The European Commission on Monday disbursed €2.1 billion to Greece from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), following the positive assessment of the country’s sixth payment request for grants, submitted in mid-July.

With the latest tranche, Greece has now received €23.4 billion from the RRF, representing 65.2% of the total budget of its national plan, “Greece 2.0.”

The payment request concerned the completion of 39 milestones and targets. This brings the total number of fulfilled milestones to 178, or 48% of the plan’s total—above the EU-27 average of 43%.

The completed milestones span key sectors of the economy and public services, including, in education, the installation of 36,200 interactive learning systems in public schools. In healthcare, progress was made on the Electronic Health Record, the Personal Doctor scheme, and the distribution of social benefits to 1.3 million beneficiaries via prepaid cards.

In the energy sector, around 12,000 subsidized photovoltaic systems were installed by households and farmers, while 175MW of storage projects and several institutional reforms were advanced.

Road-safety milestones included contracts for interventions at 7,780 hazardous spots in municipal and regional road networks and the installation of smart LED lighting systems.

Public administration reforms also progressed, with over 90% of the national cadastre completed, alongside tax reforms such as connecting 400,000 cash registers and POS devices to the MyData platform.

State Minister Akis Skertsos said, “In just three years, Greece has succeeded in absorbing €23.4 billion—equivalent to an entire NSRF program normally absorbed over nine years—implementing critical and beneficial reforms and investments with efficiency, transparency, and speed. We are working intensively to complete all our commitments by August 2026.”
