Missions / objets :

The ESM’s mission is to enable the countries of the euro area to avoid and overcome financial crises and to maintain long-term financial stability and prosperity. ESM can provide financial assistance to euro area countries experiencing or threatened by severe financing problems. This assistance is granted only if it is proven necessary to safeguard the financial stability of the euro area as a whole and of ESM Members.

For this, the ESM counts on several instruments. The ESM can grant a loan as part of a macroeconomic adjustment programme, such as the one that was already used by Cyprus and Greece. Ireland, Greece, and Portugal have used similar programmes delivered by the EFSF. The only other instrument used was an ESM loan to recapitalise banks which was provided to Spain. See the full ESM toolkit below.

Apart from these instruments, the ESM has created Pandemic Crisis Support, a credit line available to ESM Members to support domestic financing of healthcare, cure and prevention related costs due to the COVID-19 crisis. This credit line is available until the end of 2022.
