The Northern Ireland Executive can currently borrow up to £200m per year, up to a total of £3bn, from the UK\u2019s National Loans Fund (NLF), through the Reinvestment and Reform Initiative (RRI).<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Any loans from the European Investment Bank which were additional to the NLF borrowing would, like the existing facility, count towards the UK\u2019s overall Public Sector Net Cash Requirement (PSNCR) and would have the effect of increasing the overall level of public spending. For this reason, any Northern Ireland Executive borrowing needs to be within the £200m per year limits which are provided for within the devolved administration\u2019s total budgets each year. Any increases in borrowing beyond the agreed limits must be offset by reductions in other spending to avoid adding to the overall limits on public spending set out by the Government. Such reductions could be enforced by cuts to the \u2018block grant\u2019 portion of NI budgets if the Northern Ireland Executive did not make other offsetting savings.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>It is important to recognise that bodies other than the Northern Ireland Executive can bid for EIB loans in Northern Ireland. In January 2014, the University of Ulster secured a £150m loan to help build its new Belfast campus, and the Northern Ireland Finance Minister has been encouraging councils within the new local authority structures in Northern Ireland to consider the EIB as a source of finance for infrastructure investment.<\/p>"}
