Description
This discussion paper includes three case studies discussing how the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility acted as a catalyst to deliver structural reforms in Slovenia.
Highlights
- We analyse how the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) acted as a catalyst to deliver structural reforms in Slovenia.
- We examine three specific case studies: pension reform, long-term care reform, and public sector wage reform.
- The RRF's performance-based funding and the bundling of investments with legislative reforms provided crucial political momentum to accelerate implementation.
- The newly adopted reforms successfully establish a unified long-term care system, modernise public sector and safeguard long-term fiscal sustainability against rapid population ageing.
