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.

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

NOTE: The EU Budget for Hungary of EUR 21.7 billion presented in this dataset reflects the allocations to Hungary in decisions adopted on 22 December 2022. As of 1 January 2025, the total EU budget effectively allocated to Hungary is EUR 20.7 billion. Once the detailed mid term decisions are adopted during 2025 the dataset will reflect the corrected amounts. Find out more in the FAQ - question 2.10 - https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/jxcd-m4vy. 2021-2027 financial details broken down by Fund / MS / programme / Policy objective / specific objective / Categorisation dimension. This dataset provides information on planned total and EU financing for 11 different EU Funds (2021-2027) in current prices. The data is taken from multiple categorisation tables in adopted programmes and is broken down by fund, programme, priority, policy objective objective, specific objective, category of region (more developed, less developed, etc. where available) and by the dimensions in the categorisation system. The values from the differnent dimensions should not be aggregated as this would lead to doublecounting. Find out more about the cohesion policy categorisation system here: https://cohesiondata.ec.europa.eu/stories/s/2021-2027-categorisation-information-system/hhu3-atyz. It is updated daily to reflect any modifications (i.e. thematic reallocations) agreed between the Member States and the Commission. The data covers the more than 480 programmes and includes the EU and national co-financing covered by the adoption decision. Financial allocations in the adopted programmes may change over time (i.e. transfers between themes, between funds). For ERDF, ESF and CF the "priority" columns relate financing envelopes in the programmes; the policy objectives and specific objectives relate to the fixed lists of defined objectives set in the specific fund Regulations. If downloading, check the format of financial amounts and where necessary change your regional settings and default formatting in your chosen software. You can check the results of your aggregation of the financial data by comparing results either the charts on the public platform.

The 2014-2020 ERDF and Cohesion Fund programmes saw reinforced use of common indicators to measure investment outputs. How does the system work?

The EU-SPI was developed as a measure to contribute to the "Beyond GDP" agenda and as a tool to facilitate benchmarking across EU regions.

The objective of ESIF Open Data was to make the allocation and use of the investment financing more transparent. This story explains the way we use charts as investment information maps.

The RCI has always shown a remarkable gap between capital/metropolitan regions and the rest of the country. The question is: are these gaps between the capital and the rest of the country increasing or can we find an indication of catching-up?

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, Youth Employment Initiative) for the 2014-2020 period and summarizes the financial allocations after the implementation of the Operational Programs.

Cohesion policy is the EU's policy to support the reduction of social economic and territorial disparities - the "catching up funds". Interactive sankey visualisation allow stakeholders to explore and compare the detailed investment themes across the funds, countries, thematic objectives and detail thematic "intervention fields".

Cohesion policy is the EU’s main investment policy, providing funding equivalent to 8.5% of government capital investment in the EU, a figure which rises to 41% for the EU 13 and to over 50% for a number of countries. This figure compares the allocations of Cohesion Policy per Member State (available on this open data platform) to public investment (Gross fixed capital formation by general government). This is usually referred as total public investment.

This dataset includes the figures by Fund (European Regional Development Fund, European Social Fund, Cohesion Fund, Youth Employment Initiative) for the 2014-2020 period and summarizes the financial allocations after the adoption of the Partnership Agreements.

This data story complements the 2023 Staff Working Document (SWD) on the outcome of programming. It presents key messages from the SWD supported by open data, interactive charts and dedicated open data tracking tools linked to the adopted 2021-2027 programmes.

Although a safe place in global terms, the EU still faces multiple environmental and other risks. This data story guides you through the cohesion policy support provided to risk prevention in its multiple forms.

The tracking of biodiversity relevant investments is possible using the cohesion policy monitoring system.

Digital technologies are transforming the world at an unprecedented speed. The Digital Single Market initiative aims to open up digital opportunities for people and business and enhance Europe's position as a world leader in the digital economy.

The Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) has been measuring the major factors of competitiveness over the past ten years for all the NUTS-2 level regions across the European Union. The Index measures with more than 70 comparable indicators the ability of a region to offer an attractive and sustainable environment for firms and residents to live and work.

This dataset presents information on EU payments to the Regional Policy 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.
