This briefing provides an overview of the economic, financial, and monetary implications of US tariffs for the EU over the past year, as of the cut-off date of 25 February 2026. Given the high level of uncertainty, the analysis presented assumes a continued implementation of the EU-US framework agreement. The briefing and the analysis presented were prepared prior to the recent U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, and therefore do not take into account any subsequent market volatility or change in the underlying assumptions. This briefing updates a previous one. The first part of the briefing outlines recent developments, including the EU-US trade deal, the 20 February 2026 US Supreme Court ruling on the legality of the imposed tariffs by the US President, and the EU’s countermeasure toolkit. The second part analyses the impact on the EU economy across sectors and Member States, financial markets and monetary policy challenges. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP

Portugal is set to receive €21.9 billion in grants and loans from the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the EU response to the crisis triggered by the COVID 19 pandemic. This amount corresponds to 2.9 % of the entire RRF, or 10.2 % of Portugal's 2019 gross domestic product (GDP), and includes RRF grants (€15.5 billion), RRF loans (€5.6 billion), REPowerEU grants (€0.7 billion) and Portugal's share (€0.1 billion) from the Brexit Adjustment Reserve. This is the result of the latest revision of Portugal's national recovery and resilience plan (NRRP), approved in December 2025, which reduced the loan allocation by €0.3 billion. The plan has a strong focus on the country's social, economic and environmental resilience, with measures targeting culture, housing, health, broad social responses, and forest and water management. According to European Commission estimates, Portugal's plan is set to produce direct effects on value added of around €17 billion. Other Member States' NRRPs are expected to add another €2 billion in indirect spillover effects. Measures relating to climate transition, including those on industry decarbonisation and energy efficiency of buildings, account for 37.3 % of the allocation. The contribution to digital objectives represents 22.8 % of the allocation (excluding the REPowerEU chapter), with measures and reforms aimed at public administration and finances, education and businesses. Portugal has so far received €14.9 billion of RRF resources (68.1 % of the plan) in the form of pre-financing and eight grant and loan payments. The total disbursements sit below the EU average of 68.6 %. The European Parliament has been a major supporter of creating a common EU recovery instrument, and takes part in interinstitutional settings to cooperate, discuss and scrutinise implementation of the Commission's work. This briefing is one in a series covering all EU Member States. Fifth edition. The first two editions were written by Henrique Morgado Simões. The 'NGEU delivery' briefings are updated at key stages throughout the lifecycle of the plans. The author would like to thank Ana Luisa Melo Almeida, policy analyst in the Next Generation EU Monitoring Service, for her research assistance. Source : © European Union, 2026 - EP
