The current multiannual financial framework (MFF) - the EU’s long-term budget - runs until the end of 2027. In 2025, the Commission will put forward comprehensive proposals for the post-2027 MFF and for the next generation of financial programmes. As announced in President von der Leyen’s Political Guidelines, the Commission is working towards a focused, simpler, and more impactful EU budget that reflects the EU’s strategic priorities, with the ambition to be an investment Commission.
