The EFSD finances projects that:

They help the EFSD member States to overcome the consequences of the global crisis;
ensure the long-term sustainability of their economies;
They promote integration processes in the region.
These can be both financial loans to the governments of the EFSD member countries to support the budget, balance of payments and the national currency exchange rate, as well as investment loans to states or companies implementing interstate investment projects.

A prerequisite for the provision of financing from EFSD funds is the impossibility of attracting market financing for the full implementation of the project.

The minimum size of the EFSD investment loan for countries with GNI per capita exceeding 5 thousand US dollars is set at 30 million US dollars, for other countries — at 10 million US dollars. The minimum amount of the EFSD financial loan is set at 10 million dollars.
