Enacom approves the "Subsidized Rate Loans" Financing Line

It is part of the "Financing and support for ICT Service providers" Program, approved through Synthesized Resolution 950/2025. The sum of US$ 7.13 million was allocated to this financing line. The regulator will partially subsidize the interest rates—up to 15%—of the loans granted by financial institutions, through the allocation of resources from the Universal Service Fund (FSU).

Synthesized Resolution 1385/2025, published today in the Official Gazette, calls on licensees to submit their projects, which must be oriented towards the operation, updating, and/or expansion of infrastructure networks linked to the provision of ICT services. The Annex that forms part of the measure establishes that the financing will be aimed at licensees who have a license and registrations and can prove the effective provision of ICT services for the last two years within the national territory.

This financing line seeks to facilitate access to financing instruments for providers, with the goal of developing the different regions and their social integration, reducing the digital gap, and enabling equitable, affordable, and quality access for all inhabitants. It also aims to "mobilize private capital and boost productive investment to accelerate the modernization of fixed and/or mobile connectivity network infrastructure by proposing a public-private hybrid model."
