French Finance Ministry announced loans up to €50,000 for fuel‑intensive small businesses in transport, fishing and agriculture.
Loans are 36‑month, 3.8% interest, require no guarantees, and target firms spending at least 5% of revenue on fuel.
Applications open April 13 via an online platform, with Bpifrance administering the scheme amid rising oil prices from the Iran conflict.
The measure aims to provide liquidity to transport and logistics sectors while avoiding broader subsidies that could widen France’s fiscal deficit.
