Now, for the first time, a Bulgarian representative becomes chairperson of the Governing Board of the Bank. For the second time in the bank's history, a woman will hold this position.

Bulgaria has been a member of the CEB since 28 May 1994, as currently 41 of the 47 CoE member states are CEB members. Bulgaria's share is 1.141% of the capital of the Bank.
