The pilot financial assistance mechanism will be valid for five years with the possibility of extension. Financing will be provided from 10% of the proceeds from special, antidumping, and compensatory duties.

The mechanism includes providing subsidies to national financial organizations and the Eurasian Development Bank at 100% of the base rate set by the national banks, with a commercial loan rate not exceeding 6.5% above the base rate.

The project selection criteria include the participation of enterprises from at least three member states and project completion within no more than five years. The selection will be conducted in several stages, involving state bodies and business communities. The decision to approve a project is made by the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

This mechanism will contribute to job creation, the production of industrial goods with added value, and an increase in the export of products to third countries.
