In late February, the European Commission (EC), the EU’s executive arm, issued a preliminary positive assessment of Poland’s application for the first payment of EUR 6.3 bn in the EU’s post-Covid-19 funds, which is 10.5% of the whole amount provided for in the National Recovery Plan (KPO).
The country is set to receive EUR 25.3 bn in grants and EUR 34.5 bn in loans from EU coffers under its KPO, which details how the money will be spent.
In line with the EU’s goals, a significant portion of the KPO budget is to be allocated to climate goals (46.6%), digital transformation (21.3%), and social reforms (22.3%).
