Commission disburses €6.2 billion to support Poland's economic growth and competitiveness, under NextGenerationEU
The European Commission has disbursed €6.2 billion in grants and loans to Poland, marking the third payment under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU.
On 27 December 2024, Poland submitted to the Commission its third payment request under the RRF. This request covered 30 milestones and 14 targets corresponding to important steps in the delivery of 19 investments and 17 reforms within Poland's national recovery and resilience plans, driving positive change for Polish citizens and businesses. The areas benefitting from these reforms and investments include improvements in energy efficiency for households, land-use planning, renewable energy on-and offshore, 5G networks, cybersecurity, transport safety, vocational training, circular economy, childcare standards and long-term care.
The Commission issued a positive preliminary assessment of Poland's third payment request on 29 October 2025. With the favourable opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee of the Council, the Commission was able to proceed with the final decision to disburse the funds.
Poland's overall recovery and resilience plan is currently financed by €59.8 billion (€25.3 billion in grants and €34.5 billion in loans). As with all Member States, payments to Poland under the RRF are performance-based, contingent upon the successful implementation of its recovery and resilience plan. With this third payment, Poland reaches 45% of its funds earmarked under the current version of Poland's RRP.
