The European Union has faced wide-ranging political and economic disagreements during the preparation of the multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034. Despite the initial proposal of the European Commission to form a seven-year budget of almost €2 trillion, the member states have not yet been able to agree on the final amount of funding, the structure of expenditures, or the mechanisms for filling the common European treasury.
According to the results of the summit of the European Council on October 15-16, 2026 in Brussels, the prospects for reaching a political agreement by the end of the year remain uncertain. Negotiations are complicated by contradictions between the largest budget donors and the countries receiving European subsidies, the need to finance defense and technological modernization, as well as the upcoming elections in the leading EU states. href="https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2026/10/16/european-council-conclusions-on-competitiveness-the-next-multiannual-financial-framework-and-enlargement-and-reforms/">official conclusions of the European Council of October 16, the leaders of the member states discussed the key parameters of a possible compromise, but no final decision approved The President of the European Council, Antonio Koshti, has been instructed to continue the negotiations for timely agreement on the financial framework.
These discussions are of particular importance for Ukraine. The initial proposal of the European Commission envisaged the possibility of mobilizing up to €100 billion to support Ukraine in 2028–2034. It is important that the corresponding financial reserve is preserved in the revised compromise document presented by the Irish presidency of the EU Council on October 10.
At the same time, the presence of the Ukrainian reserve in the negotiation project does not yet mean its legal approval or guarantee of a specific payment schedule.
According to the assessment of the Experts Club information and analytical center, the current negotiations go far beyond the traditional allocation of budgetary resources. In fact, the European Union has to define a new model of financing its own strategic priorities in conditions of limited national budgets, rising security costs, technological competition with the USA and China, and the need to fulfill previously taken debt obligations.
The outcome of these negotiations will affect not only the financial prospects of the EU itself, but also the long-term economic stability of Ukraine, its recovery and European integration.
From €1.763 trillion to €1.622 trillion: how the budget proposal is changing
The beginning of the current negotiation process was the presentation by the European Commission on July 16, 2025 of the draft multiannual financial framework for 2028-2034.
The initial document of the European Commission envisages a total budget commitment of €1.763 trillion in permanent at the prices of 2025. At current prices, the corresponding amount is approximately €1.985 trillion, or about 1.26% of the total gross national income of the EU.
The proposed budget structure reflects the intention of the European Commission to gradually shift emphasis from traditional areas of funding to new strategic tasks: industrial competitiveness, defense, scientific research, digitalization, energy infrastructure and international security.
At the same time, a large part of the member states insists on maintaining funding for agriculture, regional development and social cohesion.
On October 10, 2026, Ireland, which chairs the EU Council in the second half of the year, presented a revised negotiating document - Negotiating Box.
According to EU Council Document No. 13922/26, the total volume of proposed budgetary commitments is reduced to €1.622 trillion in 2025 prices, or approximately €1.826 trillion in current prices.
So, compared to the initial project of the European Commission, the reduction is €141 billion, or about 8%.

Total | 1,763.1 | 1 622.0 | −141.0 |
Source: EU Council, negotiating document of 10 October 2026. Experts Club calculations. Rounding to one sign.
The above figures show that the largest reduction in absolute terms falls on competitiveness and security programs - approximately €66.6 billion.
According to the calculations of the Experts Club, this is about 47% of the total proposed budget reduction.
In relative terms, the most significant reduction is in foreign policy funding - by approximately 17.4% against the initial proposal. Competitiveness programs are cut by 12.8%, administrative spending by 8.8%, and the first block, which includes regional and agricultural policies, by about 3.4%.
Thus, the compromise actually involves a more moderate reduction in traditional funding lines, while new strategic programs undergo a more significant revision.
This could limit the EU's ability to simultaneously increase spending on technological development, infrastructure and defense, even if the relevant areas formally remain among the priorities.
Nominal growth of the budget does not mean an increase in its real capabilities
The Irish presidency characterizes the revised budget as a significant increase in funding compared to the current seven-year framework.
However, comparing budgets of different periods requires taking into account inflation, differences in prices of base years and the structure of debt costs.
