SMEs are key for making the economy work for people. The ESI Funds are the largest source of EU budget financing for SMEs.

Under the CRIII+ proposals, at the request of a country, the resources available for programming for the year 2020, could be transferred between the ERDF, the ESF and the Cohesion Fund.
The dataset below show the increase and decreases in EU funding by country, programme fund and category of region since the adoption of the CRII package. As no new EU funds were available the sum of changes overall is normally "zero" (increases = decreases).

Cohesion policy comprises EUR 355 billion of EU budget delivered in 3 funds - ERDF, Cohesion Fund and ESF/YEI. They support investment is a wider range of themes. To understand, monitor and communicate on the policy we use a multi dimensional information system.

The EU is building an energy union that ensures Europe's energy supply is safe, viable and accessible to all. In doing so, it can boost the economy and attract investments that contribute to regional development, growth and jobs.

This dataset presents information on EU payments to the ESI Funds programmes as well as to FEAD, IPA-E and ENI supported programmes.
Annual snapshots are provided in the data and therefore the data **must** be filtered by year to have an accurate view of the total EU planned amount and payments made.
Data is reported on cumulative basis, i.e. the amounts shown in 2017 represent the cumulative payments made from the beginning of the programming period (2014-2017 up to date).
The dataset is updated on a daily basis.

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund,Youth Employment Initiative).
