The NextGenerationEU fund marks a transformative change for the EU post-COVID recovery. 750 EUR billion will be deployed to boost growth, investment and reforms in Europe, with the green and digital ‘twin transition’ as the priority. This can be considered as a once in a generation opportunity that can fundamentally transform the European economy. The key area to discuss is how to maximize this opportunity and allocate these funds effectively, in particular the following:
- What capabilities we need to fully use this opportunity
- How we ensure that we direct funds to areas with the highest growth potential
- How we assess impact and progress on the recovery path
