The planned cohesion policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic is not yet present in this most recent data to end June 2020. A significant reprogramming effort is underway under the Coronavirus Response Investment Initiative put in place in April. Significant changes are taking place in many national and regional cohesion policy programmes to support their COVID-19 response. We expect to see a large rise in expenditure in the next financial data reports due later this year and in early 2021.
