Public sector clients will be able to agree advance payments with domestic manufacturers

Public sector organisations will be able to determine the amount of the advance payment for certain domestically produced goods by agreement with the supplier. The Ministry of Finance has introduced a corresponding amendment to the regulations on accounting for state organisations.

The rule applies to purchases from domestic manufacturers of goods included in the list approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. The amount of the advance payment will be agreed by the parties when the contract is concluded.

The new regulation does not specify a standard advance payment percentage. For manufacturers, the terms of advance payment will depend on the agreement reached with the specific public sector customer.

The Ministry of Finance’s order is dated 20 May 2026, but it comes into force seven days after its official publication, i.e. on 20 October.
