The Ministry of Economy notes that access to financing for women entrepreneurs is limited due to high interest rates and strict collateral requirements.
Statistics show that women entrepreneurs and youth, according to the ministry, possess fewer formalized assets and are less likely to own real estate.
The SME 2030 program, according to the Ministry of Economy, aims to actively engage women in entrepreneurial activities: at least 40% of participants in new support programs should be women. This will be achieved through the introduction of specialized financial products, educational and acceleration initiatives, as well as measures to eliminate structural barriers to women's entrepreneurship.
