A Commission staff working document published on 5 August 2026 updates the climate and digital tracking tables for Hungary's modified recovery and resilience plan, assigning specific coefficients to each measure under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The document, SWD(2026)264, accompanies a Commission proposal to amend the Council Implementing Decision of 15 December 2022 that approved the assessment of Hungary's plan. It applies the methodologies set out in Annexes VI and VII of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 to the revised plan, marking changed measures in grey while leaving unchanged ones unmarked.
The tables list each measure with its budget, intervention field, and the applicable coefficient for climate and digital tracking. Among the measures assigned a 100% climate coefficient are renewable energy production (EUR 20.3 million), zero-emission buses (EUR 64.2 million), and an equity injection into a Rolling Stock Company (EUR 1,800.0 million). Digital measures with a 100% coefficient include e-government services (EUR 14.7 million) and an AI Gigafactory (EUR 500.0 million). Some measures carry both climate and digital coefficients, such as grid development (EUR 425.0 million), which is counted at 100% for climate and 40% for digital. Reforms and investments under the REPowerEU chapter are excluded from the digital target calculation.
The update follows the Commission's earlier assessment of Hungary's plan, which was approved by the Council in December 2022. The revised plan reflects changes agreed between Budapest and Brussels, and the tracking tables are intended to show how each measure contributes to the RRF's overall climate and digital spending targets. The proposal to amend the Council Implementing Decision will now be examined by the Council, with the European Parliament kept informed. The document does not alter the total financial allocation but clarifies how individual measures are counted toward the facility's policy objectives.
The revised tracking has direct implications for stakeholders. For Hungarian authorities, the precise coefficients determine which investments count toward the RRF's climate and digital targets, influencing reporting and compliance obligations. For businesses and investors, particularly in the energy, transport, and digital sectors, the classification signals which projects are prioritised for EU funding. For EU institutions, the updated tables provide a basis for monitoring Hungary's progress and for future payment requests. The exclusion of REPowerEU measures from the digital target may ease the pressure on Hungary to meet digital spending thresholds, while the high climate coefficients for large investments such as the rolling stock injection underscore the plan's green focus. Overall, the update is a technical but necessary step in the implementation of Hungary's recovery plan, ensuring that the revised measures are accurately reflected in the RRF's performance framework.
