Bunge’s commercial paper program is supported by an identical amount of committed back-up bank credit lines (the “Liquidity Facility”) provided by banks that are rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service. The cost of borrowing under the Liquidity Facility would typically be higher than the cost of issuing under Bunge’s commercial paper program. At March 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility.
In addition to committed facilities, from time to time, Bunge Limited and/or its financing subsidiaries enter into uncommitted bilateral short-term credit lines as necessary based on its financing requirements. At March 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under these bilateral short-term credit lines. Loans under such credit lines are non-callable by the respective lenders. In addition, Bunge's operating companies had $736 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at March 31, 2020 to support working capital requirements.
At March 31, 2020, Bunge had $4,315 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $4,315 million with a number of lending institutions.
The fair value of Bunge’s long-term debt is based on interest rates currently available on comparable maturities to companies with credit standing similar to that of Bunge. The carrying amounts and fair value of long-term debt are as follows:
