The European Commission has provisionally approved a further CZK 25 billion for Czechia to implement reforms and strategic investments under its National Recovery Plan.
The funding represents the country’s sixth payment from the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. It must still receive final confirmation from the Economic and Financial Committee of the Council of the EU, the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
Czechia is eligible to receive a total of €8.75 billion, equivalent to approximately CZK 212.3 billion, under the plan. The European Commission has already disbursed 77% of that amount through previous payments.
The EU funding is primarily intended to support digital transformation, healthcare, research, education, energy efficiency, infrastructure development, sustainable transport and the regeneration of brownfield sites.
According to the ministry, Czechia has so far completed 90% of the milestones and targets set out in its recovery plan. The Commission provisionally approved the latest payment after the country met 52 additional requirements.
“I am very pleased that the European Commission has confirmed that Czechia is fulfilling its commitments under the National Recovery Plan. Meeting the milestones and targets is a priority for the Czech Republic,” Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlíček said.
The government will now focus on completing the remaining reforms and investments to make full use of the available funding. It plans to submit its final payment request in the autumn.
The Recovery and Resilience Facility was established by the European Union to help member states address the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic while accelerating the green and digital transformation of their economies.
The facility is a temporary instrument financed through joint EU borrowing, which will be repaid from the bloc’s common budget in the coming years.
