In the context of addressing the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic effectively, the European Commission recommends that Bulgaria “ensure adequate social protection and essential services for all and strengthen active labour market policies, improve access to distance working and promote digital skills and equal access to education.”
Bulgaria also needs to “address the shortcomings in the adequacy of the minimum income scheme.” Another recommendation is for Bulgaria to “streamline and accelerate the procedures to provide effective support to small and medium-sized enterprises and self-employed, also ensuring their continued access to finance and flexible payment arrangements.”
The country also needs to “mobilise adequate financial resources to strengthen the resilience, accessibility and capacity of the health system.”
