European Commission pays Lithuania 153 million euros for digitalization

The European Commission has released 153 million euros to Lithuania as part of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, a significant financial injection aimed at bolstering the nation's economy.

This latest payment, linked to Lithuania's sixth disbursement request, is specifically earmarked for advancing the digitalization of the public sector and increasing its overall transparency. The funds will also support vulnerable groups and improve the transparency of the electricity grid.

Further initiatives include the implementation of digital tools in public administration, enhancements in building renovation, monitoring of healthcare quality, and increasing cultural accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

To date, Lithuania has received a total of 2.84 billion euros from the European Commission through this facility. The Recovery and Resilience Facility is a key European Union program designed to strengthen member states' economies in the post-pandemic era.
