recovery fund

Emergency financial pool

A recovery fund is money set aside to help rebuild after a crisis—economic downturns, natural disasters, or public health emergencies.

Governments and institutions establish recovery funds to finance rebuilding infrastructure, support affected businesses, or provide relief to individuals: The EU created a massive recovery fund in response to the pandemic.

The term implies organized, large-scale restoration rather than immediate emergency aid.
