What role does the Recovery and Resilience Facility play?
The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) was established in February 2021 to mitigate the economic and social impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. It serves as the cornerstone of NextGenerationEU, an extraordinary EU recovery instrument designed to address the immediate economic and social fallout of the pandemic. Through the RRF, the EU is set to provide up to €650 billion in grants and loans to Member States.
The RRF aims to alleviate the pandemic’s economic and social effects, strengthen Member States’ resilience, enhance sustainability, and better prepare for the challenges and opportunities of the green and digital transitions. It also contributes to achieving the EU’s goal of climate neutrality by 2050, advancing Europe’s digital transformation, creating jobs, and driving growth.
