The maps below depict regional eligibilities of selected Member States. 

Croatia 

Both of Croatia`s regions are considered to be less-developed, as their GDP per capita amounts to less than 75% of the EU-27 average. Thus, at least 50% of its investments are geared towards supporting innovation and research, digital agenda, SMEs, and at least 12% of its allocations will support the shift to low-carbon economy. Croatia will receive almost € 6 billion in funding from structural funds. 

 

Bulgaria 

All of Bulgaria's regions have also been classified as less-developed. Thus, ERDF and ESF funding priorities of the allocated € 5 billion will be similar to Croatian funding priorities. 

 

On the other hand, capital regions of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia are considered to be more-developed, while the other regions of the countries in question are considered to be less-developed regions. 

Hungary

Six of the Hungarian regions are classified as less-developed regions, where GDP per capita amounts to less than 75% of the EU-27 average. This means that ESF will represent 25% of their total structural funds support (ESF & ERDF) amounting to approximately €15 billion of funding.  

Közép-Magyarország region with Budapest as its main economic area is the only Hungarian region, which has been classified as a More-developed region with its GDP per capita amounting to more than 90% of the EU-27 average.

Czech Republic 

Similarly to Hungary, the capital region of the Czech Republic is considered a more-developed region, while  other six regions are considered less-developed. Approximately €15 billion of structural funds has been allocated to the less-developed regions of the country. Prague will get funding of approximately € 88 million.

Italy

With Italian southern regions being less-developed, northern regions being more-developed regions, and the regions of Abruzzo and Molise being transition regions Italian less-developed regions will receive approximately € 22 billion funding, more-developed regions € 7.7 billion, and the transition regions € 1 billion of allocations from structural funds.
