Sweden's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) is financed under the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The NRRP's total volume is €3 445.7 million, financed entirely through EU grants. This amount reflects the downward revision of the national RRF envelope in June 2022, and includes €198 million in additional grants under the REPowerEU chapter, as well as a €66 million transfer from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve. The plan represents 0.4 % of the RRF and 0.7 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019 (the RRF represented 5.2 % of EU 27 GDP in 2019). Sweden is set to receive payments in five instalments. To date, the European Commission has disbursed €1 646 million, covering the first two instalments and corresponding to 47.8 % of its total grant allocation, which is below the EU average of 56.5 %. In June 2025, Sweden submitted a revised plan, to ensure full implementation before the RRF ends in August 2026. The revision is currently under Commission assessment and pending Council approval. The plan contributes 43.6 % of resources to climate-related objectives, surpassing the minimum target of 37 % set in the RRF Regulation. At 21.2 %, its allocation for digital expenditure also exceeds the threshold, which was set at 20 % of resources (excluding the REPowerEU chapter). The European Parliament has been a major supporter of establishing a common EU recovery instrument, and takes part in interinstitutional settings to cooperate, discuss and scrutinise implementation of the European Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fourth edition. The previous edition was written by Eckhard Binder. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP Read more