From an economic point of view, it is crucial not only the total amount of funding, but also the amount of resources that will remain for the implementation of the programs after covering the mandatory payments.
The European Parliament estimates the real cost of the Irish proposal to be approximately 10% lower than the comparable amount of the current multi-year financial framework, taking into account the compensation of inflation and the repayment of the common European debt.
In monetary terms, according to the calculations of the parliamentary side, it is a reduction of the real possibilities of the budget by approximately €161 billion.
This estimate is part of the negotiating position of the European Parliament, but it demonstrates a fundamental difference between the nominal increase in spending and the real investment capacity of the European Union.
can agree on the distribution of fundsThe main contradiction of the negotiations lies in the difference in the financial interests of the member states.
Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and a number of other countries traditionally advocate restraining the growth of the European budget. Their position is related to the fact that these states make significant net contributions to the common financial system.
For such countries, an increase in the EU budget means the need to find additional resources within national budgets, which are already under pressure from social, defense and debt costs.
At the October summit, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that the revised budget proposal must be further reduced. At the same time, he acknowledged the difficulty of reaching a compromise by the end of 2026.
Sweden took a particularly tough position. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson opposed the Irish option, citing excessive financial burden. According to the Swedish estimates, the country's net contribution may increase by almost 60%.
States for which European funds are an important source of public and infrastructure investments have opposing interests.
Countries that support the preservation of cohesion policy, in particular Poland and a number of Central and Eastern European states, are interested in financing transport infrastructure, regional development, modernization of public utilities and support for less economically developed territories.
For them, the reduction of relevant programs means not only the loss of subsidies, but also a potential decrease in investment activity.
A separate line of conflict remains the common agricultural policy of the EU.
France, Spain, Italy and other countries with large agricultural sectors are interested in maintaining support for farmers and rural areas. Any significant reduction in such payments may be accompanied by protests from producers and political pressure on national governments.
As a result, a three-way contradiction is formed: the largest budget donors demand financial restraint, the recipients of subsidies - the protection of traditional programs, and the European Commission - the expansion of funding for new strategic directions.
In the opinion of the Experts Club, this structure of the conflict significantly complicates the negotiations, since a compromise on one item of expenditure often creates additional problems in others.
The European Parliament demands a more ambitious budget
An important participant in the negotiation process is the European Parliament, whose position is markedly different from the proposals of the Irish Presidency.
On April 28, 2026, the Parliament adopted its own negotiating position regarding the multi-year financial framework.
The MEPs proposed to set the financing of the main programs at approximately €1.789 trillion in 2025 prices, or 1.27% of the EU gross national income.
At the same time, the NextGenerationEU debt repayment costs of about €149.3 billion are proposed to be financed above the main budget limits.
Therefore, the total financial scale of the parliamentary approach, taking into account the debt component, is approximately €1.938 trillion in 2025 prices.
In a comparable methodology, this is approximately €316 billion more than the last proposal of the Irish presidency.
The difference is explained not only by the desire of the European Parliament to increase the financing of individual programs, but also by a fundamentally different approach to the display of debt obligations.
On October 16, representatives of the European Parliament criticized the revised compromise, emphasizing the risk of reducing the real investment capacity of the EU.
The parliamentary position provides for an increase in funding for defense, innovation, scientific research, regional development and social programs.
An additional contradiction concerns the mechanisms of managing funds. Deputies warn that excessive integration of programs into large national plans can weaken transparency and parliamentary control.
The final approval of the multiannual financial framework requires a unanimous decision of the member states in the EU Council after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.
Therefore, even reaching a compromise between national governments does not guarantee the automatic completion of the legislative process.
Elections in France, Spain and Italy increase the risk delaying negotiations
An additional factor of uncertainty is the election cycle in the largest countries of the European Union.
As Politico reported on October 19, Cypriot President Nicos Christodoulidis admitted that negotiators previously aimed to reach a political agreement by the end of 2026, but the upcoming elections may make this deadline difficult to meet.
November 29, 2026 in Spain early parliamentary elections. Their outcome may affect Madrid's future position on European contributions, agricultural support and the distribution of common financial resources.
