The measure targets to increase the agency’s ability to absorb funds earmarked for projects unfolded by SMEs and ease their access to financing, according to a draft government decision drawn up by the Economy Ministry.
The agency for SMEs had 288 employees when it was created in 2009 and has since been reorganized twice and left with 122 employees.
The agency implements government programs targeting small and medium-sized businesses. Romania has about half a million registered SMEs.
