Under the EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the core of the Next Generation EU (NGEU) instrument, Malta is set to receive a total contribution of €328.2 million, corresponding to 2.3 % of its 2019 gross domestic product (GDP) – less than the average for the EU overall (the RRF equals 5.2 % of EU-27 GDP in 2019). However, while in nominal terms Malta has the second smallest allocation, it ranks higher in terms of RRF grants per capita. The total financial contribution reflects several revisions of Malta's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP). The July 2023 amendment, which added a new REPowerEU chapter, included an additional grant allocation of €30 million and the transfer of part of Malta's allocation under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve to its plan (€40 million). In the latest amendment of 12 December 2025, the resources devoted to the energy-focused REPowerEU chapter were adjusted from €69.9 million to €74.5 million following the addition of an investment relating to the renovation and greening of private sector buildings. This adjustment reflects a reallocation of resources within the plan and does not increase its overall financial envelope. To date, Malta has received pre-financing (including REPowerEU) and three regular payments. The total disbursements stand at €215 million, or 65.5 % of its allocation (the EU average is 68.4 %). So far, 58.9 % of all milestones and targets have been fulfilled, compared with the EU average of 51 %. The Maltese NRRP takes account of the Council's 2019 and 2020 country-specific recommendations, and aligns with both national economic and investment plans and funding under EU cohesion policy programmes for the 2021-2027 period. The plan's overall objective is to contribute to sustainable, equitable, green and digital recovery, embracing major common EU challenges. The amended plan has a stronger focus on the green transition, devoting 62 % of the funds to it (up from 53.8 % in the original plan, yet down seven percentage points from the latest revision), making Malta's NRRP one of the greenest; 26.9 % of the amended plan, or 34.8 % (excluding the REPowerEU chapter), will contribute to the digital target. The European Parliament participates in interinstitutional forums for cooperation and discussion on the implementation of the RRF and scrutinises the European Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Seventh edition. Earlier versions were written by Velina Lilyanova. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
