This year the Government has allocated a much higher amount of subvention for programs that help the initiation and development of SMEs, than in previous years.

The state allocated a nearly 676 million lei budget for the projects which can be increased to up to 1.9 billion lei through commitment credit loans from Ministry for Business Environment, Commerce and Entrepreneurship.

“As a first step of tangible assistance, MIÉRT has already developed a list of 15 business plans varying from auto services to beauty salons. This present call is to encourage our youngsters to always try to profit from the given opportunities, to use our business plans, to give these projects a shot” – said Antal Lóránt, president of MIÉRT, also adding: “if we want our youngsters to plan their futures and families, to build their careers here, at home, in Romania, we certainly need to establish the proper environment for them, we need to create possibilities for them. Also, it is very important to raise their attention on these possibilities, helping and supporting their succeeding.”
