The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE) on June 22, 2021 marked the listing of the first bond issued by the European Commission under the landmark NextGenerationEU recovery instrument. Luxembourg Minister of Finance Pierre Gramegna attended the listing ceremony virtually and addressed the audience: “The first bond under NextGenerationEU is a historic milestone and a strong signal of European solidarity – for the first time since its creation, the European Union has issued joint debt. I welcome the excellent collaboration between the Commission’s funding team in Luxembourg and the financial centre ecosystem in making this “Hamiltonian” moment possible. This first recovery bond issued by the EU under Luxembourg law and listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange will help finance a sustainable economic recovery across all member states.”
