A top manager of another company that received a preferential loan in 2023 told a ComNews correspondent that it took five months of active efforts and 54 documents to submit to Sberbank. "We started this process in April, but received the loan only in August. The forced transfer of our company to a market interest rate actually means bankruptcy for us," he complains.

Another ComNews source in the jamaica whatsapp number database Russian IT market knows that since August 2023, Sberbank has not concluded new loan agreements at a preferential rate with companies in the sector, citing a lack of limits.

president of "Russoft", stated that on December 1 he discussed this issue with one of the affected companies and contacted the Ministry of Digital Development to resolve the problem.

"Banks act in accordance with the terms of the loan. They have the right to change the rate if the funds to compensate for their losses from the provision of preferential lending have not been received from the state at the time of interest payment. They will wait for these funds to be received in the accounts to compensate the borrower for unjustified expenses. But during this time, the borrower may go bankrupt. We are talking only about the goodwill of banks - to enter or not to enter into the position of companies that in most cases cannot pay the suddenly increased bank commission. Some banks showed good will and did not demand payment of the increased commission, and some did. Colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Development are communicating with them," Valentin Makarov commented.

The association "MIT - We are IT" also joined the situation. The president of "MIT - We are IT" Evgeny Titarenko stated that the association is looking for options to resolve the situation without losses for IT companies. "The Ministry of Digital Development is negotiating with the bank. We ask you to remain calm, not to panic, not to undertake unnecessary activities and wait for the results of the negotiations," he voiced the official position of the association and urged to follow the comments of official representatives of the Ministry of Digital Development.

A representative of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media said in a chat with borrowing companies that there is talk of extending the program to 2024.
