140 million lei has been allocated for the implementation of ODIMM programs to support small and medium-sized enterprises in 2022.
As reported by the interim director of the Organization for the Development of the Sector of Small and Medium Enterprises of Moldova (ODIMM) Dumitru Pintea during a press conference on January 25, in particular, 30 million lei will be allocated for the implementation of the PARE 1 + 1 program; "Start for Youth" - 20 million lei; programs for bringing companies to the international market - 15 million lei; greening programs for SMEs – 15 million lei; "Women in Business" - 5 million lei. The Loan Guarantee Fund will also be supplemented with 15 million lei to 170 million lei. Another 35 million lei will be allocated for the implementation of new programs, the launch of which is scheduled for 2022: Second Chance, Digitization, Clusters, Rural Tourism and Social Enterprises. Dumitru Pintea added that although the state budget for 2022 provides only 140 million lei for the implementation of the above programs, the leadership of ODIMM and the Ministry of Economy turned to development partners (EU, GIZ, etc.) for financial support for these initiatives. It is worth noting that in previous years the partners have already provided financial assistance to the programs, and according to the assurances of the leaders of ODIMM and the Ministry of Economy, they agreed to support the projects this year as well. // 25.01.2022 - InfoMarket.
