The European Commission has disbursed €24.9 billion to Italy in pre-financing, equivalent to 13% of the country's grant and loan allocation under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Italy is one of the first countries receiving a pre-financing payment under the RRF. The pre-financing will help to kick-start the implementation of the crucial investment and reform measures outlined in Italy's recovery and resilience plan. The Commission will authorize further disbursements based on the implementation of the investments and reforms outlined in Italy's recovery and resilience plan. The country is set to receive €191.5bn in total over the lifetime of its plan (€68.9bn in grants and €122.6bn in loans).

The disbursement follows the recent successful implementation of the first borrowing operations under NextGenerationEU. By the end of the year, the Commission intends to raise up to a total of €80bn in long-term funding, to be complemented by short-term EU-Bills, to fund the first planned disbursements to member states under NextGenerationEU. NextGenerationEU will provide more than €800bn (in current prices) to support investments and reforms across member states. €723.bn (in current prices) will go to the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The Italian plan is part of the unprecedented EU response to emerge stronger from the COVID-19 crisis, fostering the green and digital transitions and strengthening resilience and cohesion in our societies.
