It is recalled that Greece’s overall recovery and resilience plan will be financed with 17.43 billion euros in grants and 12.73 billion euros in loans.
Payments under the RRF are performance-based and contingent on the implementation of the investments and reforms outlined in Greece’s recovery and resilience plan. This second payment request relates to 28 milestones and targets covering various reforms and investments in the areas of sustainable transport, energy, land rehabilitation of lignite-affected areas, digital transformation, public administration and justice, skills, of education and social, economic and fiscal policy, research and innovation, business extroversion and the competitiveness and development of the tourism, agriculture and industry sectors. Three of the milestones and targets relate to the implementation of the loan part of the RRF.
