On 17 April 2003, the Government adopted the Regulation on the Fund in Support of Exports and approved the composition of the Administrative Board of the fund. The Regulation provides for the transfers from the state budget, donations by local and foreign natural and legal persons and sponsorships as the sources of the new fund.
