The Bulgarian cabinet increased the allowable 2020 budget deficit to 2.9% of the gross domestic product at an extraordinary video-conference sitting. Shifting from the initially-planned balanced budget to budget deficit aims to finance the extraordinary measures taken to deal with the COVID-19 epidemic. The government debt issuance ceiling increases from EUR 1.1 billion to EUR 5 billion. Since the beginning of 2020 the country issued government bonds to the tune of EUR 400 million and a new tender for another EUR 100 million is scheduled for the beginning of April. The changes adopted by the government will be submitted to Bulgaria’s National Assembly for approval.
