Minister of Economy Dragica Sekulić said today at a meeting of business people with the Prime Minister and ministers at the Chamber of Economy that the Ministry of Economy has about EUR 2 million available next year which will invest in 10 programmes for improving the competitiveness of the economy. Six programmes are financial and 4 are non-financial.

She said that in 2019, over 300 businesses have benefited from various support programmes provided by the Ministry of Economy.

"About 160 companies have used the assistance through financial support and subsidy programmes and about 140 companies have used non-financial programmes (business plans, loan applications ...)."

She said that the Ministry of Economy plans to include two more programmes in 2020, namely: Digital transformation of the economy and Internationalisation of production and Montenegrin exportable products.

"Next year, we plan to prepare a new support programme that will be presented to the economy," Sekulić recalled.

The Minister said that the Ministry of Economy in the previous year, in cooperation with the Chamber of the Economy of Montenegro, worked on a set of laws: the Law on Companies, the Law on Concessions, the Law on Public Private Partnership. 

The Minister recalled the last year's cooperation with Montenegrin Electrical Transmission System (CGES) and Montenegrin Electricity Distribution System (CEDIS) on strengthening the electricity network. CEDIS plans to invest around EUR 90 million in the electricity network, all with the aim of getting our economy safe, reliable and quality electricity supply.

"We remain open to the demands of the economy," Minister Sekulić concluded.
