| DEBT | DEBTBunge’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 June 30, 2020, there were $498 million of borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings under the Liquidity Facility, and at December 31, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program and no borrowings outstanding under the Liquidity Facility. At June 30, 2020, Bunge had $3,617 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities totaling $4,315 million with a number of lending institutions. At December 31, 2019, Bunge had $4,315 million of unused and available borrowing capacity under its committed long-term credit facilities with a number of lending institutions. 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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were $451 million and no borrowings, respectively, 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 $586 million and $771 million in short-term borrowings outstanding under local bank lines of credit at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to support working capital requirements. 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.
