Absorption and the flow of the money

How much of what was contracted under ИСУН 2020 has actually been paid.

„Absorption" has two denominators, 12.7 points apart

Paid against the contracted grant is one number. Paid against the full contract value — which includes the beneficiary's own co-financing — is another, and materially lower.

Both are true of the same corpus. In Bulgarian public debate „усвояване" means the first, so that is the headline here; the second sits beside it rather than being left for a reader to derive and conclude the page is wrong.

The Recovery and Resilience Plan is the newest instrument, so its absorption is below the corpus average — that is age, not performance.
