Many countries are faced with the dilemma of whether to continue these measures. Our call is not to stop them. If they stop, we risk mass bankruptcies, unemployment and loss of what has been achieved in recent decades, said the IMF chief.
The assessment of Bulgaria by the IMF is the best possible, the country does not need our financial support because it is stable,  Georgieva added.
