Operational funding
During 2017, the operational funding increased EUR 0.6 billion due to new FHLB advances of EUR 1.3 billion and two covered bond issuances in the Netherlands of EUR 0.5 billion in June and November 2017. This was partly offset by the redemption of Seacure
12 in the Netherlands of EUR 1.0 billion and the redemption of operational funding of EUR 0.4 billion supporting a captive insurance company, which was dissolved following the divestment of a block of life reinsurance business in the Americas. Next to this there was a decrease of EUR 0.5 billion as result of foreign exchange impacts on the US dollar positions as a result of the strengthening of the euro.
During 2016, Aegon redeemed EUR 450 million of ECB LTRO, EUR 225 million of ECB MRO, EUR 737 million of regular borrowings and repurchased the mortgage loans from SAECURE 9 and SAECURE 10 for EUR 1,658 million. In addition, Aegon entered into a USD 3 billion new liquidity program from the Federal Home Loan Bank and issued a EUR 500 million covered bond.
