The KPO has gained momentum. Over 100 billion by the end of the year and another 100 billion next year

Poland has already received PLN 93 billion from five KPO payment applications – informed the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy. It was added that in 2026, Poland will receive over PLN 100 billion from the KPO, and in December Poland will submit two more applications for payment of a total of over PLN 30 billion.

“Today, Poland received PLN 26 billion from the European Commission from the fourth and fifth applications for payment from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO). This means that our country has already received PLN 93 billion from the KPO as part of five KPO payment applications,” the ministry wrote in a press release.

He added that next year, more money from the KPO will flow to Poland – over PLN 100 billion, and in December Poland will submit two more applications for payment of a total of over PLN 30 billion.

“Money from KPO is a significant investment impulse for our economy, it is estimated that thanks to KPO, GDP in Poland will increase by 1.6 percent.” – said MFiPR.

As he informed, until November 24 under the KPO 905 thousand were concluded contracts for support for projects worth over PLN 164 billion (68.3% of all KPO funds).

“The money from the fourth and fifth payment applications will be used to co-finance investments under the KPO, including those in the field of infrastructure and rolling stock, health care, and energy,” it was written.

Poland has so far submitted five of the nine planned applications for payment from KPO. Our country has already received a total of PLN 67 billion from the previous three applications – PLN 27 billion from the first application and PLN 40 billion from the 2nd and 3rd payment applications.

“In order to submit further payment applications, Poland must complete the last revision of the KPO, which it submitted to the European Commission in September this year. On November 20 this year, the College of Commissioners accepted the changes proposed therein. On December 12 this year, the EU Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN) is to adopt the draft amended implementing decision of the EU Council approving changes to the Polish KPO, which will formally end the process of its revision,” it was indicated.

Conducting and completing the KPO revision will enable the sending of the sixth and seventh KPO payment applications, which is planned for the end of December this year.

The last KPO payment applications – the eighth and ninth – are to be submitted in 2026.

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO) is intended to strengthen the Polish economy. After the revision, it consists of 57 investments and 54 reforms. Poland is to receive approximately PLN 232 billion (EUR 54.71 billion) from the KPO, including PLN 107 billion (EUR 25.27 billion) in the form of subsidies and PLN 124.8 billion (EUR 29.44 billion) in the form of preferential loans.

In line with EU goals, a significant part of the KPO budget is allocated to climate goals (40.26%) and digital transformation (20.92%). (PAP Business)
