At the annual meeting of business with the government in Bulgaria EC Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis presented positive results of euro area membership to Bulgarian. Dombrovskis has pointed out that cooperation with Bulgarian authorities was very good and the country had good fiscal policy and macroeconomic indicators.

However, Bulgaria is expected to improve overall governance in the financial sector, as well as to work for overcoming poverty and social exclusion. Commissioner Dombrovskis pointed out that the outcome of the stress tests in the banking system in July 2019 will be decisive for Bulgaria’s path to ERM II. According to the EU Commissioner, Eurozone membership is a guarantee for stability and a secure way to ensure a better business environment, which would help Bulgaria attract more foreign investors.
