The Recovery and Resilience Scoreboard includes a set of common indicators related to the objectives of the RRF. The common indicators show the progress of the implementation of the recovery and resilience plans towards common objectives and the overall performance of the RRF. Member States collect the common indicators data and report their numbers to the European Commission twice a year, by the end of February and the end of August.
In total, the Commission, the Member States and the European Parliament have identified 14 common indicators across all six policy pillars in the Delegated Regulation EU 2021/2106.
The common indicators display progress of the RRF towards its objective, in particular the six policy pillars of the Facility. They give a snapshot of each recovery and resilience plan (RRP) in a few areas common to most plans. They are not designed to capture all aspects of the plans, since the RRPs vary greatly across Member States. To see the progress in the implementation of individual RRPs, please visit the “Milestones and Targets” tab. Data on the common indicators cover all reforms and investments included in the recovery and resilience plans, irrespective of whether they are partly or fully financed by the RRF. This is meant to reflect the overall progress achieved with the help of RRF support.
When the data is displayed at the level of the Member States, the common indicator values are displayed in relative terms. This means that they are expressed in relation to specific indicators and national data, which is done to account for the different nature and national circumstances of the plans. When the Commission and Member States have agreed that certain indicators are not relevant for their recovery and resilience plan, these Member States are excluded from the graphs.
The Delegated Regulation EU 2021/2106, outlining the common indicators, was concluded on 28 September 2021. It foresees two reporting rounds per year, each covering the first (January to June) and second semester (July to December) of the year. The delegated regulation came into force in December 2021. Therefore, the first reporting round covers all progress in the implementation of the RRF as of February 2020 until the end of 2021. Moreover, by 28 February 2022 (the deadline for the first reporting on the common indicators), 5 Member States did not have an approved plan yet (BG, HU, NL, PL, SE). Therefore, these 5 Member States did not have to report on the common indicators in the first reporting round. By 31 August 2022 (the deadline for the second reporting on the common indicators), one Member State did not have an approved plan yet (HU) and therefore, did not have to report on the common indicators in the second reporting round.
For some indicators, there may be a time lag between the point at which a project is operational, or a reform has entered into force, and the point at which the data reflecting this progress is reported by the Member State. Therefore, Member States have the possibility to provide estimated values, accompanied by an explanation of how the value was estimated. Such estimated data can be revised when the real data is available.
Other scoreboards and dashboards developed by the European Commission complement the RRF-specific information provided here with further insights on the overall economic and social situation and resilience of each Member State.
