced through AFL’s Sustainability Bond issuances.

  • What is the purpose of the scoring methodology while local governments are governed by a strict budget regulatory framework?

    Better assess the financial profile of each local authority with the objective to build up a financially sound and well distributed loan portfolio.

  • What kind of projects are you financing?

    AFL is only financing capital expenses of its members-shareholders and by so projects linked to their respective responsibilities and areas of intervention (such as transport, social work, waste management, water treatment and distribution, firefighting, schools, etc..).
