Private placements

A private placement of an EU bond involves its placement with pre-selected investors and institutions rather than through public offer. This technique is typically used for the placement of small amounts (up to €300 million) with one or more institutional investors.

In the past, the Commission has mainly used private placements for transactions under its MFA programme.

The Commission continues to use private placements as a transaction format where appropriate.
