Vice President Yotova wants economic headquarters established

A permanent economic headquarters and a detailed timeline of measures that Bulgaria would take in the coming months to overcome the Covid-19 crisis is what Vice President Iliana Yotova has called for.

The economic and social crisis is knocking on our door. I'm not saying current measures are bad, but they are few, insufficient, uncoordinated. Ultimately, a much more serious body needs to deal with what lies ahead in the coming months. According to the European Commission, Bulgaria will have a 10.6% decline in GDP, while our Ministry of Finance is talking about 3%, Yotova said and added that experience had taught her to trust the forecasts of the European Commission.
