Short-term interest-bearing debt, amounting to €307 million as at year-end 2018 (2017: €231 million), is made up of the current portion of the long-term debt (€7 million) and a bond loan that is due for redemption (€300 million).

As at year-end 2018, a carrying amount of €1,396 million (face value €1,400 million) had been issued under the EMTN programme. The notes issued under the EMTN programme are listed on the Amsterdam and Luxembourg stock exchanges. At the end of 2018, no short-term finance had been raised under the ECP programme (2017: €225 million).

The first tranche of €75 million in 2017 and the remaining €225 million were drawn in two tranches during 2018. The loan becomes repayable in full in 2031.
