The European Commission has disbursed a total of €42.8 billion to five Member States - Italy, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, and Spain - under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), the centrepiece of NextGenerationEU. The disbursements are part of the Commission's efforts to support the economic growth and resilience of EU Member States, and are based on the successful steps in the implementation of reforms and investments outlined in each country's recovery and resilience plan.
