Announced envelopes and investment targets — not counted in the totals
These figures are real, but they are not EU money allocated to the countries on this site: some are the budget of a worldwide programme, others are targets for loans and private investment to be mobilised with other partners. Adding them to the allocations would overstate EU spending in the region many times over.
| Programme | Figure | What the figure is | Period | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
