The Bulgarian government has accelerated spending in February compared to the previous month. This became clear from the report on the state of the treasury in January and the expectations of the Ministry of Finance for its development in February, when there is a surplus of 137 million levs. s
The costs for the social and economic support measures, the 50-leva supplement to the pensions in the first two months of the year and the growth of the minimum pension since the beginning of this year are just some of the factors due to which the budget expenditures in February amounted to over BGN 1.2 billion compared to the same month in 2020, when the crisis with Covid-19 had not yet hit the country.
