The head of the regular mission of the International Monetary Fund in Bulgaria, Jean-Francois Dauphin, has presented the results of the review of the Bulgarian economy and financial system. The fund's mission began on March 6 and ends today.

"Bulgaria's accession to the Eurozone in 2025 is realistic," said Dauphin. According to him, joining the euro will reduce some of the risks facing the Bulgarian economy. The fund's regular mission expects the Bulgarian economy to grow by 2.7% this year and inflation to be 3.5%.

Among the fund's long-term recommendations is the abolition of the maximum insurance threshold and the introduction of a progressive income tax scale.
