Poland to receive PLN 26 bln in EU funds under national recovery plan in September
The third tranche of EU funds under the national recovery plan KPO will be larger than initially estimated, amounting to PLN 26 billion (EUR 6.1 bln); Poland will receive the payment in September, the minister of development funds and regional policy Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz announced on X. Earlier, the minister spoke of PLN 8-12 billion (EUR 1.9-2.8 bln) in summer.
"The third KPO disbursement will be larger than we initially estimated. Poland will receive PLN 26 billion in September," Pelczynska-Nalecz wrote on X.
On 28 May, the head of Poland's Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy (MFiPR) reported that Poland expects the next tranche of EU funds under the national recovery plan KPO to be disbursed in the summer, after the KPO revision is formally completed, and that it would amount to around PLN 8-12 billion (EUR 1.9-2.8 bln), with the exact amount to be known in about a month.
Poland's national recovery plan KPO consists of 57 investments and 54 reforms, with a budget for Poland of EUR 59.8 billion, including EUR 25.27 billion in grants and EUR 34.54 billion in preferential loans.
Of this amount, PLN 67 billion (EUR 15.8 bln) has already been transferred to Poland so far; later this year, MFiPR plans to submit the sixth and seventh payment applications to the European Commission.
