Summary

The ECB Occasional Paper Series No 362 analyzes the impact of NextGenerationEU (NGEU) on the euro area economy, focusing on the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). Four years into NGEU's implementation, the study provides quantitative assessments of its effects, accounting for implementation uncertainties. The main findings are:

Key Findings

GDP Impact

By 2026, RRF-linked public expenditure could increase euro area GDP by 0.4-0.9%, rising to 0.8-1.2% by 2031, due to fiscal and structural reform effects.
Italy and Spain see higher impacts (1.3-1.9% in 2026) due to their high RRF allocation relative to GDP.
Effects are primarily from fiscal channel (public expenditure) and diminish over time as reforms take effect; additive public investment boosts capital stock.

Inflation Impact

NGEU has limited impact on inflation, estimated at ~0.1 pp at peak.
Inflation dynamics are model-dependent; EAGLE models emphasize quick offset by productivity gains, while ECB-MC captures demand pressures.

Public Debt Impact

RRF has a favorable impact on public debt ratios (e.g., 7-8 pp reduction for Italy/Spain by 2031).
Combines budgetary revenue (from grants) with loan costs, confidence effects, and stimulative output growth.

Structural Reforms

NGEU promotes reforms, notably in green/digital areas and public governance.
Progress is made, but delays risk incomplete implementation.
Institutional quality modestly improved, particularly in Italy, enhancing long-term economic potential.

Implementation Challenges

Delays due to administrative capacity and supply-side bottlenecks.
Only ~46% of RRF funds disbursed by Aug 2024; absorption lags reduced the output impact by half compared with initial estimates.

Recommendations

Euro area countries must improve implementation by prioritizing quality, using administrative support, and facilitating reforms.
Rising risks from rushed execution could hinder transformative potential unless addressed through policy coordination and quality focus.
