Croatia expands small-business loan program to €50k, adds 30% principal write-off

Croatia's small-entrepreneur loan program is being expanded: maximum loan increases to €50,000, with up to 30% principal write-off possible, and eligibility rules for beginner entrepreneurs relaxed. This is a domestic credit-support measure aimed at boosting small-business financing and entrepreneurship, likely part of broader economic stimulus. The change is confirmed by official program details, though implementation specifics and uptake remain to be seen.
