Bulgaria’s economy will grow by up to 4.2% in 2018, employers forecast. According to a survey of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association, 70% of the company managers are planning to increase wages next year, BICA Chairman Vasil Velev announced. Incomes in Bulgaria are growing at a very good rate that exceeds economic logic and this has been happening not only in 2017, but for many years. The mid-term perspective is the same, i.e. Bulgaria does not need to take any extraordinary measures in this field, Vasil Velev said. Every second employer believes that the minimum salary should remain EUR 230 in 2018 and that the maximum insurable earnings should not change and amount to EUR 1.300 per month.