Presidential elections in France will be held in the spring of 2027.
Президент Емманюель Макрон під час жовтневого саміту закликав завершити основні бюджетні домовленості до кінця 2026 року, попередивши, що подальше затягування може ускладнити процес.
Позиція Франції має особливе значення, оскільки країна одночасно є одним із найбільших учасників фінансування бюджету ЄС і важливим одержувачем аграрної підтримки.
Частина французьких правих та національно-консервативних політичних сил виступає за скорочення окремих загальноєвропейських витрат і посилення контролю над фінансовими повноваженнями Брюсселя.
В Італії у 2027 році також очікуються парламентські вибори. Уряд Джорджі Мелоні змушений враховувати як бюджетні обмеження, так і потреби аграрного сектору, промисловості та регіонів.
У Польщі виборчий цикл 2027 року може додатково посилити дискусії щодо майбутнього регіонального фінансування.
Таким чином, європейські уряди вступають у період, коли будь-яке рішення про збільшення національних внесків або скорочення субсидій може мати значні внутрішньополітичні наслідки.
За оцінкою Experts Club, це створює додатковий стимул для відкладення непопулярних бюджетних рішень до завершення виборчих кампаній.
Водночас політичні позиції майбутніх урядів залишаються невизначеними, тому результати виборів не можна автоматично трактувати як гарантію скорочення або збільшення європейського фінансування.

The second direction includes competitiveness, economic development, research, security and defense.
The third is responsible for foreign policy and international cooperation, the fourth — for the administrative functioning of EU institutions.
One of the key innovations is the formation of the European Competitiveness Fund — European Competitiveness Fund.

Це створює потенціал для інвестицій у штучний інтелект, напівпровідники, цифрову інфраструктуру, критичні технології та промислову модернізацію.
Однак скорочення бюджету порівняно з початковим проєктом обмежує масштаб цих можливостей.
Особливе місце в новій фінансовій рамці посідає енергетика.
The high cost of electricity and gas remains one of the factors restraining the competitiveness of the European metallurgy, chemical industry and other energy-intensive industries.
Financing of the modernization of power grids, cross-border infrastructure, energy storage systems and decarbonization is of strategic importance for reducing production costs and strengthening energy security.
At the same time, the need for financing is increasing. defense.
The continuation of the Russian war against Ukraine, changes in transatlantic relations and the need to expand the European defense-industrial potential increase the demand for investments in the production of ammunition, air defense, military logistics and strategic technologies.
According to the Experts Club, the economic problem is that all these areas require long-term capital investments, while the opportunities for traditional budget financing remain limited.
Therefore, the ability of European instruments to attract private capital through guarantees, co-financing and investment mechanisms will become increasingly important.
NextGenerationEU debt repayment limits financial space
One of the most important structural factors affecting the future EU budget is the need to service joint borrowings raised to overcome the economic consequences of the pandemic COVID-19.
This is primarily about the NextGenerationEU program, within which the European Union used large-scale joint borrowing on financial markets.
According to the budget documents, approximately €149.3 billion in constant 2025 prices, or €168 billion in current prices, is expected to repay the principal amount of the debt and interest payments in 2028-2034. prices.
On average, this corresponds to €24 billion annually in current prices.
Thus, part of the future budget will not be directed to the financing of new programs, but to the fulfillment of previously formed debt obligations.
According to the calculations of the Experts Club, the sum of €149.3 billion is equal to approximately 9.2% of the total volume of the Irish budget proposal.
This means that about a ninth of the proposed of the financial framework in its current structure is related to the costs of joint debt.
However, servicing these obligations has a fundamentally different economic nature than the financing of new infrastructural, scientific or industrial projects.
If interest rates remain high, the risk of an additional burden on the EU's budgetary capabilities will increase.
That is why the European Parliament proposes to finance debt payments above the main limits of the multi-year financial frame
In the broader economic context, the debt factor increases the competition between current expenditures and investments necessary for the future growth of the European economy.
