The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was the American initiative to aid Europe, in which the United States gave $17 billion (approximately $160 billion in 2014 dollars) in economic support to help rebuild European economies after the end of World War II. The plan was in operation for four years beginning in April 1948.

The phrase "equivalent of the Marshall Plan" is often used to describe a proposed large-scale rescue program.
