Debt [Abstract]  
Debt Debt
Credit Facilities
We maintain a $2.5 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility, that matures on February 14, 2025. We have uncommitted credit lines aggregating $1.0 billion and the ability to issue up to $2 billion of commercial paper. These facilities provide additional liquidity sources for operating capital and general corporate purposes. Our $400 million 364-day revolving credit facility, or 364 Day Credit Facility, that we entered into to mitigate any potential impact on our liquidity from the COVID-19 pandemic expired on April 2, 2021 without being drawn. At March 31, 2021, there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Facility, the 364 Day Credit Facility or the uncommitted credit lines.
The Credit Facility contains and,prior to its expiration, the 364 Day Credit Facility contained, a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash charges) of no more than 3.5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. We amended the Credit Facility and the 364 Day Credit Facility in October 2020 to increase the maximum Leverage Ratio to 4.0 times through December 31, 2021 for the Credit Agreement and to 4.0 times through the maturity of the 364 Day Credit Facility. At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with these covenants as our Leverage Ratio was 2.8 times. The Credit Facility does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.
Short-Term Debt
Short-term debt at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $5.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, represented bank overdrafts and short-term borrowings primarily of our international subsidiaries. Due to the short-term nature of this debt, carrying value approximates fair value.

The 2.45% Senior Notes and the 4.20% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Omnicom that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.
Omnicom and its wholly owned finance subsidiary, Omnicom Capital Inc., or OCI, are co-obligors under the senior notes due 2022, 2024 and 2026. These notes are a joint and several liability of Omnicom and OCI, and Omnicom unconditionally guarantees OCI’s obligations with respect to the notes. OCI provides funding for our operations by incurring debt and lending the proceeds to our operating subsidiaries. OCI’s assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans made to our operating subsidiaries, and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of OCI or Omnicom to obtain funds from our subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. Such notes are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness.
Omnicom and OCI have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of Omnicom Finance Holdings plc, or OFHP, a U.K.-based wholly owned subsidiary of Omnicom, with respect to the Euro denominated notes due 2027 and 2031.

The finance companies’ assets consist of cash and cash equivalents and intercompany loans that they make or have made to the operating companies in their respective regions and the related interest receivable. There are no restrictions on the ability of Omnicom, OCI or OFHP to obtain funds from their subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances. The Euro denominated notes and the related guarantees are senior unsecured obligations that rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of OFHP and each of Omnicom and OCI, respectively.
