EU auditors say Chips Act will miss its 2030 chip target

EU auditors found the Chips Act is very unlikely to hit its 2030 target of a 20 percent global chip share. The EU held 9.8 percent in 2022; the Commission's own forecast puts 2030 at only 11.7 percent, funded with EUR 4.5 billion of Brussels money.

What it does not test. It does not establish that the Commission will revise the Chips Act's target or funding; that decision remains open.