New sources of EU revenues can bring in about €55 billion every year
A potential way to overcome budget contradictions is the expansion of the system of own resources of the European Union.
Today, a significant part of the common budget is formed by national contributions calculated taking into account the gross national income of the member states.
This creates political dependence of European finances on the willingness of individual governments to increase their own budget deductions.
The European Commission proposes to diversify revenues through the introduction of new financial mechanisms.
Among them is the allocation of part of the revenues from the system of trading quotas for greenhouse gas emissions ETS, proceeds from the cross-border carbon adjustment mechanism CBAM, payments related to tobacco products and uncollected e-waste, as well as contributions from large companies.
The latter mechanism provides for annual payments by companies based on the scale of their turnover.
In a revised document dated 10 October, the Irish Presidency presented a package that it estimated could potentially provide around €55 billion in additional revenue each year.
However, this is a forward estimate of the financial potential, and not an already approved source of budget revenues.
The implementation of the new system of own resources requires appropriate decisions at the EU level and the approval of member states in accordance with their constitutional procedures.
An additional problem is the possible impact of new payments on the competitiveness of European business.
In particular, the transfer of part of the tax burden to companies or carbon-intensive industries may cause objections from states with large industrial sectors.
Therefore, the creation of additional revenues does not eliminate the conflict between budget donors and recipients of financing, but partially transfers it to the area of distribution of tax revenues and regulation of economic activity.
According to the Experts Club, it is the negotiations regarding new own resources that can become one of the key elements of the future compromise.
What happens to the €100 billion provided for Ukraine
For Ukraine, the central element a special support mechanism for the years 2028–2034 remains in the future multi-year financial framework.
The initial proposal of the European Commission provided for the possibility of mobilizing approximately €100 billion in current prices to finance the recovery, economic support and advancement of Ukraine towards membership in the European Union.
In constant prices of 2025, this amount is about €88.9 billion.
It is important that negotiating document of the EU Council of October 10 keeps the Ukraine Reserve with the maximum volume €88.869 billion in 2025 prices.
Therefore, the difference between €100 billion and €88.869 billion does not represent a reduction in the intended aid. It is explained by the use of different price levels.
Unlike a number of other programs that were reduced in the Irish compromise, the maximum volume of the special Ukrainian reserve remained practically unchanged.
This has important political and economic significance.
First, support for Ukraine continues to be considered as a separate strategic direction of the EU budget policy.
Secondly, the preservation of the reserve allows laying a long-term financial basis for cooperation after the completion of current support programs.
Thirdly, the special structure of the mechanism creates opportunities to use various financial instruments, including grants, guarantees and lending.
At the same time, the proposed reserve remains part of the negotiating position, which is not legally binding.
The actual approval of the mechanism will depend on reaching a general agreement on the multi-year budget and the adoption of the corresponding legislation.
How the Ukrainian reserve can work
The negotiation document foresees several forms of use of future aid.
Financing can be provided through grant instruments, budget guarantees and credit operations secured by the financial capabilities of the EU budget.
According to the document, the maximum annual volume of mobilization of individual reserve instruments is set at €13.5 billion in 2025 prices
At the same time, this amount is not an approved annual payment to Ukraine, but determines the limit parameter of the corresponding part of the mechanism.
The possibility of providing budget guarantees to Ukraine in the amount of up to €42.658 billion is separately provided for.
At least €12 billion is defined as the estimated amount of cooperation with the European Investment Bank.
Subsidization of interest costs under the Ukraine Support credit mechanism is additionally allowed. Loan.
It is fundamentally important that the above indicators cannot be mechanically added to the total volume of the reserve.
They describe different ways of organizing financial support, and guarantees and credit instruments have a different economic nature than non-refundable grants.
A budget guarantee, for example, allows you to secure credit operations without the need to immediately transfer the entire guaranteed volume.
Grant financing, on the contrary, directly creates budget expenditures.
solutions.According to the Experts Club assessment, the key issue for Ukraine will be not only the preservation of the maximum financial volume, but also the determination of realistic schedules for the receipt of funds, the ratio of grants and loans, and mechanisms for financing large investment projects.
