View answerThe Exchequer currently has no bilateral loans from other States.
As part of the Joint EU-IMF Programme of Financial Support which Ireland entered in late 2010, Ireland borrowed bilaterally from the UK, Sweden, and Denmark.
However, each of those bilateral loans has been fully repaid, with those from Sweden and Denmark repaid in late 2017 and the loan from the UK repaid over the period from April 2019 to March 2021.
