Bulgaria ranks 7th in the EU when scale of investments through the Juncker Plan is concerned. The country has been doing a good job. There is no room for worry, as the projects financed so far would be further supported by Brussels. This is what European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen told BTA.

The new investment program for the period until 2027 is focused more towards preserving nature, towards small and medium-sized companies, and innovation. The future program is easier for implementation, Katainen says. Companies seeking financing would submit their projects to the European Central Bank or its local representation.
