Call on the capital and money markets

Given a lower expected funding need, the call on the money market will be decreased accordingly. The call on the capital market remains unchanged at €50 billion nominal, excluding the non-competitive option and excluding the ORI pilot auctions. The ORI auctions are reflected in the overall funding plan of the DSTA and will hence result in a lower call on the money market.
