Romanian Govt To Cover Difference Between Farming Loan Interest And EC Reference Rate

The decision, taken Wednesday by the Government through an ordinance, targets contracts signed after the act is published in the Official Journal and before December 31, 2010, for loans of any length. The subsidy will be provided until December 31, 2012.

"At the moment, the average interest rate on the Romanian market is 18% for loans in RON and this month the EC's reference rate is 8%, meaning we will cover ten percentage points from the state budget," the minister explained.
