The list of the firms and the importers can be found on the ministry’s website and in Decision No 242.
SBV said that commercial banks evaluate and grant credit extensions to the above-mentioned firms in accordance with current banking regulations.
In case issues arise during the evaluation and approval process, they have to report on the issues to the Governor of the SBV.
They are also requested to report each month to the Department of Credit for Economic Sectors on any credit granted to the firms.
Additionally, they are urged to step up reforms, simplify internal processes and diversify their banking products to facilitate credit.
Amid a volatile world fuel market, the Prime Minister has called on relevant authorities to look at ways to stabilize domestic fuel supply.
SBV has issued a document to keep fuel shortages at bay.
The document is expected to ensure sufficient bank loans to fuel firms, allowing them to import extra fuel in a timely manner, thereby keeping the domestic fuel supply stable.
