The Next Generation EU (NGEU) programme was approved by the European Council in July 2020 to stimulate recovery in Europe from the economic and social consequences of COVID-19. It consists of a package of funds with an envelope of €750 billion to be distributed among the Member States conditional upon the submission of and compliance with so-called National Recovery and Resilience Plans.
Spain began receiving NGEU funds in 2021.
