National Reconstruction Plan. Poland to receive large transfer from KPO in August 2025
Poland anticipates receiving more than PLN 26 billion from the National Reconstruction Plan in August, as stated by Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz on Monday. To date, 44.5 percent of the total KPO allocation for Poland has been contracted.
– We have completed the second revision of the KPO and expect to disburse over PLN 26 billion in August. Additionally, we will initiate a third revision next month, which will be minor and technical, and this will not be the last revision for this year – Pełczyńska-Nałęcz remarked.
The necessity to alter hundreds of indicators
She further mentioned that due to the extension of the KPO settlement until the end of 2026 and the requirement to renegotiate the indicators, a fourth revision of the KPO will commence in the autumn of this year. Consequently, Poland plans to submit two additional payment requests from the KPO to Brussels by the end of this year, with the final application scheduled for next year.
– We have obtained the EC’s approval after lengthy negotiations to extend the settlement of KPO projects. This indicates we will need to effectively renegotiate hundreds of indicators, as the KPO must now be modified to ensure that the indicators can be met by mid-2026, while investments can continue and be settled in the subsequent months until the end of 2026 – she clarified. – I am hopeful that this will preserve hundreds, if not thousands, of investments, although it also signifies an extremely demanding period of work for us – she added.
Positive news on Friday the 13th
On Friday, the Minister of Finance and Public Relations announced on platform X that the EC has consented to prolong the settlement of KPO investments until the end of 2026. Originally, this was set for the end of August 2026.
The KPO encompasses 57 investments and 54 reforms, with a budget for Poland exceeding PLN 254 billion (EUR 59.8 billion), which includes PLN 107.3 billion (EUR 25.27 billion) in grants and PLN 146.8 billion (EUR 34.54 billion) offered as preferential loans.
Out of this total, PLN 67 billion has been disbursed to Poland from three payment requests thus far.
According to a press release, the Ministry of Funds indicated that over 774.6 thousand agreements have been signed with beneficiaries under the KPO, totaling more than PLN 117 billion, which represents 44.5 percent of the entire KPO allocation for Poland. It also stated that the total budget for the KPO in Poland is PLN 255 billion.
The grant portion of the agreements amounts to nearly PLN 66.5 billion (almost 60 percent of the allocation), while the loan segment is close to PLN 50.7 billion (33.5 percent of the allocation).
MFiPR highlighted that since the beginning of 2024, the largest payments from the grant section have been received by programs such as Clean Air (PLN 6.6 billion), investments aimed at diversifying and shortening the supply chain of agricultural and food products (over PLN 1.8 billion), as well as passenger rolling stock (almost PLN 1.4 billion), railway lines (nearly PLN 1.2 billion), and investments in transport safety (over PLN 724 million).
