The EU Commission today conducted the fifth instalment of the Greek recovery plan, amounting to €3.13 billion (excluding pre-financing), of which €1.35 billion in the form of grants and €1.78 billion in the form of loans. As for all Member States, payments under the Recovery and Resilience Facility are conditional on the effective implementation of the investments and reforms included in its recovery plan.
On 20 December 2025, Greece submitted its fifth RRF payment request of €3.13 billion to the Commission covering 28 milestones and 4 targets. These include improving the judicial system, developing affordable and more energy-efficient housing, strengthening the capacity of the electricity grid, and supporting reforestation and firefighting.
On 19 March 2025, the Commission adopted a positive preliminary assessment of Greece’s payment claim. The favourable opinion of the Council’s Economic and Financial Committee on the payment request paved the way for the adoption by the Commission of a final decision on the disbursement of funds.
Greece’s comprehensive recovery and resilience plan will be financed with €18.2 billion in grants and €17.7 billion in loans.
