Central Asia Capital experts for T-Business: A breakdown of interest rate compensation mechanisms and a guide to navigating cooperation programs
Anton Sobin
The founder of Central Asia Capital, Anton Sobin, explains in an article for "T-Business Secrets" why entrepreneurs from EAEU countries hardly use the billions available for cooperation, what administrative and informational barriers hinder projects, and what needs to be changed for the program to start working at full capacity.
Billions of rubles lie on the table, but applications are in the single digits. EAEU subsidies for cooperation are one of the most underestimated tools of the Union: the state compensates for interest rates, supports joint projects, and stimulates exports, yet businesses are not rushing to take advantage of it.
In this piece, Anton Sobin explains in simple terms how the program works, what really stops entrepreneurs, and why now is the best moment to launch cooperation projects. The article includes practical recommendations, examples, checklists, and niches where new leaders could emerge as soon as tomorrow.
