As  of  December  31,  2017,  the  unused  borrowing  capacity  under  our  $9.0  billion  credit  facility  was  approximately  $8.9  billion.  The  credit  facility  does  not  require  us  to  comply  with  financial  covenants  or  maintain  specified  credit  ratings,  and  it  permits  us  to  borrow  even  if  our  business  has  incurred  a  material  adverse  change.  We  use  the  credit  facility  for  the  issuance  of  letters  of  credit  and  for  general  corporate  purposes.  In  March  2016,  we  entered  into  a  credit  facility  insured  by  Eksportkreditnamnden  Stockholm,  Sweden  (EKN),  the  Swedish  export  credit  agency.  As  of  December  31,  2017,  we  had  an  outstanding  balance  of  $0.8  billion.  We  used  this  credit  facility  to  finance  network  equipment-related  purchases.  In  July  2017,  we  entered  into  credit  facilities  insured  by  various  export  credit  agencies  with  the  ability  to  borrow  up  to  $4.0  billion  to  finance  equipment-related  purchases.  The  facilities  have  borrowings  available,  portions  of  which  extend  through  October  2019,  contingent  upon  the  amount  of  eligible  equipment-related  purchases  made  by  Verizon.  At  December  31,  2017,  we  had  not  drawn  on  these  facilities.  In  January  2018,  we  drew  down  $0.5  billion.  2017  Annual  Report  |  Verizon  Communications  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  69
