Regional Operational Programs are one of the instruments for implementing EU regional policy. In the 2014-2020 financial perspective, the funding of the Programs is provided from several sources. The aim of the article is to evaluate the financing structure of Regional Operational Programs in the context of expenditure of the public sector and economic entities, and to draw conclusions from the actual state of affairs in this aspect. The main source of ROP financing are European funds in the form of the European Regional Development Fund and the European Social Fund. The obligatory part is the national contribution, and it is in this area that we can apply a more detailed breakdown. Within the national public funds, the funds of local government units have the largest share. It is within the budgets of local government units that the largest amounts have been secured to cover the national contribution. An important source of ROP financing are also private funds of economic entities which come from their own funds and credit obligations. The share of other sources of financing the domestic contribution is insignificant. The financing structure differs due to the thematic scope of the ROP priority axes.
