This study examines the growing financialisation of housing in the EU, focusing on the role of institutional investors and corporate landlords in rental housing markets. It identifies two forms of speculation: valuation-driven business models centred on asset appreciation and landlord practices that undermine tenants’ rights and housing security. While the Commission’s European Affordable Housing Plan recognises these challenges, the study argues that more action and EU-level coordination are needed to address housing financialisation and support alternative, non-financialised housing models that ensure affordability.

Spain's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) is the second largest (in absolute figures) financed by the Next Generation EU (NGEU) recovery instrument and its main spending tool, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Following the Spanish NRRP's October 2023 amendment, the original plan of 2021 (€69.5 billion in grants only) has undergone eighth revisions, and now amounts to €102.6 billion (or 8.2 % of national gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019). This total comprises a grant allocation of €79.8 billion (upwardly revised by roughly 15 % in June 2022); a loan allocation of €22.7 billion; the country's REPowerEU grant allocation of €2.6 billion; and a transfer of Spain's share from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve of €58 million to its NRRP. The last two revisions of the plan – approved by the Council in January and June 2026 – reflect efforts to simplify the NRRP, including a significant cut to the loan envelope of almost 73 %, falling from the €83.2 billion requested in October 2023 under the second revision. So far, €71.4 billion (or 69.6 % of the amended NRRP) have been received, which sits below the EU average of 74.3 %. The European Commission has disbursed these resources in the form of pre-financing and five grant and two loan instalments. The fifth payment request (grants and loans) is under assessment by the Commission. The amended plan focuses on the green transition, devoting 37 % of the resources to it, and fosters the digital transformation by committing 22.7 % of the funds (excluding REPowerEU) to digital projects. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on its implementation and scrutinises the European Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Seventh edition. The first edition was written by Miroslava Kostova Karaboytcheva. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

It took the EU 10 years after the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty to adopt its first comprehensive security framework, the 2003 European Security Strategy, and further 13 years to update it through the 2016 EU Global Strategy. Since then, the security landscape has changed profoundly, marked by Russia's war against Ukraine, intensifying geopolitical competition, hybrid threats, cyber-attacks, economic coercion and growing pressures on Europe's resilience and defence industrial base. Against this backdrop, the EU is preparing a new security strategy, foreseen for Q3 2026. The strategy is expected to provide a long-term vision integrating defence, security, resilience, technological sovereignty, economic and supply-chain security and partnerships into a coherent framework to guide EU action in an increasingly contested world.
