The projects/actions to be funded by the new NSRF take into account the specific conditions and requirements of the country in the coming years and respond to the structural shortcomings of the Greek economy. At the same time, major projects launched under the NSRF 2014-2020 are being continued and finalized.
As an overall policy, it sets out the priorities and actions to be implemented, which aim to make a successful transition to a:

- “interconnected” Greece – 8% of resources.
- “More social” Greece – 30% of resources
