(AGENPARL) – BRUXELLES mer 26 aprile 2023 Before the pandemic, the Greek economy was just getting back onto a positive path, following reforms implemented under the macroeconomic adjustment programmes. Greece was among the first four countries to submit its national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) in April 2021. The plan envisages investment and reforms totalling €30.5 billion, to be implemented up to 2026; €17.8 billion will be financed from non-repayable financial support (grants), and €12.7 billion – the maximum possible allocation – from loans. The plan corresponds to 4.2 % of the €723.8 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and represents 16.7 % of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF being 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). The grants alone represent 9.7 % of the country’s GDP; overall, Greece’s is the sixth biggest national plan. In June 2022, Greece’s grant allocation was revised slightly downwards to €17.4 billion (-1.9 %). Greece may receive an additional €769 million in grants subject to the approval of a new REPowerEU chapter on energy. The Greek plan was approved by the Council on 13 July 2021, which has so far allowed €11.1 billion to be disbursed in the form of pre-financing (€4 billion) and two payments each for grants and loans. Another seven disbursements for grants and a further four disbursements for loans are envisaged up to 2026, on fulfilment of the agreed milestones and targets. So far, Greece has achieved 43 out of a total of 331 milestones and targets. The European Parliament, which supported an EU recovery instrument from the start of the pandemic, is involved through a regular, structured dialogue with the Commission and the Council, and is competent to scrutinise its implementation. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Second edition. The ‘NGEU delivery’ briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.
