flag Europe’s €955B recovery fund, launched in 2020, faces delays and unspent funds due to bureaucracy, with key projects stalled and growth lagging.

flag Europe’s €955 billion Next Generation EU recovery fund, launched in 2020, has delivered mixed results, with progress in digital and green projects hindered by bureaucracy, delayed spending, and unmet reform conditions. flag Over €180 billion remains unspent, particularly in Italy and Spain, where complex applications, repeated plan revisions, and political shifts slowed disbursement. flag Some funds were used for low-impact initiatives, while key projects face sustainability challenges post-funding. flag Extended deadlines beyond 2026 aim to improve efficiency, but full economic transformation remains unrealized amid lagging growth compared to the U.S. and China.
