The Government will approve on Monday the funding for the next year, as well, of the state aid scheme for SMEs called IMM Invest Plus and its components, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca announced, according to Agerpres.

„It’s about that ordinance which stipulated the approval of the IMM Invest Plus state aid scheme ad its components IMM Invest Romania, Agro IMM Invest, IMM Prod, Grand Construct Innovation and Rural Invest. Practically, we are discussing about ensuring the measure’s funding for 2023, as well. Basically, through this measure, the total ceiling of the guarantees reaches over 20 billion lei and, this way, we are convinced that we are supporting both the business milieu and the economy, as well as ensuring jobs and encouraging all those who have an entrepreneurship spirit to further have a predictability in respect to the support which the Government grants to the business milieu,” PM Ciuca stated on Monday, in the beginning of a Gov’t meeting.

He underscored that the decisions regarding the support for SMEs are in accordance with the objectives assumed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and the targets set regarding the accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

„Thus, these are decisions in alignment with the demarches we have assumed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, which has that reform component and the investment component, and, also, the measures and responsibility we took on in order to observe the relevant standards of the European Union, but also those of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, taking into account the fact that, last week, we succeeded, as we committed, to submit the initial memorandum,” PM Ciuca stated.
