PRR: Stalled Projects Will Be Released!

The new governance model for the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) brings a major innovation. PRR: funds from stalled projects will be released! From now on, funds from stalled projects will be released and redirected to ongoing initiatives. This measure aims to speed up the implementation of European funds and ensure that Portugal makes the most of the opportunities offered by the PRR.

Redirecting Funds to Dynamic Projects

With the introduction of this mechanism, the Portuguese government wants to avoid resources being left idle in projects that are not showing progress. The funds will therefore be reallocated to projects that have already been approved and are ready to move forward. This practice was already common in other EU frameworks and will now be applied to the PRR to maximise efficiency in the management of resources.

Creation of a Mobile Brigade of Specialists

To ensure that the funds are used efficiently, the government announced the creation of a mobile brigade made up of 62 specialists. These professionals will be available to support organisations such as IHRU and IAPMEI whenever there is a need for reinforcement in analysing applications or payment requests. In this way, the government aims to speed up processes and avoid delays in the application of funds.

Shorter deadlines for applications and payments

Another important novelty is the reduction in the deadlines for analysing applications and making payments. From now on, PRR applications cannot take more than 50 days to be analysed, while payments must be made within 20 days. This measure aims to ensure that funds reach the projects that really make a difference to the country's development quickly.

Positive Impact on the Economy

With these changes, the PRR promises to have an even more significant impact on Portugal's economic recovery. The release of funds from stalled projects, coupled with the reinforcement of the team of experts and the reduction of deadlines, will contribute to a more effective use of resources. This will directly benefit the companies and organisations that depend on the funds to drive their projects forward.
