The European Commission has transferred another tranche from the EU recovery fund NextGenerationEU to the Czech Republic. Brussels is providing around €1.6 billion to support reforms in the energy sector and investments in healthcare.
The European Commission has transferred another tranche from the European recovery fund NextGenerationEU to the Czech Republic. A total of €1.57 billion in grants and €41 million in loans will flow to Prague. This was announced by the EU Commission in a press release on Friday. This is the fourth payment under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of the European recovery programme.
The Czech Republic submitted the corresponding application to the Commission on 16 June 2025. It comprised 58 milestones and targets relating to 23 reform projects and 26 investments. These include measures to modernise renewable energy facilities, store and manage electricity more efficiently, and connect to the grid. Accompanying legislative changes are intended to simplify approval procedures. In addition, 21 projects in the healthcare sector are to be financed, including the construction of new facilities, the renovation of existing buildings, and the purchase of modern equipment to improve rehabilitation care.
Following a positive preliminary assessment on 30 July 2025 and the approval of the Council’s Economic Committee, the Commission has now given the green light for the payment.
The Czech Republic’s recovery and resilience programme has a total volume of €8.4 billion in grants and €448 million in loans. With the current transfer, around 67 per cent of the funds have already been disbursed, and more than half of the planned reforms and investments have been implemented.
As with all Member States, payments to the Czech Republic are linked to the fulfilment of agreed reform and investment targets. The Commission provides an interactive overview of funded projects online.
