Commission disburses €7.2 billion to Poland under NextGenerationEU

On 3 June, the European Commission disbursed €7.2 billion to Poland, marking the fourth payment under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF).

The RRF, the cornerstone of NextGenerationEU, is the Commission's flagship post-pandemic programme supporting member states' recovery, economic growth, and competitiveness. 

Measures linked to this payment include improvements in healthcare services, digitising administrative processes, strengthening cybersecurity, expanding broadband infrastructure, reforming labour law, and advancing green initiatives—including hydrogen infrastructure, railway modernisation, and better access to sustainable transport.

The disbursement follows Poland's fourth payment request, submitted on 23 December 2025 and greenlighted by the Commission on 23 April 2026.  

Following the Council's approval to proceed with this disbursement, the Commission adopted a payment decision and released the funds today.

With this payment, Poland has received €34.15 billion or 62.4% of its total €54.71 billion allocation (€25.27 billion in grants and €29.44 billion in loans), with 61% of all milestones and targets under its national recovery and resilience plan now fulfilled.

As with all member states, payments to Poland under the RRF are performance-based, contingent upon the successful implementation of milestones and targets included in its recovery and resilience plan.  

With a view to the closure of the Facility at the end of 2026, Members States must implement all outstanding milestones and targets by August 2026 and submit their last payment requests by the end of September 2026.

An interactive map showcasing examples of reforms and investments supported by the RRF is available online. Further details on the RRF payment claim process are also available online.
