Poland is considering redirecting funds from the European Union's recovery plan towards defence and economic resilience, according to Polish Funds Minister Katarzyna Pelczynska-Nalecz (via Reuters).

The European Union's recovery facility, which provides Poland with close to 60 billion euros in grants and loans, could see around 7 billion euros shifted to support defence industries and strengthen the country's security infrastructure.

Donald Tusk has emphasised the urgency of inter-ministerial cooperation to ensure these funds are swiftly reallocated, with a public investment bill potentially being approved by the government as early as next week. For now, it remains to be seen how the plan will evolve.