Why it is important for Ukraine to obtain certainty by 2027
The issue of approving the new budget has not only political, but also practical macro-financial implications for Kyiv importance.
The Ukrainian economy continues to function in conditions of a full-scale war, significant defense expenditures, the need to restore infrastructure and dependence on international financial support.
Long-term budget planning in such conditions requires maximum certainty regarding future external revenues.
The delay in the final approval of the European budget may complicate the formation of medium-term financial forecasts, the determination of state investment priorities and the preparation of large-scale recovery programs.
The political calendar of the European Union is gaining particular importance.
If a compromise is reached before the presidential elections in France in the spring of 2027, this may reduce some of the political uncertainty regarding long-term support for Ukraine.
At the same time, even early political approval of the budget will not mean the automatic launch of all financing instruments.
This will require final budget decisions, separate legal acts, procedures for approving programs and determining the conditions for the use of funds.
It is also important to distinguish between the future reserve for the years 2028–2034 and the already approved credit support for the years 2026–2027.
April 23, 2026 The Council of the EU has finally completed the legalization of the €90 billion credit mechanism.
This is a separate instrument intended to finance Ukraine's budgetary and defense needs in 2026-2027.
Its the estimated structure provides €30 billion for economic support and €60 billion for the defense sector.
At the same time, in October 2026, European officials drew attention to the additional need for financing Ukraine during 2027, which is not covered by the already agreed mechanism.
Thus, the European Union actually has to solve two related, but legally and financially distinct tasks: to ensure the short-term needs of Ukraine until the end of 2027 and at the same time to form stable support mechanisms for the next seven-year period period.
How the budget delay can affect the economy of the European Union
The absence of a political agreement by the end of 2026 will not mean an immediate halt to European programs.
The new multi-annual financial framework should come into effect on January 1, 2028.
At the same time, a significant number of accompanying legislative acts must be agreed for the practical launch of funding.
on the rules for the implementation of regional programs, mechanisms for supporting the agricultural sector, scientific research, industry, infrastructure, and international partners.
Approval of national and regional plans is also necessary for certain areas.
The later the European Council reaches a political compromise, the less time will be left for regulatory and administrative design of new programs.
Economic consequences may manifest primarily in investment delays, disruption of multi-year project planning and increased uncertainty for business.
In particular, infrastructure projects usually require long preparatory procedures, co-financing and agreement of contracts.
Lack of certainty regarding future budgetary resources may lead to the postponement of relevant decisions.
At the same time, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union provides a safeguard mechanism.
According to Article 312, if a new multiannual financial framework is not adopted until the end of the current one, the expenditure limits and other provisions of the last year of the previous framework continue to be applied until the approval of the new one.
Therefore, the automatic termination of all European budget funding from January 1, 2028 is not foreseen.
However, the continuation of the old budget parameters does not guarantee the full functioning of the new programs, for which a separate legal framework is required.
According to the Experts Club, the main economic risk is not in the simultaneous suspension of funding, but in wasting time, delaying investments and reducing the predictability of budget policy.
Three possible scenarios for EU budget agreement
The further development of negotiations will depend on the ability of European governments to find a balance between financial constraints, national interests and joint strategic tasks.
Experts Club highlights three main scenarios.
The first scenario is a political compromise to the end 2026 year
The most favorable from the point of view of financial planning is the achievement of a basic political agreement before the end of 2026.
This option involves the agreement of the overall size of the budget, the structure of expenditures and the principles of revenue generation.
A compromise may include a partial adjustment of the contributions of the member states, the redistribution of funding for individual programs and the gradual introduction of new own resources of the EU.
In this case, the European institutions will receive most of 2027 to complete the legislative procedures.
This will reduce the risk of funding delays after the start of the new budget period.
For Ukraine, the implementation of the first scenario will mean increasing the predictability of European support after 2027.
At the same time, the specific parameters of the use of the Ukrainian reserve will still require separate approval.
The second scenario is the transfer of agreements to the first half 2027
According to the second scenario, negotiations will continue after the end of the Irish presidency, and a final political compromise will be reached during the first half of 2027.
