- Lack of long-term loans from commercial banks to lend to its customers.
- Constant shortage of foreign currency for the necessary procurement of imported materials and parts.
- Underdeveloped production of parts and materials from domestic industry.
- Underdeveloped sale of their products, processing of foreign markets, export and import.

- Organizes offer bureaus that process offers for the placement of engine and pump turbines with production.
- Develops export and import business functions.
- Organizes financing of operations with banks and funds.
- Develops programs of new products and components and provides funds for construction.

"The construction of the first ship turbine with a capacity of 420 horsepower will soon be completed at the "Edvard Kardelj" factory in Karlovac.
Soon it will begin a production of 250-kilowatt backpressure turbines, which are now under design."
