The decision of Great Britain to leave the European Union will slow down economic growth in Bulgaria and as a result the budget deficit is likely to go up, Unicredit Bulbank has said. According to the bank the shock of Britain’s decision will cause a slowdown of economic growth in Bulgaria by 0.2 percent this year and by 1.1 percent next year. In the latest Ministry of Finance outlook, growth will reach 2.1% in 2016 and 2.5% in 2017. The bank’s analysts argue that Bulgarian exports will suffer most from Brexit. Investments will be affected too though not so strongly. A more limited effect is expected on the financing of the government and on the economy as a whole.
