Every three years, the Commission publishes its Cohesion Report; a report which assesses the current state-of-play of the EU's economic, social, and territorial cohesion, presenting progress made and lessons learned, and showing the EU's role as a driver for regional development.

The Report is data-driven: it analyses the evolution of cohesion according to a wide range of indicators, such as prosperity, employment, education levels, and governance. A clearer picture of what has been achieved and what still needs to be done will guide EU policies and investments to help regions achieve balanced and sustainable long-term growth.
