Finland's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP) is part of the national sustainable growth programme and its main source of financing. Next Generation EU (NGEU) – the EU's response to the social and economic crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic – initially envisaged an allocation of €2 090 million in grants to Finland under its Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). After the update of all national allocations in June 2022, Finland's share was revised downwards to €1 822 million in grants, and the plan was revised to reflect these changes. A second revision added the REPowerEU chapter, under which Finland is to receive a maximum of €127 million in non-repayable financial support for energy-related reforms and investment. The plan underwent a third revision in mid-2024. Finland requested to amend the plan due to objective changes in circumstances while keeping the same level of ambition. Currently, the plan totals €1 949 million and is worth 0.8 % of the country's gross domestic product (GDP) in 2019, representing 0.3 % of the entire RFF. In terms of absolute numbers and per capita, it is among the lowest quarter of RRF grant allocations by Member States. On 30 April 2025, Finland requested a new targeted revision. Finland has allocated 52.3 % of its NRRP to the green transition, serving its ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, while digital expenditure accounts for 28.9 % of the overall resources. The plan thus exceeds the minimum allocations required by the RRF Regulation, which are 37 % for the green transition and 20 % for digital transformation (the latter does not apply to the REPowerEU chapter). So far, Finland has received two payments based on progress in implementing the plan. Including the pre-financing, the total amount of grants received amounts to €876.9 million, i.e. 45 % of the entire allocation. The European Parliament, which was a major advocate of creating a common EU recovery instrument, 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. Third edition. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans.

The recent cost-of-living crisis has exacerbated a longstanding problem with housing affordability in the EU. Higher building costs and mortgage rates, together with a related decrease in housing construction, have made access to home ownership more difficult. At the same time, investors use housing as a vehicle for investment. Growing numbers of people are struggling to access affordable housing, whether to rent or to buy, particularly in cities. Across Europe, homelessness is rising. In addition, many residential buildings need to be made energy-efficient and decarbonised in order to achieve the EU's energy and climate goals, lower energy consumption and reduce energy bills. While the EU has no direct competence in the area of housing and only a limited scope of action to address social issues, it provides relevant guidance and funding, and has carried out several initiatives to support housing. Furthermore, certain EU rules have a indirect impact on housing provision, starting with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. In parallel, many sources of EU funding are available for various housing-related purposes in the current financing period. In the run-up to the 2024 European elections, the lack of adequate and affordable housing, and the need to address it at EU level, emerged as a concern across the whole of the EU and the entire political spectrum. The new European Commission) is giving housing policy visibility and weight by proposing a coordinated approach. For the first time, housing has become a distinct part of a commissioner's portfolio. Dan Jørgensen, the new Commissioner for Energy and Housing, is responsible for dealing with several complex issues relating to housing. In 2024, the spotlight was on affordable housing, while 2025 is seeing a scaling-up of housing-related policy developments across the EU institutions, including discussions, consultations and funding initiatives. This updates a briefing published in January 2025. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
