The Annual Report presents the duties, organisation and staff of Agence France Trésor in 2022, a year that was marked by the acceleration of inflation after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine and the swift normalization of monetary policy.
The year 2022 was characterised by:
(i) the completion of a €260 billion medium- and long-term financing programme;
(ii) the financing conditions marked by the accelerated normalisation of monetary policy, which has resulted in a rapid rise in interest rates, with the cost of borrowing for medium- and long-term debt securities averaging 1.43% in 2022;
(iii) the syndicated launch of 2 new very long-term benchmark bonds, 30-year (inflation-linked) and 20-year:
- the OAT€i 0.10% 25 July 2053, in January 2022, with an issuance of €3 billion and a historically low real yield at issue of -0.926%,
- the OAT 2.50% 25 May 2043, in September 2022, with issuance of €5 billion and a yield at issue of 2.596%;
(iv) the syndicated launch of a third Green OAT in May 2022: the Green inflation-linked OAT€i 0.10% 25 July 2038, with issuance of €4 billion, with a yield at issue of -0.415%. As the first security to be both green and inflation-indexed, the Green OAT€i offers unique features and has met with strong market demand since its launch. In total, AFT's teams issued €9.6 billion of green bonds in 2022, as well as €38 billion of social bonds on behalf of the Social Security Debt Repayment Fund (CADES).
