No sure what you mean here. Seems like the EU recovery package is €1,824B. Also, in Sept and Oct they allocated €87.9B in financial support.

the SURE are bonds, not grants, idk why are you putting these on the table, from the tax payer pov bonds are just temporary transfers, it's the grants that will 'disappear'
