Italy And Spain, The Countries To Benefit Most From The Recovery Fund: €172.8 Bn And €140 Bn, Respectively, Between Transfers And Loans
The Recovery Fund exceeds the Merkel/Macron proposals with an amount of €750 billion euros (equivalent to 5.4% of the EU27’s annual GDP). Italy and Spain would be the countries to most benefit. This was something that was quickly reflected in the performance of peripheral credit on Wednesday, especially in the financial sector, with improvements on average of about 10bp in the CDS of banks in both countries. For its part, France and Germany will receive transfers of 39 Bn and 29 Bn, respectively.
