Although the competition policy is the exclusive competence of the European Union, and law on state aid is applied uniformly across the EU, it is up to the Member States to ultimately decide how to use and profile state aid. This article’s aim is to assess to what extent the state aid policies converged across the Visegrad Group countries after their accession to the EU. Hence, a statistical comparative analysis was conducted on changes in the value, intensity and purpose of state aid in the V4 countries. The study demonstrated that, in particular, the early years of the first and second full multiannual financial perspectives influenced the intensity and structure of state aid in the V4 countries. Although the main categories of aid are in line with those found in other EU Member States, support in the V4 countries is still structured differently to the EU average.
