“Bulgaria had the fastest and most adequate reaction to both the medical and the economic threat posed by the Covid-19 pandemic,” writes Prime Minister Boyko Borissov on Facebook, and adds that the measures taken were put into effect very early on and affected a great many people.
“The 60/40 wage support scheme alone saved over 300,000 jobs,” the Bulgarian prime minister writes further. “If it weren’t for the government’s measures, unemployment, which now stands at 7.5%, would now be 14%,” he adds.
According to Boyko Borissov, since 13 May the number of unemployed has been going down by 400-500 persons a day. The prime minister writes further that the most difficult times for the health system and for the economy are yet to come, but that data show that the country is on the right track.
