The State Reserve Fund has completed accepting applications for preferential lending. 34 entrepreneurs during two months decided to start their own business or expand already existing production. Business projects are related to agriculture, processing of agricultural products, secondary raw materials, production of consumer goods, tourism. The state reserve fund was formed at the expense of gratuitous aid to Russia, which was received to provide technical loans to support agribusiness entities. Preferential loans were already issued in 2008-2011. Totally, 514 million Russian rubles were allocated to support the economic agents of the republic. For the period of the program, large land users were able to purchase machinery, equipment, renew the fleet, and build gardens.

Later, with the decision of the Supreme Council, preferential loans extended to small business entities. Previously, the condition for their provision was a pledge. However, in the spring of this year, the deputy corps has extracted a legislative norm on this from the legal framework of the republic, amending the law "On the Fund of the State Reserve in Pridnestrovie". From now on, the right to receive credit resources from the State Reserve Fund is also enjoyed by those entrepreneurs who are not in a position to provide full collateral in full.

After collection of all applications, the directorate of the fund submits to the supervisory board of the State Reserve Fund of the republic the issue of granting surety and further crediting. After the deadline for submitting applications for a soft loan, the supervisory board of the fund determines the dates of its meetings. Small business entities present business plans in its course.
