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.
