Next Generation Funds
The Next Generation EU Funds (NGEU) are a temporary recovery tool set by the European Comission to boost the economic recovery and transformation, accelerating the adaptation to decarbonization and digitalization.
This program combines structural reforms with public and private investment to help overcome the economic and health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The NGEU is going to mobilize up to €750 billion during the period 2021-2026 and will fund the Member States through loan facilities and grants (€360 billion and €390 billion respectively).
Spain’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan is structured in 10 policies with an impact on activity and employment, responsible for boosting the economic recovery in the short term and supporting the transformation of the Spanish economy. The EU Recovery Fund has granted Spain €140 billion through direct or non-repayable grants and repayable loans.
