encours cumulé

English translation: cumulative outstanding

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:encours cumulé
English translation:cumulative outstanding

Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Company finances
French term or phrase: encours cumulé
"Le groupe a également accès depuis janvier 2005 aux marchés de l’US Commercial Paper et Euro Commercial Paper à travers un programme dit « global » dans la limite d’un encours cumulé maximal de 1 000 millions de dollars américains inutilisé en fin d’exercice 2006, et d’un programme de Billets de Trésorerie d’un montant de 1 250 millions d’euros, utilisé à hauteur de 410 millions d’euros au 31 décembre 2006."

Am a bit confused - is this a debt the company owes or an "overdraft" facility they can draw on or an amount owing to them and that they can "use up"? Is there a formal term for encours cumulé in this sense? Thanks for your patience - I'm not very au fait with financial mechanics of this sort but am trying to learn...

cumulative outstanding
Explanation:
Commercial paper is a short term instrument issued by companies.

Typically they will have a CP programmes. In discussion with the banks, rating agencies etc. that programme will have a predetermined global amount. The company will then issue as required up to that amount. Until they issue, it is not outstanding.

yes, of course, cumulative oustanding [principal] *amount* or cumulative outstanding [principal] *balance* is even better.
