“We are not going to have double-digit inflation in the country,” Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Assen Bassilev stated in response to criticism during the discussion of the draft state budget in parliament.
Minister Vassilev said he expected prices to stop growing by April, but added that the inflation rate will depend on how the conflict in Ukraine will develop and what action the US will take. He stated further that more money can only be allocated to the police, firefighters and the people working in the sphere of culture if there are reforms.
