✅Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES)
The Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES), launched in 2015, is a game-changing initiative by the Government of India to support exporters with subsidized interest rates on pre-shipment and post-shipment export credit. The scheme offers an interest subsidy of 3% to 5%, with a strong focus on empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in exports.
💡 Key Highlights of the Scheme:
✅ Objective: Reduce the financial burden on exporters and boost global competitiveness.
✅ Beneficiaries: MSMEs and other eligible exporters.
✅ Subsidy Rates: 3% to 5% on export credit interest rates.
✅ Impact: Enables exporters to access affordable credit, improve liquidity, and offer competitive pricing in international markets.
📊 Example:
If an MSME exporter secures export credit at a 9% interest rate, the 3% subsidy under IES reduces the effective rate to 6%. This directly lowers costs, improves financial stability, and enhances market competitiveness.