Such an option could be the result of continuing differences between budget donors, subsidy recipients and the European Parliament.
Additional influence will be the elections in France and the formation of political positions of others states.
Despite the complexity of the negotiations, reaching an agreement in the first half of 2027 will leave an opportunity to approve the main financial instruments before the start of the new budget cycle.
However, the time reserve for the development and approval of industry programs will be significantly reduced.
For Ukraine, the main risk will be the delay in legal consolidation of future support, which will complicate the preparation of long-term recovery projects.
When in itself, the postponement of the negotiations will not mean an automatic reduction of the planned €100 billion.
The third scenario is a long budget conflict until the end of 2027
The most problematic scenario involves the absence of a final compromise before the end of 2027.
In this case, the European Union may be forced to temporarily apply the budget parameters of the current financial framework.
This will avoid a complete stoppage of the budget process, but will create obstacles for the timely launch of new strategic programs.
First of all, the risks will concern initiatives in the field of competitiveness, defense-industrial complex, energy infrastructure, research and support of international partners.
For enterprises and investors, prolonged uncertainty may mean postponement of capital investments, the need to revise financial models and increase transaction costs.
For Ukraine, such a scenario may increase dependence on special credit solutions, bilateral agreements with EU states and financial programs of international organizations.
A separate problem will be the uncertainty regarding the terms of the actual launch of the new Ukrainian reserve.
However, none of the mentioned scenarios can be considered guaranteed. Their implementation will depend on the political dynamics, the macroeconomic situation and the results of inter-institutional negotiations.
Experts Club forecast: budget negotiations are becoming a test of the economic stability of the EU
The difficulty of agreeing on the budget for 2028-2034 shows the deepening of structural contradictions in the financial model of the European Union.
The European Union seeks to simultaneously expand defense capabilities, maintain industrial competitiveness, accelerate technological modernization, finance the energy transition, ensure social cohesion and preserve traditional support for agriculture.
All these areas require significant resources.
At the same time, national governments face their own budget constraints, the need to finance social obligations and increase defense spending.
An additional burden is created by servicing the common European debt formed in the previous financial period.
Therefore, even a budget of almost €2 trillion does not guarantee sufficient financing of all the strategic needs of the EU.
According to the Experts Club, the main economic issue is the prioritization of expenditures and the ability of the common budget to create a long-term investment effect.
If the European Union maintains an excessive focus on the distribution of funds between traditional programs without a sufficient increase in investment in technology, infrastructure and the defense industry, this may limit the pace of its economic modernization.
At the same time, a sharp reduction in funding for agriculture and regional development can increase economic disparities between member states.
That is why the future compromise should combine three tasks: maintaining financial discipline, supporting social and economic cohesion, and financing new strategic priorities.
It is fundamentally important for Ukraine that the maximum volume of the proposed financial reserve for 2028–2034 years remains unchanged even after the revision of the general budget.
This indicates the preservation of support for Ukraine among the strategic guidelines of the European budget policy.
However, the final decision has not yet been made, and the actual volumes, terms and conditions of financing will depend on the further negotiation process.
An important factor will also remain the ability of Ukraine to fulfill the agreed terms of financial support, implement the necessary reforms and prepare investment projects capable of effectively using European resources.
According to the Experts Club assessment, the key risk for Ukraine is not the immediate withdrawal of €100 billion from the budget project, but the possible postponement of legal formalization and the practical launch of financial support after 2027
Achieving a compromise by the end of 2026 would reduce this uncertainty and provide additional time for the preparation of new programs.
Postponing the negotiations to 2027 in itself will not mean a loss of the planned funding, but it may complicate the formation of long-term economic forecasts.
In a broader context, the budget negotiations are turning into a test of the ability of the European Union to adapt its own financial system to new geopolitical and economic realities.
Their result will show the extent to which European states are ready to jointly finance strategic public needs, not limited to short-term national interests.
For Ukraine, this issue is directly related to financial stability, post-war recovery, modernization of the economy and prospects for joining the European Union.
