Government eases dollar credit for companies

The government has officially announced the easing of dollar credit, allowing banks to grant foreign currency loans to companies not linked to the export sector. This measure was formalized through Decree No. 736/2026, which was published in the Official Gazette.

While the administration aims to stimulate economic activity and reduce interest rates, experts have raised concerns about the limited impact of this measure and highlighted the risks associated with currency mismatch. According to these specialists, the change could bring economic complications for companies that do not have dollar-denominated income.

The new regulatory framework is part of the government's efforts to stimulate growth in the private sector, although the implementation of these policies has sparked a debate regarding their potential consequences. Critics are highlighting the long-term viability of this strategy.
