with registered office at 6a, Circuit de la Foire Internationale, L-1347 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg and registered with the Register of Commerce and Companies of Luxembourg (R.C.S.

"Prospectus") for the purpose of giving information in relation to (i) the Programme, (ii) the Notes (as
defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) to be issued under the Programme, (iii) itself as Issuer,
(iv) the euro-area Member States of the European Union other than the Hellenic Republic, Ireland, the
Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Cyprus or any other euro-area Member State which becomes a
Stepping-Out Guarantor (as described below) in respect of issues of Notes after the date when such euro-
area Member State becomes a Stepping-Out Guarantor provided that a Stepping-Out Guarantor may
guarantee any issue of Notes after the date on which it becomes a Stepping-In Guarantor (as described
below) (together the "Guarantors") and (v) the terms of the Deeds of Guarantee which are issued to
guarantee the Notes. The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Prospectus.
This Prospectus does not constitute a prospectus or a base prospectus for the purposes of Article 6 and
Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). This prospectus constitutes an
alleviated base prospectus for the purposes of Part III, Chapter 2 of the Luxembourg Prospectus Act on
prospectuses for securities dated 16 July 2019.
This Prospectus replaces and supersedes in its entirety the Prospectus dated 1 July 2022 relating to the
Programme.
Application may be made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for debt instruments issued under the debt
issuance programme (the "Programme") described in this Prospectus to be listed on the Official list of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to be admitted to trading on the Regulated Market of the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange. The Programme also permits debt securities to be issued on an unlisted basis or to be
admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation by such other further listing authorities, stock exchanges,
regulated markets and/or quotation systems as may be agreed with the Issuer. Notes will be issued in bearer
form and will, unless otherwise specified, only be sold outside the United States to non-US persons and
will, unless otherwise specified, initially be represented by a global note without interest coupons. This
Prospectus must be read and construed together with any amendments or supplements hereto and with any
information incorporated by reference herein and, in relation to any Tranche of Notes, must be read and
construed together with the relevant Final Terms. This Prospectus may only be used for the purpose for
which it has been published.
The Issuer confirms that this Prospectus (including each set of Final Terms) is true and accurate in all
material respects and is not misleading in any material respect; that any opinions, predictions or intentions
expressed herein are honestly held or made and are not misleading in any material respect; that this
Prospectus does not omit to state any material fact necessary to make such information, opinions,
predictions or intentions (in the context of the Programme, the issue, offering and sale of the Notes and the
guarantee of the Notes) not misleading in any material respect; and that all proper enquiries have been made
to verify the foregoing.
No person has been authorised to give any information or to make any representation not contained in or
not consistent with this Prospectus or any other document entered into in relation to the Programme or any
information supplied by the Issuer or any Guarantor or such other information as is in the public domain
and, if given or made, such information or representation should not be relied upon as having been
authorised by the Issuer, any Guarantor or any Dealer.
Neither the delivery of this Prospectus or any Final Terms nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Note

subsequent to the date hereof or the date upon which this Prospectus has been most recently amended or
supplemented or that there has been no adverse change, or any event reasonably likely to involve any
adverse change, in the prospects or financial or trading position of the Issuer or any Guarantor since the
date thereof or, if later, the date upon which this Prospectus has been most recently amended or
supplemented or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct at any
time subsequent to the date on which it is supplied or, if different, the date indicated in the document
containing the same.

certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus or any Final
Terms comes are required by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to

States, and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation

NEITHER THE PROGRAMME NOR THE NOTES HAVE BEEN APPROVED OR

ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION IN THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER U.S.
REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAS ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED
UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF ANY OFFERING OF NOTES OR THE ACCURACY
OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
A CRIMINAL OFFENCE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Neither this Prospectus nor any Final Terms constitutes an offer or an invitation to subscribe for or purchase
any Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer or any Guarantor that any
recipient of this Prospectus or any Final Terms should subscribe for or purchase any Notes. Each recipient
of this Prospectus or any Final Terms shall be taken to have made its own investigation and appraisal of the
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer and the Guarantors.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding and guaranteed at any one time under the
Programme will not exceed EUR 241,000,000,000 (and for this purpose, any Notes denominated in another
currency shall be converted into euro at the date of the agreement to issue such Notes based on an exchange
rate appearing on the European Central Bank website on the date of the issue of Notes).
In this Prospectus, unless otherwise specified, references to a "Member State" are references to a Member
State of the European Union, references to "U.S.$", "U.S. dollars" or "dollars" are to United States dollars,
references to "", EUR" or "euro" are to the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European
economic and monetary union, and as defined in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 974/98 of 3 May

EFSF has been assigned a rating of AA by S&P Global Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P"), Aaa by Moody's
Deutschland GmbH ("Moody's") and AA­ by Fitch Ratings Ireland Limited ("Fitch"). As of the date of
this Prospectus, each of S&P, Moody's and Fitch is established in the European Economic Area and is

Investors Service Limited and Fitch Ratings Limited respectively, each of which is established in the UK
and registered under Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on credit rating agencies as it forms part of domestic
law of the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "UK CRA
Regulation"). A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold the Notes and may be suspended,
revised or withdrawn at any time.


