Launched in 2019, AB\u2019nin's post-pandemic Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) provides financial support to Member States such as Portugal and aims to make European economies and societies more sustainable, resilient and more prepared for green and digital transitions. In this section of Real Economy\u2019 we go to Lisbon\u2019 to see how RRF financing is being used to advance this transformation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With its long coastline, sunny weather and intriguing landscapes, Portugal is an important tourist destination. However, after the Covid-19 outbreak was interrupted, sector experts drew attention to the deficiencies in investment, education and sustainability in the sector.<\/p>\n

PortugalWe are reviving \u2019's tourism sector<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Catarina Nunes is vice-rector of the Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies, \u2019, Portugal, and leads a new RRF-funded program aimed at overcoming skills shortages in the \u2019 tourism industry. Speaking to Euronews\u2019e, he explained that more could be done to help the industry unlock its full potential.<\/p>\n

Catarina, \u201cPortugal\u2019 still has a long way to go in terms of education in tourism and hospitality, \u201d said. \u201cThere are changes imposed by the market: demands of innovation, improvement, sustainability, creation of new jobs, new trends, meeting the needs of the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are part of a consortium of three higher education institutions that will receive approximately \u20ac6.7 million. We can deliver a digital transformation for the industry, providing requalification, continuous improvement and training tailored to the needs of the market, \u201d said.<\/p>\n

It is estimated that about 8,000 students will benefit from this investment over five years.<\/p>\n

One such student, Jo\u00e3o Aleixo, Euronews\u2019e said that for him and others, the Healing and Endurance Facility\u2019 has opened access to higher education.<\/p>\n

\u201c, the national recovery plan gives me and others like me a very important opportunity to get a master's degree. I'm thinking of doing a master's degree linked to entrepreneurship, innovation and the development of society in tourism, \u201d explained.<\/p>\n

Through the RRF, Portugal\u2019's national rescue plan will benefit from \u20ac13.9 billion in grants and \u20ac2.7 billion in loans.<\/p>\n

Your plan is \u2019i will support climate targets, \u2019si will encourage digital transition.<\/p>\n

We need to ensure that our economy and social fabric are resilient to future crises.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fund supports investments and reforms in areas such as transportation, health and digital technologies, with special emphasis on social needs such as housing, which is a major problem in the Portuguese \u2019.<\/p>\n

Among the challenges facing Portugal \u2019 in the area of climate and environmental policies are making the building stock more energy efficient, diversifying energy sources and improving forest fire prevention.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Portugal\u2019in plan includes a large-scale investment program of 300 million Euro\u2019 to improve the energy efficiency of residential buildings.<\/p>\n

How does Portugal use RRF money?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

At the University of Lisbon, work is underway to provide affordable housing for 900 students in need.<\/p>\n

Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lisbon Vitor Leit\u00e3o \u201c said that the rents are very high\u201d. \u201c has a shortage of houses and rooms. Especially in Lisbon\u2019da and other major cities. So if we want to attract more students, we have to provide them with a place to stay. - \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c, this is the first of three buildings. In terms of funding, the EU will fund us through this resilience and recovery plan for around \u20ac27 million, at a total cost of around \u20ac39 million, \u201d added.<\/p>\n

PortugalIn line with \u2019's green goals, these new buildings must comply with energy efficiency requirements.<\/p>\n

While this is an important measure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the country is also investing in weather forecasting technologies that are more suited to the climate challenges ahead.<\/p>\n

To that end, the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA) is set to receive a \u20ac17 million RRF investment and has already purchased a \u20ac1 million supercomputer.<\/p>\n

IPMA President Miguel Miranda, \u201c, said this computer will allow us to increase our computational capacity by 20 times to provide data faster and with better quality.<\/p>\n

Miguel, \u201cPortugal is one of the countries most affected by climate change. Our capacity to improve atmospheric forecasts and ocean forecasts, no matter how small, has a huge impact on people's lives, \u201d added.<\/p>\n

Will RRF Portugal help sustain \u2019's recovery?<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

According to the European Union\u2019's recovery plan, the country's GDP is expected to reach \u2019 by 2026. %It will increase up to 2.4\u2019e and create employment for about 50,000 people.<\/p>\n

Euronews asked Mariana Vieira da Silva\u2019ya, the Portuguese government's Presidential Minister, if this would be enough to overcome the economic impacts of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, we think this is a good opportunity for us to get out of the crisis and at the same time prepare our economy for the future. And anyone can always say that more money is better than less money. However, I think that RRF\u2019 is a very important program that the European Union \u2019 can launch and that we can approve and implement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years after the launch of RRF\u2019, Euronews asked Mariana Vieira da Silva\u2019ya what lessons have been taken and on what issues she still believes improvements need to be made.<\/p>\n

We have a strong program on integration policy in countries like \u201cPortugal, and now we have a strong program on RRF. They have different rules and different evaluation mechanisms, and I think we need to coordinate them more than we do now because the country, the administrative capacity of each country is not unlimited. And I think these two mechanisms need more coordination. - \u201d<\/p>\n

Research into how RRF funding is used across Europe reveals that Portugal \u2019 has the second highest share allocated to social policy. But at this stage, is social policy investment a policy preference or an economic reality preference?<\/p>\n

Minister \u201cEh, both said \u201d, I think.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, there is an inequality problem that we need to address in Portugal, and this is one of the most important things that will ensure that digital and climate transition are not unfair. We've already had many crises in our lives: The financial crisis, then COVID-19, and now the war.<\/p>\n

Mariana Vieira da Silva, \u201cSo we need to ensure that our economy and social fabric are resilient enough to tackle future crises. I hope not, but we have to be prepared for them, \u201d said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
