According to the deputy head of the Ministry of Finance, Poland's application for payment from the KPO has just received a positive opinion from the EU deputy ministers of finance (EFC Committee). “The last procedures and around December 13, the amount will reach PLN 40 billion,” he wrote on X.

November 12 this year the head of MFiPR, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, announced that European Commission has provisionally accepted the second and third payment applications.

The Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy noted in a statement that it is preparing for the largest transfer of EU funds that has ever been transferred to Poland at once – the third application for payment from the KPO for Poland, which will include the third and fourth tranches of money, is to be finally accepted by the end of November ( In total, the Polish plan provides for nine tranches). In total, this will amount to EUR 9.4 billion (PLN 40 billion). EUR 5.3 billion will constitute loans, and EUR 4.1 billion will go to Poland in a non-repayable form.

At the end of last week, Deputy Minister of Funds and Regional Policy Jan Szyszko said that in the next step, Poland will submit another payment application to the European Commission. This is expected to take place in December.

Any member country can apply for money only twice a yearPoland therefore has one more option until the end of the year. However, countries may combine the tranches of money provided for in the KPO in their applications, which Warsaw benefits from. Poland sent the first application, in which the first two tranches of money were accumulated, at the end of 2023, the second one – in September this year.

The next application will include the fourth and fifth tranches of money. Szyszko, however, stipulated that the final amount depends on the summary of reforms and investments carried out.

Poland submitted the first application for payment from the KPO for EUR 6.3 billion (approx. PLN 27 billion) in mid-December 2023, 1.5 years after the European Commission accepted the Polish Plan. In February this year The Commission gave a preliminary positive assessment of the first application. The money arrived in Poland in mid-April this year.

Poland will receive EUR 59.8 billion (PLN 257.1 billion) from the KPO, including EUR 25.27 billion (PLN 108.6 billion) in the form of subsidies and EUR 34.54 billion (PLN 148.5 billion) in the form of preferential loans.