- iii -





STABILISATION
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) named as the
Stabilisation Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Manager(s)) in the
applicable Final Terms may over allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However,
stabilisation action may not occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which
adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if
begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date
of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche
of Notes. Any stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the Stabilisation
Manager(s) (or persons acting on behalf of the Stabilisation Manager(s)) in accordance with all
applicable laws and rules.
MIFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET
The Final Terms in respect of any Notes issued other than by the auction process will include a legend
entitled "MiFID II Product Governance" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the
Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration such determination;
however, a distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments ("MiFID II")
is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting
or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
The Issuer is exempt from MiFID II and does not constitute a manufacturer or a distributor under the
product governance rules set out in EU Delegated Directive 2017/593. The Issuer is therefore not subject
to the responsibilities conferred on manufacturers or distributors therein.
BENCHMARKS REGULATION
Amounts payable under the Floating Rate Notes may be calculated by reference to one or more
"benchmarks" for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 (the "Benchmarks Regulation"). In such
case, the relevant Final Terms shall include a statement as to whether or not the relevant administrator of
the "benchmark" appears on the register of administrators established and maintained by ESMA pursuant
to Article 36 of the Benchmarks Regulation.
DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
All amendments and supplements to this Prospectus prepared by the Issuer from time to time shall be
deemed to be incorporated in, and to form part of, this Prospectus, provided, however, that any statement
contained in this Prospectus or in any of the documents incorporated by reference in, and forming part of,
this Prospectus shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for the purpose of this Prospectus to the extent
that a statement contained in any document subsequently incorporated by reference modifies or supersedes
such statement.
The Issuer will, at its offices, provide, free of charge, upon written request, a copy of this Prospectus and
any document incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. Written or oral requests for such documents
should be directed to the offices of the Issuer.
This Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference to this Prospectus will be made available on

respectively).

Words and expressions defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" below or elsewhere in
this Prospectus have the same meanings in this summary.
Issuer:
European Financial Stability Facility, a société anonyme
incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with its

Luxembourg) under number B153414.
Guarantors:

euro (the "euro-area Member States"), other than the Hellenic
Republic, Ireland, the Portuguese Republic, the Republic of
Cyprus or any euro-area Member State which becomes a
Stepping-Out Guarantor (as defined in "Deeds of Guarantee"
below) in respect of any issue of Notes after the date on which it
becomes a Stepping-Out Guarantor on a several basis pursuant to
a guarantee the terms of which are set out in "Deeds of Guarantee"
below, provided that a Stepping-Out Guarantor may guarantee any
issue of Notes after the date on which it becomes a Stepping-In

"Over-Guarantee Percentage") of its Guarantee Contribution
Key % (as defined in "Deeds of Guarantee" below) of all sums
expressed to be payable from time to time by the Issuer under the
Trust Deed or in respect of the Notes. The Guarantors, their
respective Guarantee Contribution Key % and the Over-Guarantee
Percentage applicable in respect of each issue of Notes (the
"Applicable Over-Guarantee Percentage") will be specified in
the Final Terms for such issue of Notes because the identity of the
Guarantors, the Applicable Over-Guarantee Percentage and their
respective Guarantee Contribution Key % may be adjusted over
time to take into account, for example, Stepping-Out Guarantors
(as defined in "Deeds of Guarantee" below), Stepping-In
Guarantors (as defined in "Deeds of Guarantee" below) or new
Member States which adhere to the European Financial Stability
Facility.
The Deeds of Guarantee were issued pursuant to the terms of a
framework agreement (the "Framework Agreement") entered
into between the Issuer and the euro-area Member States. Under
the Framework Agreement, EFSF may also request the euro-area
Member States to issue guarantees for other purposes which are
closely-linked to an issue of Funding Instruments and which
facilitates the obtaining and maintenance of a high quality rating
for Funding Instruments issued by EFSF and efficient funding by
EFSF.
No Guarantor shall be required to issue guarantees which would
result in it having a Guarantee Notional Exposure (as described in
the "Description of the Issuer" below) in excess of its aggregate
guarantee commitment as set out on page 66.

which the Issuer may incur in respect of Notes or Designated
