Reforms and investments in digital technologies, infrastructures and processes are essential for increasing the Union’s resilience and innovative potential. They are also instrumental in reducing the EU’s external dependencies by diversifying key supply chains. The RRF supports reforms and investments aiming to promote the roll-out of very high capacity networks, the digitalisation of public services and government processes, the digitalisation of businesses, in particular SMEs, the development of basic and advanced digital skills as well as measures supporting digital-related R&D and the deployment of advanced technologies.
Beyond a general requirement to contribute to the digital transformation pillar, each Member State must dedicate at least 20% of its recovery and resilience plan’s total allocation to measures contributing to the digital transition or to addressing the challenges resulting from it.
Each recovery and resilience plan has to dedicate at least 20% of the plan’s total allocation to digital objectives. To this end, the plans had to specify and justify to what extent each measure contributes fully (100%), partly (40%) or has no impact (0%) on digital objectives, using Annex VII of the RRF Regulation. Combining the coefficients with the cost estimates of each measure allows assessing to what degree the plan contributes to digital objectives and whether it meets the 20% target.

This chart shows a breakdown of the estimated contribution to the policy pillar according to a list of policy areas established by the European Commission. The percentage relates to the overall share of the plan tagged under this policy pillar. Click here for more information on the pillar tagging methodology
Please note that the contribution to the digital transformation pillar is higher than the contribution to digital objectives as defined in Annex VII of the RRF Regulation, since methodologies differ. The differences arise mainly because all covered measures are considered to contribute with 100% of their estimated cost to the pillar, while some contribute only with 40% of their estimated cost to the digital objectives as defined in Annex VII of the Regulation.
This graph displays the overall number of milestones and targets, divided between reforms and investments.
This graph displays the share of fulfilled milestones and targets. A milestone or target is fulfilled once a Member State has provided the evidence to the Commission that it has completed the milestone or target and the Commission has assessed it positively in an implementing decision.
The Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2106 setting out the common indicators of the RRF entered into force on 2 December 2021. Member States first reported on the common indicators in February 2022.
