Original: EU governments spent €18 billion in 2026 to cushion energy price jump
EU governments spent €18 billion in 2026 to cushion the impact of a jump in energy prices, according to a Reuters report. The figure highlights the continued fiscal strain of energy market volatility on national budgets across the bloc, as member states once again stepped in to shield households and businesses from rising costs.
Why now: Renewed energy price increases are putting pressure on EU budgets, making the scale of government spending highly relevant to debates on energy policy and public finances.
