In view of the strong interest shown by businesses and the need to allow applicants additional time to prepare their documentation, the Ministry of Economy informs the public that the deadline for submitting applications under the “Capital for Development” Programme for Subsidised Loans for the Purchase of Equipment and Working Capital has been extended to 30 November 2026.

A total of RSD 220 million in grant funding has been allocated for the implementation of the Programme, intended to subsidise interest rates on loans for the purchase of new equipment and the financing of permanent working capital.

The Programme is implemented by the Ministry of Economy in cooperation with the Development Agency of Serbia (RAS) and Banka Poštanska štedionica a.d. Belgrade. Its aim is to provide micro and small enterprises, entrepreneurs and cooperatives with access to more favourable financing, encourage investment and improve the liquidity of businesses.

The Programme covers loans for the purchase of new equipment and the financing of permanent working capital, with subsidised interest rates and repayment periods tailored to the purpose of each loan. The Ministry of Economy also subsidises commissions and loan application processing fees of up to 0.5%.

Detailed financing terms, eligibility criteria and required documentation are available in the public call and the Guidelines for the Implementation of the “Capital for Development” Programme on the Development Agency of Serbia website.
