Stock of central government guarantees EUR 15.4 billion at the end of March 2009

The stock of central government guarantees stood at EUR 15.4 billion at the end of March 2009. In the first quarter of 2009 new central government guarantees were granted to the amount of EUR 0.3 billion, which is clearly less than in the preceding quarters of 2008. Nevertheless, at the end of March 2009 the stock of guarantees was still one per cent higher than at the end of 2008 and 17 per cent higher than at the end of March 2008. Central government guarantees include all guarantees for which the state is ultimately liable.

At the end of March, a total of 48 per cent of the stock of central government guarantees consisted of guarantees to enterprises. Guarantees granted to housing associations made up 26 per cent and those to households 20 per cent of the guarantee stock. The remaining 6 per cent of the stock of central government guarantees was divided among insurance and financial corporations, public sector entities and foreign countries.
