Financial instruments (loans, equity, guarantee funds and others) represent a potentially resource-efficient way of deploying ESI Funds public resources to target economically viable projects. This article discusses the scale and progress in implementing FIs in the funding period 14-20.

The report compares achievements with finances in all ESF CCIs and priority axes at the level of the investment priority, broken down by category of region. Specifically it compares the sum of all successful outcomes indicated by the common result indicators - job-search, being in education or training, gaining a qualification, being in employment upon leaving - with a) the total costs of the selected projects and b) the declared expenditure. The data on common result indicators are taken from Table 2A of the annual implementation reports. The financial data are taken from Table 7 of the AIR.

EU cohesion policy is strongly aligned to the UN SDGs. This data story allows you to explore the investment contribution of cohesion policy to relevant SDGs.

The file contains the Thematic Objective allocations for the programming period 2014/2020 for all the 28 Member States. Please notice that the Partnership agreements are going under revision to include the European Maritime and Fishery Fund (EMFF); therefore, some data may change in the following months.

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.

As part of the CRII/CRII+ package, at the request of a country, the expenditure declared in 2020-2021 accounting exercise could be financed 100% by EU resources. This option of 100% European co-financing is one of the most popular measures with the majority of modified programmes making use of this possibility.

The data below shows the number modified programmes with 100% EU co-financing in relation to the total number of cohesion policy programmes by country (TC = Interreg programmes). The table also counts the total number of priority exes (investments envelopes) and the number with 100% EU cofinancing.
