Regional state aid programme for investment moves to ODA from 2027
From 1 January 2027, the Regional State Aid Programme for Investment will be run by the Organisation for Entrepreneurship Development (ODA) instead of the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation. ODA will also become the state aid provider, while the ministry keeps policy and oversight.
ODA will draft an operational guide setting out stages and procedures, without changing the eligibility conditions or beneficiaries’ obligations. Grants are funded from the state budget within annually approved limits and from other sources. The programme’s budget was earlier raised from 2 to 4 billion lei.
ODA’s administrative costs for the programme are capped at 10% of the annual budget and are allocated separately from the aid paid to beneficiaries.
