The Finance Ministry has prepared three versions of the state budget, but the one that will be coordinated with the ministries, employers and trade unions envisages a deficit of 6.6%.

Rositsa Velkova said that Bulgaria’s budget will end 2022 with a 5.4% deficit on an accrual basis and a 3.4% deficit on a cash basis.
