Abstract: In this paper we study the PBW filtration on irreducible integrable highest weight representations of affine Kac-Moody algebras $ \widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$. The $ n$-th space of this filtration is spanned by the vectors $ x_1\dots x_s v$, where $ x_i\in\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$, $ s\le n$, and $ v$ is a highest weight vector. For the vacuum module we give a conjectural description of the corresponding adjoint graded space in terms of generators and relations. For $ \mathfrak{g}$ of the type $ A_1$ we prove our conjecture and derive the fermionic formula for the graded character.
