Proposals for the next EU budget
Policy comments | 24 April 2025
The next EU budget (MFF), the cornerstone of the EU’s policy action, must respond to today’s multiple challenges by directing public spending towards building a more resilient, just and sustainable economy. It must also focus on making good use of the EU’s limited financial resources by following the horizontal principles of solidarity, cohesion, a just transition, human rights, transparency, partnership, ‘do no significant harm’ and ‘leave no one behind’.
Our current crises stem from the environmental and social injustices of past decades. It is therefore essential that we learn from current EU budget instruments to create a coherent, strategic, enforceable and accessible framework for the next EU budget.
Never miss an update
We expose the risks of international public finance and bring critical updates from the ground. We believe that the billions of public money should work for people and the environment.
